Sam’s View
Today me and mommy went to do a tour the shows stuff that
lives under the dock. We saw crabs, anemones, mussels, starfish, shrimp,
salmon, and even a harbor seal about 15 feet away! He was eating a fish. It was
amazing. After that we went to an ocean institute and saw lots of stuff it
showed how much the tide could change. It can change 26 feet! It was awesome
too.
Summer’s View
Sam and I took a guided tour of the boat docks at the Homer
Spit, sponsored by the Institute of Alaskan Coastal Studies. Our tour guide,
Ashley, was very knowledgeable about the sea creatures that live in the waters
in Homer. Like Sam said, we saw several dock dwelling creatures, but the
highlight of the tour was when a harbor seal decided to eat his fish catch just
a few feet away while we watched, fascinated! I had forgotten my camera, but I
took some pics with my phone – they aren’t the best but you can see that he was
very close! Sam said he was eating was a burbot. He was so cool!
After a lunch at McDonald’s (the first one in a long time!) we headed over to the Visitor Center to see their displays and read some interesting info about the area. It was a really nice place with cool displays.
