BroadAmbition Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Today we will be onboard 'B.A' - transiting from Stalham to LBBy, we'll be underway at 0930-ish when there is to be a 90% -ish eclipse - so it will go a lot darker - does this mean that all craft without nav lights have to berth up for five minutes or so? Just a thought Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 its about an 80% eclipse, so it will get dusk like. My best comment heard today, from a work colleague, texted his daughter, watch out for the eclipse between 8.30 and 10 30 - answer, is that this morning or this evening?

JennyMorgan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's getting noticeably darker as I write this so my guess is that its this morning! See you all on the other side, if the world hasn't ended. Nav lights on? Man's a troll! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you where into all that Druid stuff as well, having the eclipse on the first day of the spring equinox would carry quite some significance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilB Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It did get a little bit darker in Warwick, I popped over to the other side of the building to watch it. As this involves walking past the canteen it would have been rude not to stop for a bacon sarnie - So I did !! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Didn't see it. Too much cloud. Virgins were pretty scarce here in Essex too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WOT NO ECLIPSE" Looks like you were in the wrong place at the right time. Never mind it wasn't the end of the world. Iain in Scotland would have had the best view, providing there was no cloud cover. Waiting for your comment Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Morning all, Yes there was an eclipse, it went nearlly dark. Nope too much cloud cover here on the west coast. I did see the 1999 one though. Temp dropped like a stone. Next one is 2026? Iain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebee29 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Cloudy here in the North East this morning but the cloud cleared slightly and I got the briefest glimpse at about 2 thirds of the way then thick cloud covered it again. This afternoon we have clear sky & sunshine..... Typical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Calamitous in Childerditch, the light levels dropped, the fork lift driver put his headlights on, and apart from clouds - that's all we saw. Grendel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It darkened a little here, enough for my chickens to troop back into their chicken house! Other than that the non event of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetKingfisher1 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Dearest London was in thick mist this morning, so no luck in seeing the Eclipse, but guess what ? Around 10:15 mist lifted and after that a lovely sunning day . I also saw the Eclipse in 1999 and that was a good one .

JennyMorgan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Marina referred to London as being 'dearest'. It might be in parts but I found that a pint of Adnams was no dearer in a pub opposite the Houses of Parliament was than it was on The Broads. Got to be fair to London!
