Yeah, you'd think as an avid sailor I would know that...

But I would have guessed there was more large-scale thermal inertia that would have kept the breeze going than blocking ~60% of the sun for a little while would have caused.

Learned something new today.

Anyway, we get a total eclipse here in eastern Canada in just under 7 years. I'm looking forward to it! I've never experienced a total one.
