six of us (me, russ, gordon, doug, caleb, & nichole) went deep sea fishing, 8 hrs. in Kachemak Bay out of Homer...the boat was aluminum (I think), owned by this crusty bachelor kind of guy...he had the men steering the boat half the time, as he cut bait, put lines out, and netted fish. here he is pulling in the anchor...the tide rises 19 feet in this bay. If your anchor is down when the tide rises (and it rises fast) your boat can capsize. We didn't see or feel the tide, but he did. We saw tons of cute and happy sea otters all around us. it was a beautiful and fun day. cool, but we were dressed warm.
Caleb was the first to catch a fish!
