I'm going to be on a cruise liner under the path.

I'm telling myself I have a 50:50 chance of actually seeing it.

I live just off the path of totality, in the northern suburbs of St. Louis. I don't have to go far to get in the path. I thought about trying to get closer to the maximum line, but I probably won't. As others have mentioned, weather is very unpredictable. You don't even need a rainy day. A stray puffy cloud at the wrong time can void much of the experience. Max totality is around 2'40".

I'll settle for the 70% here in Rochester NY and wait for the totality
path in 2024.

The strategy I've heard is to park yourself on a crossroads near the
center line of the totality, and be prepared to to speed in whatever direction
will get you out of the path of an oncoming cloud. Of course, that requires
and uncrowded road.

The boat will apparently do its level best to get us to a cloud-free bit
of ocean, and at least one crew of meteorologists are on board to advise.

But its the Atlantic, in hurricane season.

The Peanuts Eclipse week strips were last rerun as A strips in newspapers and gocomics.com in 2010.
