Tropical Sails Corp has three tours for the August 21, Total Solar Eclipse in the USA. TSC has been to Africa, Turkey, China, and Australia- all twice. They charted the former Windjammer Barefoot Cruises fleet for the February 26, 1998 Total Solar Eclipse. Currently Tropical Sails has clients in Borneo, Belitung Island and in the Java Sea recovering from the March 9, 2016 total solar eclipse.

The last one in North America was Feb. 26, 1979. A nation went so long without. Without what? Without being totaled by a total eclipse of the sun.

August 21, 2017 totality returns as the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, therefore obscuring the image of the Sun from the prospective of a thin strip of land in the United States.

The moons shadow will touchdown in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Southern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina. Along a path a little over 100 miles wide the sun will be completely blocked by the moon.

Amateur astronomers, eclipse chasers, ecliptophiles from all over the globe will descent on this narrow strip of land to observe the dark side of the moon. The sun’s corona, prominences, and other phenomena will be visible by naked eye for a period just over two minutes. Planets will be visible in the daytime. The effect, which is very difficult to photograph,  brings chills and palpitations to observers. One client of Tropical Sails Corp said that, “it was like seeing the face of God.”

Tropical Sails Corp has been providing clients with opportunities to observe solar eclipses since the intrepid caravan of 35 motorhomes, trailers and rigs who drove the Baja in 1991. The two major factors of where to go to observe any solar eclipse are the weather, i.e. probability of cloud cover and length of the eclipse. 

West of the Grand Tetons promises the highest probabilities for clear skies, with Oregon just ahead of Idaho. Tropical Sails will be observing on the west side of the Tetons in Teton Valley, Driggs, ID. They are offering three tours for the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse.

The Teton Spring Lodge and Yellowstone Adventure is an 8 night tour offering an exquisite resort in the midst of wild flowers and a golf course. The tour visits Idaho Falls, West Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park, Jackson, WY and Teton Springs, ID.

The rustic Historic Hatchet resort is included in the 7 night Yellowstone and Tetons Solar Eclipse Adventure. This tour is one day shorter with base camp being the historic Hatchet Resort at Moran, WY.



 For those with limited time, Tropical Sails has three night package spending two of those nights in Idaho Falls, ID. All tours originate in Salt Lake City, UT.
