6-29 THUR
In morning we move over to Homer Spit and lands end. Lots of
activity and a very large boat basin. We run into Bill Sulivan and
other friendly boats. We BS and walk around. Go into town for McDs
and groceries. Rob and I go check out this cool bar, the Salty
Dog. At 6 we head up the inlet on the tide, turn at Anchor Point
and fight a following sea- the boat acts really poorly, rolls from
side to side. I'm at the wheel and Les keeps telling me to keep it
on the mark- I can't and get frustrated. Les takes over and
doesn't do much better. Rob's turn and he gets pissed. That's the
way the boat is, quit bitching and deal with it. Put water in the
holds, slow down- whatever. Finally we make it into KENAI, come up
the river and get very excited. It's midnight. We dock and have
Champaign, wake up people, meet Dr. Phil and Jeb.
6-30 FRI
KENAI, Ward's Cove Cannery, check the place out. People line up to
check our boat out. It is the talk of the dock. We happily receive
many compliments. We go to the cannery store to check for mail.
Then go to "mug up" at the 10 o'clock break. Go up to the lockers
afterward, weird guy. Make a run to NC in North Kenai, McD's
again, see bent bike. Return to chores, fix radar (attempt to find
intermittent power problem), auto pilot still too sensitive, fix
hydraulic pump position, remove nets, take on the skiff and other
junk. Then go to 3 p.m. mug up, check out the girls. Fishy but cute.
Continue chores, Cook pizza and barbecue chicken. Fuel up takes
forever. Run back into town for food. Rob goes for fish gear,
plays. We go next door and talk, look for party, have girls down
to boat. Get yelled at for staying up late.
