Alaska Day 34 Boat Trip to Seldovia

It wasn’t an early start this morning like yesterday. 

The 12 of us decided to use a coupon out of our tour saver book . So basically it boiled down to $30 for each person for a round trip to Seldovia via a high speed catamaran boat.  

Aboard the boat they had these TV’s that showed are position on a may and our speed.  High tech stuff. The boat was two years old and spotless.. 

They call this island Gull Island.  All those white spots are not gulls.

This little guy was out in the wind on the railing holding on for dear life.

 

Hang a left and we are at Seldovia.  A 45 minute ride doing about 30 knots.

Visitor center and museum.  the museum was in a room about 400 sq feet.

 

I think the police station had less.

Seems like this town in my opinion is famous for two things, wood carvings thru out town and real estate for sale. Click on the pic to enlarge

 

 

Part of the “Gang”

The rest of the “Gang” or most of it.

Yes this little town had a grocery store.

 

Then it was lunch time so we will try out the local food. 

Setting next to the window with a look over the bay I was able to catch this little bird chasing this eagle. This was the highlight of lunch for me. The Halibut fish & Chips sucked. I mean it was of poor quality and quantity.

Then a few of us walked down to the beach where I found these things. 

Then it was time for the ride back home with nice scenery.

Some of us enjoyed other things more than others.

We got back to the rigs and the neatest thing happened. What we thought was going to turn into a parking argument turned out to be a delightful encounter with a true native Alaskan and her husband. I cooked some halibut and offered it to them which they enjoyed. They in turn they gave us some cooked corn on the cob in the husk. I in turn gave their native Alaskan wife’s mother a piece of tempura halibut. Next thing you know we got a quart bag of frozen caribou soup that she made while with her tribe at the arctic circle.  Whoa or is it wow!  How’s that for sharing…..? Now to share a quart with 12 people. It will happen!

See ya…….
