After our earlier walk around the old center of Homer, I take you out to the Homer Spit which was, I believe, actually the original location of anglo settlement. We were told the native peoples who lived here originally tended to live on the other side of Kechemak bay, which makes sense, since the spit has very little shelter or food sources on land. The Homer Spit is the tourism center of Homer with its marina. There is a ferry terminal and a hotel as well as little shops on stilts and restaurants as well as water taxi services and Halibut charters. Known as the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, lots of folks come out here to try and land one of these large, flat, flounder-like fish. We will also pass a shipyard where large commercial ships are in dry dock.

You must be pretty wet after this one. The rain doesn't seem half as bad with all those bright, colourful buildings. Wish we had more colour in the cities. Thanks for another great walk.😊

You said, "Hi guys!" in an excited tone (before you panned around), and when I saw the seagulls were who you were speaking to, I had to laugh!👍🏻 I should have known, as you spoke to the cows in Switzerland!👏🏻😉😊 It is just refreshing to hear others talk to animals like I do! 😁Lol.
Great video, Henry! Thank you🙏

I use to walk this almost everyday back in 1990/91 on my way to work. Wish that I had a paved path and restrooms back then. That would have been convenient. Thanks for the memories brother. The spit is so much more built up. Going back to Homer for the 1st time in 23years next month.

Hi Henry. I enjoyed this very nautical walk. I'm a bit of a pushover for anything nautical. Homer isn't too different from coastal Maine. I'm surprised I didn't see a shop selling fudge. Despite many things being closed, I think you benefited by going during the off season. A serene and beautiful walk. Thank you.

this was very interesting. It was a little Popeye the movie-ish. I thaink that was filmed on tin Malta. Some of the buildings had that ambiance though. The mountains are beautiful. Those colorful condos have a great vuewm byt U tgubj tiy gave ti be brave ti kuve ub a cibdi ib tgat sgire kube, /tge cikirs nade ne tgubj if /debnarj, U wibder giw ooeioke ebd yo ub Giner ir uf tget were birb tgere, .

Wow looks a lot different in 9 years. The icecream joint you passed on the boardwalk used to have a smallchild ride you put a quarter in and the boat goes up and down a few times.

By lands end as a little kid my favorite thing to do hands down was go to the beach at low tide and poke around tidal pools for sea creatures. Still to this day love marine life.

Lived there 72-74 worked in cannery at ens of spit, then at Totom cafe near Salty Daug Saloon, a lot less there then. Halibut is fileted.

Really enjoyed this walk. Does it rain most of the time in Alaska? I couldn't believe the amount of boats in one area. Wondered how they get their boats out . Ha. Love the boardwalks and the little shops
