Anyone heading to see the solar eclipse ? We’ve booked a few nights in Spain around it with fingers crossed for blue skies. It’s late in the evening (8.30pm) so will need to be very clear for us to see it.

It will be my 3rd (Romania 1999, Tennessee USA 2017).

It's on my bucket list to see a total eclipse. I remember watching a partial eclipse, must have been in the late 90s but it wasn't enough to see the corona.

Better get planning if you want to do it anywhere around Europe. For Europe, there is this years and another one in August 2027. After that it’s out into the 2050’s sometime.

I decided to go for the August 2027 one in Malaga. The sun will be higher in the sky and totality is longer. I've never seen a total so quite looking forward to it.

Saw a total in Poland in 1999 (?) and the partial in Chester in 2015 (?) - magical things.

I found them tricky enough to photograph as the whole thing happens faster than you think so good to be set up properly if you want the photo. This one was form Tennessee in 2017...............

We expect to be sailing in the Mediterranean somewhere between Toulon & Barcelona. Looking forward to it.
