We’re back in the Barred Islands, one of our favorite spots. It’s morning, and I’m drinking a part of the 62 bags of coffee Greg gave us (it now fills every crevice the boat has). ‘Cept today is different: we’re up early and setting off to the outer islands, perhaps Isle Au Haut again, but not sure just yet, we’re just trying to get away from any lights. That’s because early tomorrow morning is the second total eclipse of the moon. It starts at 4.51am, with the moon entering the earth’s shadow, and the eclipse will occur in its totality at 5.52am with the moon just above the SW horizon. I suspect it’ll be fading by then in any case as the morning light breaks through, and as the moon disappears over the morning horizon.
