On the day of the 1999 solar eclipse,(11th August),
Paul and I boarded the Brittany Ferries luxury cruise ship 'Val de Loire'
in Plymouth, bound for Santander in northern Spain. We were both equipped
with a motorcycle, far too much luggage and not nearly enough money!
The eclipse was a total anti-climax,the sky over
Plymouth was completely overcast and apart from the fact that it got dark
for a couple of minutes, and every idiot for miles around had their camera
out, we didn't see a thing except camera flashes.
