Day 5 - 8/5 - La Caleta

On this day we left Homer for our two days in the wilderness.
We left the cabin in the morning and headed for the Small Boat Harbor where Willie (the owner of the cabin) was going to pick us up and take us to the cabin. We also managed to pick up a piece of halibut on the Spit in case the boys didn’t catch anything. Willie picked us up as agreed and took us on his open aluminum skiff to a piece of paradise that was our home for the next two days. La Caleta was the best place we have ever stayed in, very rustic and self sufficient. The electricity here was made from the stream coming down the mountain and all the cabin itself was made from drift wood that Willie himself processed. We had a wonderful time the first day just chilling and taking the kayaks to the mouth of the two rivers to watch the salmon fight their way up the stream to their breeding grounds with the bold eagle and bear intently watching. We watched the sunset at 11:30 from the deck with our glasses of wine.
