At the end of Homer AK spit, looking out on Kachemak Bay. There was almost a constant stream of boats going by. A mom, dad and little boy were trying to get a kite to fly. This was a 5-mile strip of land and a LOT of touristy trap sort of places (eating, gifts, etc). But looking at the bay, the mountains, boats was a beautiful sight.
This was a fishing boat at Ninilchek. They were unloading their catch of what looked like halibut. But we aren't certain because we have talked with people who say it costs $180 for a license to fish halibut and you are only allowed to catch ONE (1) halibut. Now if these were halibut, they were counting and measuring them at the cannery. Probably ranged from 3 to 4 feet long. They seemed to be huge. We are guessing commercial fishermen have different rules.
The morning we went on our cruise (Thurs 19th), we had only driven about one block or two when we spotted this mother moose and baby standing in the yard of this home in Seward. It is these unexpected spottings that seem to be so outstanding. One can look their eyeballs out along the roads and never spot anything. BUT, we certainly aren't complaining that they haven't dashed on the road in front of us.
This, too, was in Seward. As we walked down the dock area to board our boat for the cruise, this was the harbor scene of boats. You can see the big cruise liner in the background. Needless to say, there were a lot of people in town that day. The next day when we were leaving town, there were two cruise ships in the harbor and people and buses all over the place. So we aren't the only ones up here sight seeing. But we are seeing more and more people as time goes along.

I see a lot of coats. Maybe one of your posts could mention about the weather (unless DF objects).
