We drove to the end of the Homer Spit checking things out along the way. We stopped at the Land's End Hotel and checked about their prices, $195 for 2 dbl beds. No way were we paying that much for a double bed, we could sleep in the camper in our queen. So we used the payphone in the lobby and called around. We hit the jackpot with the Ocean House Inn and Suites! They had one room left and he would rent it to use for the discount partial view rate.
We arrived to the quant little in by the sea excited about our find. They had 2 hot tubs on a cliff overlooking the sea, really comfortable beds and flush toilets with a shower. We chatted with our neighbors, 4 couples from MN who had just finished their halibut fishing trip. They caught just under 200 lbs of halibut. After getting settled in we decided to take a nice long walk on the beach before LOST. We got back to our patio and the neighbors had just finished eating fresh halibut. Offering us the remainder fish. I am not a fish eater, and I had already had fish once on the trip, meeting my personal requirement fish consumption. So I timidly accepted one small piece of fresh, lightly breaded and pan fried in half butter half olive oil. When I say fresh, I mean caught 4 hours ago. It was amazing. Unlike anything I have ever tasted! We continued to eat their leftovers, they wouldn't have been good then next day anyway... We finished up just in time to to watch LOST.
We finished up our Wednesday soaking in one of the hot tubs over looking the sea watching the sunset. Perfect.
The rest of the Homer experience included kayaking in the Kachemak Bay, visiting the Pratt Museum, tidepool exploring, shopping and many meals of halibut. We had Halibut for every meal, including breakfast (I skipped that and went for a sticky bun).

Watching the sunset from the hot tub. Divine. But, it must have been the middle of the night! Did you run those two guys in the hut reading the magnetic anomolies?
