My Solar Eclipse Experience

Join me on the kayak as I ramble on about one of the most amazing things I've experienced, the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse! Describing this event and/or viewing images and footage of it does not do it justice. It's something you have to experience on your own. Still, I'll go into detail on what led to me taking my family across the country to view this event. We drove to Texas originally and then clouds became very likely so we headed towards Southern Illinois the day before the eclipse.
It's a long video, but if you want to jump to the actual footage and photos from the eclipse I have chapters marked in the video.

This was the most validating video to watch. People that have not seen one just can’t understand why I can’t stop talking about it. We had just over three minutes in Evansville… totally going to watch again. We plan to watch somewhere in our home state, Alabama during the 2045 eclipse. I would love to travel to see one before. Just like everyone says, pictures and video just don’t catch it. It was indescribably magnificent. Thank you for sharing… yes I watched every minute of this video. I’m going to check out that podcast.

Thanks Ray! So glad you got to see totality and thanks for watching the entirety of of my video. I've spoken with a few people who didn't know that there's a big difference between partial and total. Even 99% and 100% is so different. Hopefully stories like ours can help inspire people to see the next one whenever they are able.
