The Town of Homer, AK




This is the view driving out to Homer Spit.  It jets (spits) out for 4 miles and is a long narrow bar of gravel.  In 1964 after the earthquake it sank 4 to 6 feet - a lot of the buildings had to be rebuilt.


This is the another view of the town across the bay at low tide.


 And we had to visit the Salty Dawg Saloon (Jeff we looked and looked for your dollar bill you put up and couldn't find it - was fun reading some of them lol)






Patiently waiting at the bar while I take pictures.


OKKKK - Here's all the fish we caught!!!  


Well maybe this guy did!!  This is what a halibut looks like. Everywhere you looked this was the scene.  Have never seen so many charter boats.  Homer says they are the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World" and I believe it.

The marina there is huge.  They accommodate cruise and large cargo ships.



We were taking a walk and looked up and saw this eagle flying toward us.


He landed right above us and just sat there.
