Nice! Yours?
Not only is the island too far east, it was cloudy. But, my daughter is in the Midwest right under the path of maximum eclipse: She forgot (I had told her) and when I called her at 6:15 Eastern, it was cloudy. We have pictures of her on top of Santa Ynez Mountains above Santa Barbara when she was little, with hundreds of crescents on and around her, projected by gaps between leaves. I suspect your eclipse left too much sun for that.
Note the sunspots in the photo: there was an X1 flare yesterday. Not exactly the quiet sun that was discussed here a few years ago, with hypotheses that quiet sun would counteract man-related global warming!
