Ok, this has been buggin me since July. We were on the beach at the lake watching a storm roll by on the other side, a few miles away. Lightning in the distance but not close enough to worry about. I was rigging my H16 and decided to take a break to check the brisket. Walked back to the boat, reaching for the corner casting I got a huge static shock. Now I figured that was from the lightning and such and stepped away for the boat. At the same time the guy next to me grabbed his Hull TheMightyHobie18 and got an even bigger jolt. We played around with this for about 15 minutes at which time I went and checked out the grill again. During this time, I heard a distant roll of thunder and instantly noticed the hairs on my arms were no longer standing up.

My question, is, If fiberglass does not conduct electricity, what the hell were we getting shocked by?

Thanks
Sam
