When I went to first view the boat that I now own, there was a big electric storm in the area, passed over just one hour before we stepped aboard.

Whilst we were there we found out that a big Cat with a much higher mast than us (just 30 metres away from us) had recieved a direct hit. Brand new cat ready for new season, just finished commissioning. It blew the radome, auto-pilot and vhf to bits. I feel sorry for the owners, but at the same time thankfull that I own one of the smaller boats in the marina.
