A Morning Eclipsed

More of a cycling than a sailing post this, so be warned.

In preparation for the daily commute commencing the next day after a three week rest, I went for a cycle ride two consecutive mornings, to blow off the cobwebs and get the legs in gear. This was the second, and should've featured a substantial partial solar eclipse. Cloud was the only thing visible this morning, though where it broke over the sea to the south it gave spectacular crepuscular rays. The main reason for this going in the blog is the shot of the bay and the composition on the Noirmont point / condor ferry shot. Good enough for their brochure, no?

It was noticeably darker this morning, due to the eclipse. A bit later on the ride I was horrified to notice that Guernsey had a clear view of the sun!
