Did you get to see lightning hit the water? That is one of my favorite things to watch, not many people get to see that.

I have been in boats when lightning hits and I have talked to people that have been in the water close enough to feel a charge, but I wouldnt get out of my boat and stand in water during a storm.

Moving the boat to a sand bar or other shallow area is fine, but getting out is not a good idea at all in my mind, unless you are pulled up on land I guess.
