Arrived Kodiak right on time after a great trip from Old Harbor. Kodiak yet another fishing town of Alaska, full of boats, docks, and houses along the coastline.

We had a couple of hours so departed the boat, making sure to carry ID and ferry ticket. Apparently they will not allow reentry without those two items, room keys do not count or knowledge that we have been on board for 4 days and they now theoretically know us. Personal relationships do not seem to count as much. We walked several blocks just looking and comparing to previous trips to the area. Both Jeanne and I had been here years ago teaching various classes. Jeanne teaching emergency trauma, and me teaching burn classes. Steve and I had been here 20 years + on a deer hunting trip with his son.

Several bars as per fishing towns, and we walked the main harbor just looking and admiring the boats. Mostly seiners with a few trawlers and longliners thrown into the mix. A working town. Not a lot of pleasure boats, although they may be in another harbor in the area. Ended up at a delightful brewery and enjoyed a good beer. Nothing overly exciting. Back to the ferry and the 10 hour run to Homer, arriving at 3 am. Ugh, but getting used to boat life which does not entail regular hours as arrivals and departures are at all hours.

Our friend Scott had driven our car, which we dropped at his house last week, and left it at the ferry terminal and we drove to his house, falling into bed for the second time this night. Proved to be a reasonable night of sleep despite awaking at 2:30. A delightful visit with Scott and Cindy that morning and then to the charging station to add a little electricity to the car. apparently the security system uses a fair amount of power, when people walk by and it records that. Next time remember to turn off the security system. We met with other friends at a coffee shop while adding 45 minutes of charge. then we were off, for the 5 hours drive home, stopping at supercharger along the way and having a good meal while charging. Made it home and prep for the next trip. Jeanne off a a girlfriend trip, and me at home getting house and me ready for winter.
