If you were the skipper, crew or witness to an on the water lightning encounter involving any kind of boat, either occupied or not, your participation in this survey would be greatly appreciated. There are ten short questions and it should only take a moment. An encounter is either a hit or near miss. A near miss is described as a hit close enough that the flash and thunder clap appeared to be simultaneous. Ultimately, its hoped that the data collected will allow a clearer perspective about several issues regarding the nature of these occurrences. http://www.stewartfam.net/arlyn/survey.html
