July 27 - Ninilchik

Our Internet is real slow here, so we'll put more info up on our visit to the Kenai Peninsula and halibut country later.  We're staying at the Deep Creek State Park, right on the Cook Inlet with several volcanoes about 30 miles across the bay. It's about 30 miles north of Homer, Halibut Capitol of the World.

Loons, eagles, and a great sunset behind a distant volcano, Mt. Redoubt.

 

Another Volcano, Mt. Iliamna, across the Inlet.

Halibut charter on Saturday and we're hoping to catch some big ones - like this 160 pounder in the middle!  They call the big "barn doors" because that's what it's like reeling one in, or "shooters" because they have to shoot them before they can haul them in the boat.
