After 3 days of nerve-wrecking forecasts and plans over plans to find the right spot, we decided to stay put in PD where we had originally planned to see the eclipse. <br />Guess what? We were set up on the wrong mile of the 4 Mile Beach! 200 metres from where we were standing, folks saw more than a minute of totality, and the rest of the beach to the north saw it all. We missed ALL of totality and only got to see the partial phases.<br />Don't feel so bad. There's always worse.<br />It would be my first total eclipse, and I was so heartbroken to be one of the few unlucky ones in PD that day.<br />I totally get your disappointment, but if it is any consolation, you didn't have to fly to the other end of the world and spend tons of money only to be left with a bitter feeling of sadness, in a town where everybody else was ecstatic about what they had witnessed...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425891959267000432noreply@blogger.com
