There's a reason for your name, eh? No, but I'll sail my 23 on the 23rd!

I sailed my eclipse the day before the eclipse-do I get honorable mention?

Looking cloudy here with good chance of rain for eclipse time.  Besides, I'd look pretty silly (OK, more silly) sailing around the lake with my welding helmit on!

I just got back from an afternoon sail but here in Maine the eclipse was just partial. It got a little dusky and the wind felt cooler.  With no glasses and more interest in sailing than watching it turned out to be another good day on the water.  I'm sure it I would have felt differently if we was in the path of the total eclipse.
