Ever sped past a quiet town like Thorne on the motorway, oblivious to the incredible secrets it holds?

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...
