Break out your stop watch and ALT+Tab your screen shots to Word and you'll be through this one in a breeze (a storm breeze that is)
Ground Strikes/Air Bolts: They're all good
Count them all and note the shapes of the two directional strikes
Good Luck and see you on the 12th
Love the music in P.R. (Do I detect some notes of finality to it?)
(Edited for clarity)

Great site here. Been around the last few weeks, but this is the first post. Here's some light reading for our next adventure:
Just a short sail to Castaway Cay....
Happy Hunting!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Palisadoes - Port Royal. 22/04/05; Kingston; 7,523 ha; 17º55'N 076º49'W. Protected area. Located on the southeastern coast just offshore from the capital Kingston, the site contains cays, shoals, mangrove lagoons, mangrove islands, coral reefs, seagrass beds and shallow water, thus hosting a variety of underrepresented wetland types. Endangered and vulnerable species occurring in the area include American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) and bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). To date 26 endemic new species have been discovered in the area. Historic and cultural values are very high, as the site includes forts on the dunes and part of the city of Port Royal, said to have been the largest city in the Americas, which sank in an earthquake in 1692 and is now a unique archaeological treasure. A management plan is in place, and the University of the West Indies operates research facilities. Ramsar site no. 1454.
A good link for history buffs.

Pay attention to the ground strikes.....watch those single bolts closely. But most important for me was to note WHERE the sequence begins. If you have a Mac, I "suggest apple+shift+3" to screen capture....the Japanese characters warn you when a strike is about to occur.

Lightning Strikes In case you can't count that fast (and I couldn't). Here's a capture of the last lightning strike. Hope it helps!

Keyword OK, I'm slow. Can someone explain how to find the keyword to get into Isla Culebra?
Yes, I know the keyword has already been posted, but I can't for the life of me see where it came from.

Timing the time between each strike is so damn hard can anyone just tell me the time between them? or the coordinates!?

lightning strikes There are 10 lightning strikes. Each one is a code which corresponds to a number/letter of the next lat/long coordinate.
