We we made it down to Homer about 11am and had a quick lunch at a little dinner on the Spit, the town of Homer is just another little town but the spit has a lot of character. The Spit is nothing more than a 4.5 mile narrow piece of land that extends out into Kachemak Bay in the Gulf of Alaska. The spit is also home to the Homer Boat Harbor and several local business most of it local tourist stuff and fishing charters. They also have the Salty Dawg Saloon. A very unique bar with a little history to it too, click here.
It was only noon but I had to stop and have a beer. I'm on vacation right?
Yes, I had to leave my mark there too. According to the bartender their is an estimated 20k hanging on the walls! But it also goes to a good cause too, there are about 150 life preservers hanging on the walls. Any money pined to the life preservers goes to charity so they donate 3-5k a year to local charities. Very cool place, it was worth the trip just to see the Salty Dawg Saloon
This area is also very famous for the amount of eagles there too. We took a bunch of pictures of eagles in flight but I have not gone through them yet so maybe I will update this post with a a eagle picture if I was lucky to capture a really good picture of one.
It's 5:00 somewhere
