Mermaid B&B Homer

... 3 other people and the pilot/guide in a Piper 206, a single engine 6 seater. Our instructions were to bring rain jacket and pants (for sitting on a wet beach or grass), water and food (absolutely no fish !), dressed in layers for chilly weather. They would provide rubber boots (actually fisherman hip waders).<br><br>Our destination was Hallo Bay, in Katmai National Park, southwest across Cook Inlet ...

... We visited Kenai, a small city to see the Church. It rained on our way to Homer. Just before we arrived at Homer, at the hilltop overlooking homer spit, this place offered a spectacular view of the glaciers! There're two telescope that enabled us to see the ship on the sea and car on the spit, not to mention the ice/snow on the glacier. <br><br>The B&amp;B was very ...

The bad weather finally caught up with us again this morning. It started to snow shortly after we got up and by the time we arrived at the eagles a sleety snow was falling. When we went into the yard we found out that there were to be too many people inside and we ended up standing outside the campground along the condos. This did give us a different ...

ello ello reader, hope you are well and that the summer has treated you wonderfully (those of you in australia can just **** off with your so called "winter") and that you have enjoyed the season to get outside and enjoy yourselves. my summer has dwindled down to.................18 days. yes i have broken down and verbalized to the world how many days i have left because at this point i just dont care if i annoy people ...

... he or another eagle showed up, sat in a tree nearby and eventually we fishing right in front of us. Five minutes later he was back to the same perch. As we waited for him to do more than sit, a moose wandered up the stream toward us and several juveniles flew overhead. Hunger finally made us return to the trailer for lunch. After lunch we stopped at the Islands and Oceans Visitor Center and walked down through Beluga Slough to see what was ...

... on the road of having a normal life with houses and cars and things of that sort. i suppose that im not COMPLETELY against these things but the only downside is that these jobs require me to stay in alaska year round and stop my wandering ways. maybe one day i will take my friends up on the offers but at the moment, money isnt that important to me. dont get me wrong, the more money i have, the more fun ...

... each other along the port side. If you catch a fish/have your bait stolen/need to start again for any reason move up to the front of the boat and join the end of the line of people fishing. 3) Keep moving towards the back of the boat as people leave the line to keep even spaces between everyone Apparently these instructions are amazingly complex and many people were incabable of following them causing various amounts of chaos and tangled lines as people lauched their ...

... in the advancing tide. There's something incredibly soothing about the ocean. Maybe because I grew up going to southern Florida almost every year I developed an affinity for the sea. I feel her immensity, her power, her ties to the rhythms of the moon. So many times I have stood on her shores with my heart open, grateful. On the Homer Spit, as the seas calmed, so did I, relaxing into the embrace of the sea. Across the waters ...

... serious thought about the consequences of coming down with pneumonia. the conclusion would be of course, financial disaster so thats not even an option. i live such a ying/yang existence at the moment. on one side i'll be diving somewhere or trekking through a forest etc etc and think to myself "man i have a really cool life"....on the other side is me holed up in a smallish tent in the middle of the night while the wind howls and i think to myself ...

... of the way had a little trouble with the muddy sections of the trail and such but i survived. another unexpected side effect of being close to a glacier is that its about 20 degree colder then when you started hiking towards it. very strange indeed but it makes sense. engorged myself on wild blueberries that were growing along the trail....very tasty but where there are berries the bears are usually close by....eat and walk baby eat ...
