Alaska-Homer Day Two

June 29 Friday Up early-4:30am to get the guys to the fishing pier on the spit. Boat took off at 6am. They got back about 10am with 24 lbs of halibut. We are sending 16 lbs home to Angela for the freezer and holding back 8 lbs for us. Halibut for dinner tonight! Everyone had a good time on the boat, but were tired when they got back. Gage and Reid headed back to the spit though to arrange a hike for tomorrow. They will leave at 8am tomorrow in a water taxi to Tutka Bay for an 8 hour hike up a mountain, elevation about 3,200 ft. We spent the afternoon watching a movie and relaxing. The guys went to get our 8lbs of halibut which had been vacuumed packed in 1lb packages. We cooked 3 lbs for dinner-- absolutely delicious!
