Within 24 hours of arriving in Anchorage I was on Kachemak Bay with my dad, looking for oysters and salmon:
I talked my father-in-law into going on a couple of trips, including one with nice weather and fun fishing:
A lot of the Anchorage-area family came down to Homer for Memorial Day weekend, so for a fun trip we went clam digging and mussel gathering in Sadie Cove:
We all went to Bishop’s Beach in Homer to fly kites and turn over rocks before heading back up to Anchorage to fly home:
There are a lot more photos in this Flickr set.

I went fishing twice and saw whales both times – the orca with Augustine happened on the second trip, when I’d figured out that you just have to take a LOT of shots and hope you get lucky. Even though it was very calm for the middle of Cook Inlet, with the boat moving and the whales moving it’s hard to get them in the frame and in focus, so getting one lined up with the mountain was crazy lucky.

The Billikin is for sale!
Looks like he (she?) needs some sanding and varnish, and maybe a check for rot at the base. It’d be a great spot for that ‘marital aid’ shop you’ve always dreamed of opening! Or maybe just a gift shop selling stuff like this.
