I keep meaning to ask about your eclipse experience - I was with a
group of friends on a ship between Cyprus and Libya. It was quite an
experience, the first one I have seen (went to Devon in 1999 and saw a
load of clouds). Really weird during totality when everything went
purple and orange - the time seemed to fly by. We want to go and see
the aurora borealis next.

Umm... were you on the MV Perla? We were, and sailed from
Heraklion-Benghazi-Tripoli-Santorini-Piraeus.

If you were, I'm disappointed; we could have had a shedmoot!

I thought the eclipse was great but didn't like the long coach trip...
