During the summer weather can change very quickly even within an hour's time. That is why we always advise going on trips with other members. Try to paddle to land when seeing cloud formations leading to a storm. If you are caught on the water during a lightning storm do what you can to minimize your foot print. Lower all fishing poles & paddles as Graphite is a great conductor. Stay off your cell phone and above all remain calm as the storm passes.
