They had decided earlier on to keep a fishing rod in its holder so any lightning would strike that instead of the boat."You can feel the force of them when they're cracking and the noise but when that one hit so close it was deafening."When I heard the big bang I knew exactly what happened because I could smell burning straight away.
"The rod was less than a metre from me. I sort of closed my eyes, tried to calm a little bit, then another one crashed near us which the other two saw.Risking it to get back"I was concerned for my life but I was more concerned about the two people on board.Waves were crashing over the bough and the GPS unit kept turning on and off but they managed to slowly guided the boat back to land.
"We came straight home and had a quick drink, just a skull in a shot glass each and said, 'mate, we cheated death.'"Unless you experience it and see it, you can't explain until you're in that situation."
the power of God.......
