On a sunny day, Fletch and I headed for Homer, driving along the endless blue of Cook Inlet, stopping in Ninilchik (above) for a close-up view of bald eagles. In Homer, most people take a water taxi across the bay to kayak among the coves and inlets, but, being short on cash and time, we decided to kayak ourselves across the bay. It was a little unorthodox. But we portaged our kayaks down the beach at low tide then set out for the distant mountains.
It took an hour and a half of waves and slight seasickness to reach the other side (and an hour and a half back) but the other side was a uninhabited beach with glacial run off braiding through the sand and rocks:
A workout for our arms, shoulders, and tenacity!
So many mountains. So beautiful. It does look a bit intimidating, however. As dangerous as when you sea kayaked in Ireland? Crazy woman.
ReplyDeleteProbably not as dangerous as Ireland.. since I wasn't alone this time!
ReplyDeletesometimes being broke can lead to better experiences... you two have long distance stamina. Wow!
