ok, I've asked people before but I've never gotten an actuall answer outside of speculation. Is kayaking in a thunderstorm really dengerous?
I know lightening has a tendenacy to hit the bottom of valleys and mountain peaks, and well water. However, a plastic boat really does not provided a very good conduit for electricity. I'm a golfer too and the second I see dark clouds I am off the course. Can't say I've heard of a kayaker getting struck by lightening though. So.. high risk, no risk, moderate risk?
