Last year Beverly chased two of her passions – cruising, and space when she traveled with Holland America on their Total Solar Eclipse cruise in Australia!

View of the total solar eclipse that occurred on 14 Nov 2012 from the deck of the MS Oosterdam in the Coral Sea off the eastern coast of Australia. Movement of the sun in the video is due to the ship's motion.

Although the duration of totality was 2m36s, clouds obscured our view at about 1m20s into totality. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic sight to behold.
