Getting caught in a thunderstorm is one of those I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN moments as a boat owner. Back when there was the old cut, I was working my way through the Monomoy fog to go east of Chatham. I had no radio (stupid! I know) boats started screaming by me in the other direction. Had an uneasy feeling and finally decided to turn around. The fog cleared at Stage Harbor and I looked to southwest to see a wall of dark clouds and pencil lightning. Ran the 5 miles at full throttle making the harbor with lighting all around. Never again! Bought the marine radio the next day.
So heavy threat I don't go. Moderate threat keep the distance from the ramp down. Greatest tool is the radar app on the cell phone.
