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.

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