My dad told me about a guy he went to college with doing that on a sailboat one time. Guy was out of his mind on shrooms and decided to climb the (metal) mast and make himself comfortable. Storm blows up, he starts singing and won't come down, like Lt. Dan yelling at the hurricane in Forest Gump, but with lightning touching down all over the place.
"I'm a crow and this is my nest!" Supposedly the owner of the boat waited for the trip to wear off,
then punched him in the face.
