Finally ran out of battery power this morning after 5 days of dry camping so had to start the generator to get coffee going. Left Swiftwater Campground and stopped at Fred Meyer to dump all our tanks and fill up with water before heading to Homer. Short drive but very pretty. Cloudy and much cooler today which we expected being on the ocean. (currently 7:00 p.m.and 55 degrees) Tomorrow is to be mid-to-upper 60’s and sunny. Homer, like the rest of the Kenai Peninsula, is full of fishermen as this is the height of the Halibut season. We are parked on the spit so we saw several boat loads of fish come in. Some weighed over 100 pounds. The Spit RV Park is nothing to write home about, but I guess I’m doing it anyway. Spaces are quite close together and are all fine glacial gravel, tracks in badly. They quoted me $30 per night when I made the reservation and when we checked in they charged us $37.50 for electric only. Too much but we’re staying anyway because we need to hook up to recharge our batteries. Makes up for some free nights at Wal-Mart and Fred Meyer. We stopped at the Visitor’s Center and got some good information about things to see and do while we are here. Have our 5 days here pretty well planned.
