    Dear CC,

    Perhaps you could release a raft with a bunch of these rockets set to go off
    one at time when the storm clouds have a charge built up (as the guys at the
    cape station do). Maybe the lightening would all go to the raft and leave
    your boat alone.

    I suppose you would need a great lot of rockets on the raft though...

    Or you could make friends with some rich folks, say in West Palm, and raft up
    at the next dock from a super sailboat with 100 foot plus mast.
