@meloz1246: Thanks. I have looked at your video. You had good luck. Three cloud layers are hard to beat. I've seen pictures from a guy on a ship between Rarotonga and Mangaia. They could see the whole eclipse.

@bnies73 yes it seems we were both looking at the same circle of sunshine off the coast wishing we were on a ship also. Always a gamble.

Check out the view we got to see 2.5 kms south.

Such a bad luck, the Sun peeked out from behind the clouds seconds after the totality.

I was there!! We and some of the islanders all gathered at the airstrip to see the eclipse. We did'nt actually see totality because of the clouds, but it got dark.
