We
spent the day exploring Seward to see what it has to offer. Although it is mainly a fishing community we
will not be fishing here. That will come
mostly when we arrive in Soldotna and Homer.
We
visited a place called Lowell Point. It
is about 2.5 miles south of town. It is
a state park where the local folks go to swim and catch some rays (sunbath). There were little kids in their do-nothings
frolicking along the beach. It took me
back to when our children ran along the shores of Corpus Christi Bay in their
birthday suits. Oh what fun we had (got
pictures to prove it Elizabeth and Scott).
Oh how the years whiz by.
We
walked the sandy rock beach and enjoyed the views. We did have a little problem with these little
black flies. Them suckers had teeth! Some
Off insect spray took care of most of them but not all.
We
had taken a picnic lunch along so we decided to sit along Resurrection Bay and enjoy
the fine weather.
We booked an evening dinner cruise in Resurrection Bay, evening being 6 to 10
pm. Great dinner of prime rib and salmon. We arrived back at the port about 10:30 pm and the sun was in full regalia.
It is getting somewhat dark after
midnight until about 5:30 am. So maybe we will be back to “our normal” before
we leave Alaska.
All the pictures below are really from this cruise!
