Getting caught in a thunder storm while in a 8' bass buster (the early days) an hour ride on a near dead battery from the truck.  Getting to the truck and the battery won't start the truck, lol.  Getting caught in a hail storm (lucky to have found an empty boat house) on Fork.  Walking 2 hours to the end of the Bolivar jetty only to turn around and realize there's a storm on shore and it's following me out.  No place to hide from the lightning and the waves were starting to blow over the jetty.    Greed has got me into some not so fun situations.  Now I'm a little more in control of the addiction and pick and choose the days better.   Oh, one non weather incident.  48 miles offshore from Freeport, TX an hour before dark last fall, just me and a buddy in his 26' twin vee.  Power for the VHF, Sirius, radar, and GPS is lost.  No problem, pull out the back up GPS but it won't get a signal for some reason.  Compass needed adjustment and was not accurate but who needs one if you have two GPS's onboard right?  I'm a electronics tech and always go offshore with a tool kit and a meter.  Start trouble shooting inside the center console in 3-4' chop and get seasick doing it.  The buss/ground everything was tied into had 12v but nothing was working.  As it was getting dark stopped to discuss our safety plan and everthing turned back on by itself.  Hauled A for home, later found a poorly crimper connector inside the Perko switch for the battery.  Not fun for a little while but a needed reality check at the same time.  big

TLBassin, been there...feel your pain.
