Saturday's Trip
Boy, we slept well last night!
After the relative inactivity of winter, it will take some time to get back into summer shape but the stiff muscles and fresh-air exhaustion felt good.
Here are a couple more photos from our trip.
The dock at Uncle Chuck's cabin is a focal point for activity along McDonald Spit. Here it is a welcomed berth for us after the crossing from Homer. Our boat is not a thing of beauty but it suits us. Denny is in the Captain's seat and our friend Butch is playing deckhand.
Looking back along the dock toward the cabin and McDonald Spit. The spit is a narrow strip of land, anchored by a row of spruce trees, that divides the sheltered waters of Kasitsna Bay from the open ocean of Cook Inlet. In this photo, the ocean is on the far side of the spit, behind the cabin. The cabin started out as a one-room shelter back in the 1960s and has grown over time, as so many Alaskan dwellings seem to do. At present, the old single-room forms the core of a living area that now includes a modern kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, two bedrooms and a large bunk room that can sleep six (and frequently more.) The out-buildings include a shop, a greenhouse, storage sheds and the original outhouse.
The peace and beauty of this spot have been enjoyed by many over the years.
