I graduated from High School in Homer in '86, worked a couple of summers in the harbor after graduation and with the exception of a weekend in the 90s and another weekend in 2003, I haven't been back. I miss it. Thanks for this video. I used to clean the fish cleaning stations in the harbor (one of my duties as a "harbor assistant" which was my job title for the two summers I worked there)...kind of fun to get the memories back watching this. There are obviously changes since I lived and worked in Homer in the 1980s ('81-'86 which were my 8th-12th grades and then the summer of '87 too) but the great views and the spit boardwalk and the Salty Dawg all look the same! I live in Virginia now and have seen much of the world since my Homer days but that town stays in my heart. It was a magnificent place to spend some key formative years of my life.

When I was a kid growing up in Anchorage, 1953 to 1966, I remember thinking that having a house on the cliffs above Kachemak Bay would be the most beautiful place in the world to settle down and not go anywhere else. I got to know an old miner who lived on the cliffs, Bruno Agostino. He lived and died alone in a one room cabin and gave his property to the Catholic Church when he passed away. I've never been back to Homer since the 60's and now it's probably too late unless my health takes a new turn, but thinking about it is fun thanks to the internet.

This is a great video, very informative. And I like your style! Thanks for sharing. We're heading up that way this year 🙂

This reminds me of the old national videos , thankyou

I just had a 10 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula the same week you were in Homer for this, that first week of solidly beautiful weather mid July. It was an unforgettable experience.

This is awesome episode...i do love it 💯👌🏻🇸🇦💐

Great video. Thx. What a beautiful place.

The last time I went to Homer was during "the virus of unknown origin:":. Restaurants couldn't get enough workers to stay open for a full schedule, and many were closed completely. The grocery store looked like it had been hit by a swarm of locusts, so I spend the three days living on cheese, crackers and smoked sausage, and one seafood meal on the Spit. I guess it was kind of my own fault. I didn't check before I went.

Well done!

We were there in late July ‘23 and I really liked the Spit! 🤷‍♀️

What a wonderful town

❤🇺🇸

How rainy weather is there?

U have no idea...The Homer Spit is a wonderful place!!!!!

Nice area. Is it a liberal stronghold ?

This video reminds me of a public televison production out of Seattle or Portland. Boomer hippies. They seem nice enough but once you get to know them for longer than ten minutes, they disapprove of just about everything you do. Maybe this is where the perfect Karens of the world go to be among their own kind.

This video would have much more balance if it showed you getting blacked out drunk in the salty dog and starting trouble with the locals

If you find so many things not to like about my home then you don't belong here... move out, move on and don't bother coming back.
