Sailing Under Rare Positive Lightning | Crackle! Fizz! BOOM! | Ep 381
September 08, 2024 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:06 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We’ve never, in all our 20 years of sailing, heard anything like it. Sailing through lightning storms is inevitable here in the tropics, and it’s something you try to get used to. But positive lightning is rare and accounts for less than 5% of strikes worldwide. And it’s 10 times more lethal.

followtheboat
We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
