Welcome, kayaker! Used to do a lot of canoeing myself! Had to buy the t-shirt a time or two...

WooHoo! Can you say "voltage spike?" Ever jumper a car when you had the end come off of one cable, and ground the cars together by touching the bumpers? It works! (On chrome-bumper cars... which aren't around much anymore... )
