Harry got his day on the water. A half day of fishing was still full leaving at 7 and returning around 2:30. On the shorter trips, they don't go out as far and target the smaller halibuts steaming out for 1.5 hours at 20 knots. Flat calm, bit of fog in the morning which cleared middle day. Harry got his 2 halibut which is the limit, 28" and 31". It's a gamble, do you throw back the smaller fish hoping the boat will stay out long enough to catch a bigger one? Nope, he kept them both. Good decision. Not really enough to ship out this time but we have some for a couple meals, shared w/S & E and more tucked away in the freezer.
Homer sits on the end of Homer Spit, a sand and gravel strip of land that is most likely the remains of an ancient glacial moraine. Surrounded by the Pacific Ring of Fire, on a clear day you can see some of the 4 volcanos. One of the photos was taken from our "front yard" in one of the municipal beach campgrounds. Beautiful town.
