Leaving Seward and
onto Ninilchik a small community between Homer and Soldotna. We had
reservations at an RV park with full hook-ups who also booked fishing
charters. We were still undecided about going fishing or not.
The lady at the
check-in counter said because we are staying in the RV park, we can
save some money and if we picked the right day we could save some
more. We said “How about tomorrow? “
She looked at her
schedule and said if we went on Saturday we could save another $50.
OK sign us up!
Bill and Cathy
wanted to go but our girls declined the invitation.
After we paid, and
were walking back to the trailer in the 50 degree windy weather, I
was wondering if we made the right decision. It was cold here, what
would it be out on the water? Oh well we will have to dress up
warmly.
After we got set up
we were off to Homer.
The overlook before
you descend into town is a good place for photo opportunities.
I have said that a
lot of the communities we have visited are “interesting” because
I don’t quite know how to describe them any other way. Homer falls
into that category. We went out on the spit, a gravel embankment
that sticks out Kachemak Bay, with industrial buildings and boat junk
yards mixed in with souvenir shops, restaurants, and charter boat
fishing tour offices.
It was a popular
area as there were lots of people walking, shopping, fishing, and I
assume eating and signing up for fishing trips. Homer brags of being
“The halibut capitol of the world”.
A stop at a gift
store that closed 20 minutes early and saved us some money.
Next stop Safeway.
Friday night before the 4th of July weekend attracted a huge crowd to
join us. It was as busy as if it was a Friday night just before a
big holiday weekend.
Home for pasta
dinner thanks to Cathy.
A walk with Molly
down a huge flight of stairs (105, I counted them) to the beach and
back and it was time to make preparations for fishing.
