Annular Eclipse Mustang Island SP Campout

About this event

On October 14, 2023, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will occur in Corpus Christi, Texas. Before reaching Corpus Christi, the last major port of call for the eclipse in the U.S., the eclipse's duration of annularity—or how long the Sun will appear as a perfect "ring of fire" in the sky—will have been steadily increasing, with the shortest durations on the Oregon coast and the longest durations here on the Gulf coast. What's more, the centerline of the eclipse—where durations last the longest in any one area—slices directly through the center of Corpus Christi.

A number of us are camping at Mustang Island to observe this.  Although no formal kayak trips are planned, a few are planning on surf kayaking or fishing or just hanging out.  Other than the eclipse, the agenda is open for folks to fill in with their personal endeavors individually or as a group.  It is encouraged to follow Coast Guard safety protocols if kayaking, as this is not a HASK kayak trip, but a social gathering.
