Halibut Cove

We've made it to Homer, we haven't even unpacked our bags, and we're off to catch a ferry to go across Kachemak Bay to Halibut Cove.  My high school friend Christy, whose husband is from Alaska and spends her summers here, recommended we dine at The Saltry restaurant as it's one of her favorites.  I now know why. Dinner was outstanding.

Halibut Cove has fewer than 50 year round residents and maybe about 200 during the summer.  The Saltry is only open three months out of the year, but it is one of those destination restaurants that people want to dine at, so business is brisk all summer long. 

We were blessed with abundant sunshine at the cove during our time there (although I know it looks cloudy) and it was like scenes from a movie. Everywhere we looked was picturesque.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to come back while we're here; however, it will be near the top of the list when we come back to Alaska.
