Caught in a lightning storm offshore in a Kayak - Listen to your gut

Woah!  What a story!   Glad everything turned out OK. 

I’ve been caught in the middle of a lightning storm on my motorcycle with bolts landing on both sides of the road around me as I was riding full throttle trying to get to the small patch of blue sky directly ahead of me in hopes of being able to outrun the storm. 

I can only imagine the helpless feeling of experiencing the same thing except being on the water with no motor. 

"It's better to be on the beach, wishing you were on the water. Than on the water, wishing you were on the beach"

"It's better to be on the beach, wishing you were on the water. Than on the water, wishing you were on the beach"

So true.
