KJ: your photo shows a foreground sailboat in front of a background lightning strike.
I well recall spending an hour watching a lightning storm deposit strikes on the land all around our anchorage, in a sailboat, where there were 20 to 30 other sailboats anchored. No boats were hit. We were frightened enough to don our floater coats, and to stay in the cockpit.
There is no predicting where a strike will actually hit, unless you have a proper lighning rod, one with experience. Most sailboats don't get hit, some do.
