August 5, 2007, travel to Homer, AK

Today, we drove to Homer which is one of the major destinations on the Kenai Peninsula. Most of the people come here to fish. They catch some very large halibut here. Most catches are between 50 and 100 pounds. Some of them are over 300 pounds. We are camped at the end of the Homer Spit which is a narrow piece of land about 3 miles long. We have water in front of us, a road behind and the boat harbor across the road. Toward evening the sun finally came out, and we had a beautiful sunset about 10:30 pm. The days are now getting shorter, and we do have some real darkness during the night
