Rained off and on most of the day but usually more of a heavy drizzle than rain. Was also cool and windy so all-in-all a pretty nasty day. I went to the coffee shop WIFI in the morning while Sandi slept-in. Checked out a few more shops in the afternoon but just looked, didn’t buy. After a while it all looks the same. We had reservations for a boat ride to Halibut Cove, 45 minutes across Katchamac Bay, for dinner so weren’t sure we wanted to keep the reservation. Finally decided that we would go even if it was raining and it turned out to be a good decision (mostly). The Island where the restaurant is located was very picturesque and we got to explore the island after dinner. Most of the houses are located along the shore with a boardwalk connecting them. Really interesting and neat! The return boat ride however was brutal. The boat left at 9:15, it still wasn’t raining but the wind came up and with the temperature in the mid-50’s we were pretty darn cold by the time we got back to Homer. The boat was a neat old wooden trawler but all open seating and no protection from the elements. Had a hot toddy when we got back and thawed out pretty fast though. It was a good trip. Oh yea, we had salmon for dinner.
