Well; it wasn't too hard to hold the then-non-bender Fire Nation away, since they weren't used to fighting without their bending during that time. And, Katara's bending was actually at her normal here. The start of the series shown her in a whole new light when she separated the distance between the two ships - shoving the other one away forcefully in broad daylight. Then in the Painted Lady .... ho, ho... that was just amazing. That wall of mist she had created, and her jet-ski like approach...throwing their ships into the mountain effortlessly. Then when she attacked Combustion Man at the Western Air Temple; come on, seriously? Those spikes all bounced off his arm and leg? I swear I thought she would have/should have skewered him with that intense wave of ice shards. :o!

But yea, one would guess the moon should have an effect on them. I'm not so sure it was displayed, though. Huu even stated he had to take a longer time to gather all the seaweed to use. Katara sliced down one war balloon but had to escape, unable to contend with the Firebenders when they had their Firebending back.

And; if we're only judging on their bending for during the eclipse....we didn't see any Waterbender use their bending, during the eclipse. ^^"
