i.e. you have no cell phone, no gps, no trolling motor battery, no main battery, no kicker motor, no depth finder, no two way or marine band radio.
Now, the storm is building and it is going to blow you further off shore.
The sun has set 4 hours before the lightning strike.
Also, the lightning bolt has medically affected two of the 4 folks on the boat.
What would you do?
