I was sitting in the cockpit at dusk with my friend Willy, leaning against the thick blue wire which delivers 240 volts to the boat, having the first beer of the evening. Willy suggested that I slowly move aweay from my seat, the reason being a scorpion crawling along the wire, with tail in the attack position, about to give me some sort of noxious i/v injection! Only about 4 inches from me, and me moving slowly was somewhere about the speed of light!
