Lets say you have walked 5 miles up thin strip of beach. The strip of beach, no wider than a football field at it's widest point, separates the intracoastal waterway and the atlantic ocean. Hence, water on both sides. The beach is a wildlife refuge and therefore contains absolutely no man-made objects.
Assume that a large thunderstorm rapidly approaches, giving you approximately 20 minutes before the heavy rains, blinding lightning and deafening cracks of thunder begin. You have a backpack and a fishing pole. The fishing pole is a graphite composite 7' foot rod, with a machine grade aluminum reel. You have a stainless steel leatherman attached to your belt and a GPS unit in your pocket. In your bookbag you have about two pints of water and several lures, many containing lead sinkers embedded within them.
Assume the lightning and thunder will last about 2 hours. What the heck do you do?
