We saw it... (link) (pic)

the Sea of Cortez, and I saw it a few time from my old job site in Calif.

I think the magical thing is watching it travel across the sky and then before it drops over the horizon, it goes into eclipse. That is, the light it is reflecting from the sun is blocked from view by the earth shadow. You are watching it, and you yell to some one to come see it. Then without taking your eyes off of it, it just winks out!;D the other person comes up on deck and says some things about how much Mezcal you were drinking. Am I bitter? Can you tell it happened to me???? *yks
