Marina post lightning repairs to wait for more parts and final config on Tue
TravelerI’ve just learned that Gypsy Django was struck by lightning, one of the worst sudden impact disasters for a cruising yacht. Were you in a large squall or thunderstorm, or was it an isolated event? Did you have any electronic devices in a "Faraday Box" like your microwave or oven, and if so, were they spared? Good luck with your repairs.
