The level of the anger and seriousness in your post means you must be in the
other 30%, eh? This is the internet. Lighten up.

I live in Florida. In the Summer months, we do all of our boating early in
the day, and try to get off of the water before the afternoon thunderstorms
roll in around 2 pm. I'm in the process of breaking in a new motor. I have
19.4 hours on it since a week from last Friday. I worked Monday through
Thursday this past week...which means I've had 5 days to put those hours on
the engine. I didn't go last Saturday, but did go the other 4 days. I take
my young kids with me, which means I'm seldom out the door before 9am. So
in 4 days, I averaged about 5 hours of boating per day...from 9am until 2pm
each day.

The reason I don't talk about boating on the internet, is because when I'm
in the mood for boating, I go boating...rather than just talking about it.

I'd like to do the same, but almost-daily, unpredictable visits from the
lightning vendor have made boating a major pain in the ass around here this
summer.

This has been one of the worst summers that I can remember for electrical
storms. Usually, you can count on them to hit in early to mid-afternoon.
Lately, they're popping up at all hours of the day. I went out about 8:30am
today. Seas were 4-6, tightly spaced, and white-capping. I got out about 5
miles, fished for an hour, and by 11am, a storm had chased me in.

I would still like to see someone put the cable weather radar channel on a
broadcast station. That is the best way to keep an eye on these storms.
You could have weather doppler radar on your boat for the price of a cheap 12v
TV.
They could pay for it by running ad crawls.

In my case, "chased in" could be dicey. My 14' yacht will get me through
anything, but sometimes slowly. But, the worst part is what happens at the
launch ramp. It's a town ramp, staffed by the most ancient guys you've ever
seen. With a storm behind me last week, I lined up with a bunch of other
boats to pull out, and watched as some putz straightened out his boat,
rinsed his fishing buckets and put his canvas in place before pulling his
boat out. At the same instant, 3 of us started yelling at the guy, and
another boat began blowing its horn. Some old geezer hobbled out of the
ticket booth and said something to the asshole. He didn't budge. Finally,
the coolest little Coast Guard boat* cruised in from the inlet, pulled up
behind the guy, said something, and he was out of the water in about 8
seconds. Afterward, 3 of us were out in under 5 minutes, by helping each
other. It also helped to chase all the dumb sightseers off the dock,
especially two enormously fat ladies who thought it was helpful to make the
floating dock list at a 30 degree angle.

* CG has a couple of new boats here. They look like inflatables (round
around the outside, maybe 30' long, with small center cabins where a center
console would normally be. They seeem to fly through any kind of turbulence
without bouncing. Amazing.

A lady just got killed down on the East coast of Florida a week ago. The
boat ramp had a long back-up as a storm was bearing down on everybody. The
lady who was killed pulled up on a nearby island to wait for the ramp to
clear, and a tree she was sitting by got hit by lightning.
