Beware of Christmas lights, rain and bare feet

Raining again in Ft Lauderdale. During a break in precipitation, I thought it a good time to pump out the holding tank.

Standing on the dock in wet bare feet, I came in contact with the bow rail which just happened to be wrapped in illuminated Christmas lights. Let's just say I was shocked with what happened next.

Lessons:
- Low voltage holiday lights can carry some impressive current
- Wear shoes on wet docks
- Wet Trex decking is conductive


At least I won't be depressed for a while.

Thank you for enlightening us about this hazard.

Think if you had rubber gloves on it would happen? Why put on shoes unless absolutely necessary.

got the tingle many time with morning dew and christmas lights on the boat, it will wake you up
