A Day (a long one!) On The Water
... lot of time to get the boat back. The Captain 'gassed up' before returning to the dock, then they have to get the people off, then get the fish off. They have to be pushed up the ramp for photos the fileting. Then, the orders for processing, freezing, and shipping have to be completed--oh, and paid for!!
We didn't eat off site--we just ate the remaining lunch items from what we took on the boat--then crashed!

Homer and then... Seward again!

We saw numerous fishermen in the streams and caught a glimpse of giant fish hanging in front of the stores waiting to be cleaned and sold. Honestly, I’m glad none of us like to fish.

We did several charters. A couple of more for halibut and a couple of combos for halibut and salmon. The best charter was in Seward where we caught our ...
Checking out fishing spots once more
... a fishing area and a viewing platform. We had a snack and watched the fish jumping up the lower part of the falls. There was a ladder or something similar to make it easier for them, but I'm not sure how they are to find it.
