Do you know that Kodiak is second large US island (after Big Hawaii) and in the past for some time it was like a capital of Russian Alaska?
It is easy to buy a ticket for Alaska Marinie Highway ships on the internet. I did. A ferry to Kodiak departs from Homer. I reached Homer by car at 9 pm. Homer do not have monuments but on approach to the town you will see from the viewpoint great panaorama of the bay and little spit – narrow mini-peninsula in it. On the tip of the peninsula is the ferry landing. It is a must to stop here… Before I got to the ferry moose walking the main street stopped me for the few minutes… Fun! KENNICOTT ferry boat reminds me Columbia I took in the past from Ballingham to Skagway. Terminal staff allowed me to park the car for free in front of the building for 2 days and soon we departed…
In the morning I saw Kodiak – unspoiled island with snowy capped mountains. The weather was sunny, although very windy. My new friend from Kodiak – Ceci took me to the places of interest (thanks a lot Ceci!). I returned to the ferry at 5 pm. Bad news: due to the stormy wind departure will be delayed by 1 hour and the ship will sail the longer route. As a result I will come to Homer with at least 4 hour delay…
