Solar Eclipse Cruise July 2009 ?

[Kalos Orisate]

Are there any cruises for the July 2009 Solar Eclipse in the Pacific Ocean off China, south of Japan ?

I understand that YTK's Asuka II will be cruising the main area for the solar eclipse in July 2009. There will also be a whole bunch of charters and ferries dispatched from various parts of Japan, but right now details are still in the making.

Next stop 15th January 2010 in Africa, Indian Ocean, The Maldives, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, China..

 

The eclipse will be the annullar 'ring of fire' variety. We are fortunate to be going to the Maldives at this time, and staying 10 Miles or so from the central point. I'm being told that the Annular phase will lasy 10 minutes 46 seconds where we are staying. Should be great to see. :)
