The town of Homer, Alaska is at the end of the Sterling Highway.  The Homer Spit is a 4.5 mile geographical landmark on the south tip of the Kenai Peninsula that goes out into the Kachemak Bay.  Marinas, restaurants, shops, a hotel, and a few campgrounds fill the Spit.  It was enjoyable checking out shops on the Spit and we had a wonderful halibut lunch at one of the restaurants.  We also booked a wildlife cruise with Rainbow Tours for a 7 hour trip to Seldovia, an island in the Kachemak Bay.   Our tour started at 10:30 from the dock in Homer.  An hour and a half cruise checking out wildlife before we were to dock at Seldovia.  We headed out to Gull Island to check out the birds. …
