The Halibut Fishing Capital of the World!

We had another great evening, spending precious time with great friends and then spent our morning bird watching in Kenai.

Then we were off to explore the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World!

Homer is a wonderful little harbor town surrounded by mountains, bald eagles, float planes, cute little otters, restaurants, and local one of a kind shops.

The Time Bandit (Discovery Channel, Deadliest Catch) was docked in Homer.

We had planned on staying in Homer on Saturday night and then Nanichik on Sunday night but we all like Kenai and the Beluga Lookout RV Park so much, it was an unaminous vote to go back to the bluff! Jerry (Beluga Lookout RV Park) is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The view from the bluff is second to none and the facility is the nicest we've found. Plus, going back to Kenai meant we had even more time with our friends, I am always up for that!

It is so nostalgic for me to be staying here on this bluff. Life can be so ironic with all it's twists and turns. About eighteen year ago, I worked at a Juvenile Facility right next to this RV park. During our lunch hour, I would walk down the bluff onto the mud flats with a friend/coworker to catch glimpses of beluga whales and visit with the RV travelers staying at this RV park. 

At that time, never in my wildest dreams did I ponder walking these flats as a tourist preparing to return home...to Hawaii...with the man of my dreams (As Mike so eloquently pointed out!)

Now, all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within me, to accomplish infinitely more than I could ever ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20, NLT)
