For more information, rules and registration go to 2010 Summer Slam Unseasonable Summer is Cause for Caution: Threats of Lightening: 2) Should you spot a threatening cloud ... even at a distance ... stop all contact with the water. Discontinue all water activities such as fishing or swimming. (Beware: Graphite fishing rods and aluminum landing nets are excellent conductors.) 3) Lower or remove radio antennas and other metal rod objects (unless they are part of a lightning protection system). 4) Disconnect and don't touch any electronic equipment, including the radio. 5) Stay in the center of the cabin or as low in the boat as possible to avoid becoming a human lightning rod. For the same reason, do not put each hand on any items connected to the electrical system at the same time. Navigating in High Wind and Waves: 2) Waves should be approached at a 45-degree angle. This will help keep the propeller underwater and reduce pounding. 3) In moderate seas, slow your speed so you can ride atop and over a wave. Avoid driving the bow into a wave or riding to the top of the wave and falling off the back, which could bury the bow. 4) Remember ... the heavier the seas, the slower your boat speed to minimize strain on the vessel and maximize steering control. 5) Continue to keep the bilge free of water to prevent the rolling effects of sloshing water below.
