Day 18, Homer, AK to Homer, AK, 50 mi

15 July 2015

This is the farthest from home that we will be on this trip, and we figured that it should be a 'relaxing day'.  Since our campsite doesn't have showers, and we haven't showered for ? days (only we know), we indulged ourselves and our clothes in a good cleaning at a nearby commercial RV/camp.  After $6.00/shower and $6.00 for a load of laundry ($18.00 total cleanliness fee), we were ready for lunch.

At the Homer Spit we found Captain Pattie's for lunch where we split a pound of mussels in coconut milk with ginger and curry followed by a fine lunch of grilled halibut, salmon, scallops, and shrimp (they were out of local oysters on the half-shell).  Easily the best mussels I have ever put in my clam hole!
Captain Pattie's is RECOMMENDED.

The rest of the afternoon was spent sucking up the local glacier views.

The big deal here is halibut and salmon fishing.  If we wern't on a motorcycle we would probably be fishing too.  However, without a cooler it is hard to deal with 10's or 100's of pounds of fresh fish.
