We had a late start today and a pretty light schedule. It was still raining but the forecast showed clearing later in the day.
We started out by heading into town to check out the interagency visitors center. It had a trail down to a slough that we took but there was not much to see. Our next stop was the farmers market. Several of the stalls were Old Believer families from the Russian Orthodox Church. We tried a potato pie which was pretty good, and cheap.
On the boat tour yesterday they pointed out a spot of land that had the most westernmost road in North America, so we decided to head out there. As we pulled into the lot there was a group of folks standing around a car in the lot. One of them came over and asked us if we had a metal hanger so they can try to unlock their car. We gave them one of our hangers and they managed to get the car unlocked. They had an interesting operation there where they launch fishing boats directly into the surf using old bulldozers. The fishing culture in Alaska is pretty impressive and omnipresent.
Our last stops for the day were to try taster trays at the two breweries in Homer. When we returned to our spot the sun was out and the mountains were clear, but the wind was howling, so after a brisk walk on the beach we hunkered down in scout and waited for sunset.
