Mom holding her baby. How cute! |
Puffins are cute! |
We also see many otters during the voyage, which is fun, because we didn't glimpse any while kayaking.
I think this guy is listening to his team's football game. |
They just scored a touchdown! |
We even see a raft of dozens of otters. |
Have to try some of the scenic shots... |
Here we are - Homer to Seldovia. |
Seldovia Slough (river inlet) |
We're able to see an eagle as we reach the docks, but we don't get a good picture. The town is very small. We have lunch at Tide Pool Cafe. (Some items on the menu aren't available, because the boat didn't deliver the groceries. It's a typical Alaska situation!) It only takes us about ten minutes to walk through town. It's fun seeing all the cabin houses.
I don't think the owners like otters - that's what is inside the beluga whale's mouth! (Or they just have a weird sense of humor?) |
There's a little park, too - I wonder if the developers planned for it to be multi-levels? The kids getting out of school use it that way. |
Here we all are on the eagle bench! |
It needs to have netting around it to really look authentic. |
We finish off the afternoon at the ice cream shop, then walk back to the boat for the two hour ride home. Along the way we see some humpback whales. There's a breach, but we're too far away to get a great picture, though Steve manages to get a shot of him out of the water.
That's actually half the whale out of the water. |
The more common picture - the blowhole spout. |
When we return home Mom cooks halibut dinner for us, with her homemade breading. Yum!
Pretty flowers to brighten up the cabin! |
We finish the day by eating dinner at AJ's Steakhouse, a recommendation from the manager of the cabins. It's an excellent steak, and the pretzel bread is very good. The wine prices are not marked up a lot - very similar to what you'd spend at a wine store. It's good to have a US style steak again! Unfortunately, I'm too busy eating to remember to take pictures.
Back at the cabin, the sky looks pretty, so I try more pictures from our "backyard."
First I look towards the campground my parents are staying at... |
...then across the bay. |
The next morning I look out...wait, what view?!? |
