Hey Andre, you think maybe we should consider going for a drive to check on the boats?
Gee, I dunno

Of course!
Even if that's not where your boat is.
You never know if that lightning bolt might have a quantum twin that just happens to strike wherever your boat is.

If you think it's close, always check. Two years ago, I was next door working on a neighbor's project truck when a huge lightning strike occurred. We thought nothing of it and went back to work. Five minutes later my phone rings and one of the neighbors says my house is on fire. Boat was in the basement. Fire department got there and put it out before it made it down to the boat. Just a little soot, and a lot of water (but boats are ok with water). Had the neighbor not called me, or about five more minutes elapsed before firemen got there, my boat would have been part of the rubble.

For you guys contemplating retirement plans, make sure NOT to include a house fire.
I had just retired and was ready to do some sailing. My insurance agent was there while the fire department was putting it out. He had the roof tarped as soon as the fire department left. Plenty of Coverage - thanks to my agent. I did military design/construction for 33 years, so it was a tiny project by comparison - even though it was a total gut to the sticks and rebuild with new roof framing and decking. Threw in a little change for some finish upgrades to make the Admiral happy. Other than losing two years of retirement, and several irreplaceable heirlooms, not a bad experience overall. Learned a lot of stuff about insurance that I never wanted to know, but very pleased with the outcome.
Most importantly, the boat was fine!

I’m more than contemplating retirement, I’m counting down as per the App below.
BTW Gary, I did check the boats Friday afternoon and all looks good, but that may have been before the lightning show.
That shot is very cool. Add it to your excellent collection.
Yep, it’s 4 times better than my joke.I’m thinking it’s a way cool photograph.
