What do you think/know about bonding strips. Do we need them?

I still put a laptop, portable VHF and GPS in the oven when lightning is
nearby, but have never been hit. I sleep with my head two feet away
from the mast, so if I actually get hit with lightning I probably won't
ever know if the oven trick worked.

What about watches, Ben? I always used to keep a casio digital watch in my
sextant box. But it occurs to me that it might be toast, too, in the event of a
lightning str
storm hit. Felt nothing, but jumped
a foot or so when the bolt struck very close to us.

I was once standing in a doorway less than 50 feet from a huge oak tree
that got struck as I watched. The power involved is unimaginable. The
idea that you can do anything at all to steer, or deter such a large
force is wishful thinking at best. No amount of #2 gauge ground wires is

I've checked my mother's lasagna recipe again, and sure enough, she

The oven-as-Faraday-cage urban legend has been around a long time. It *might*
work, but having been in the repair biz and having worked on a ton of lightning
damaged boats, I would NOT COUNT ON IT. The damage can be incredibly variable
and random. I had lightning blow my VHF antenna off and not
