We found the Military Resort in Seward, and they had room for us and our friends along with their trailer. Way way better then in the over flow parking lot.
Sunday we woke up at Oh Dark thirty.....5:00am to be at the dock for 6:00 ish, we woke up to a rainy day with 90% chance of rain all day.....=( we had talked to our captain and he advised us to get rain gear....which we did....at the Fish House....they got alot of money from us this weekend.
So we meet up with our captain, his daughter and her fiance. It was raining on and off on our way out to our first fishing area. The sea was a rolling, which didn't go over that great for the girls side of the boat, a 26 ft boat with two 115hp motors....this is a girls prospective of the boat...I will post a picture so you can figure it out....=)
So we had, I will say Mom of friend, F Friend and I on one side and the Capt's Daughter at the back, to help us with our fish then the guys side of the boat, Brother of friend, DH and M friend.....(names with held because I'm trying not to add names to this blog....but it's really hard some times....and maybe I should just add them to make it easier) Any how. oh ya and Fiance at the front of the boat.
So F friend got sick and i did as well....the boat was rolling in the sea waves, we had fish on like you wouldn't believe...lots of fun. I'm not going to get into it, but everyone on the boat got sick, except for the Captain and Daughter, and the Brother made it 95% of the trip before he started. It wasn't an all day sickness, but F friend did alot of sleeping. Waves were 8ft at some parts, and wind was blowing, rain held off for the most part and it was a really fun day. Total catch was 18 salmon, 3 rock fish, 1 cod and 1 little halibut.
After we arrived back at the harbor, our fishing crew, hung our fish so we could get pictures with it, then cleaned and fileted our fish for us....New to Fishing people. I can say I'm not a boater, but felt better knowing the fiance got sick and was down for some of the fishing trip.
We got back to the resort and they had a sweet set up....we bought bags and they had a sealer for people staying there to use....it was great. Also they have a big freezer you can put your fish into and pick up before you head home....=)
We may need to go on a Halibut fishing trip in Homer.....but I might not make that trip, my DH and DS may have to go for that one.....=) but we will see...=)

Well we were going to go camping with friends this weekend but with rain in the forecast and us in a tent...we are going to pass. Blueberry festive is happening....but that's okay...=)
