Day 63

I went to watch the clamming today. There was an incredibly low tide, and the world and his wife were out on the beach digging and shoveling and boring and scratching for razor clams.

Bob and Brenda, our campsite owners were as busy as beavers, filling their quota for the day, so they have some food for the winter, to go with their 5 million pounds of salmon!!

The weather here today was naff, which for our non English audience, means it sucked the big one!!

Windy and chilly and no sun to speak of, I even put the heater on in the coach.

I have to mention the new arrivals at the campsite. We have been extremely lucky so far on our travels in that we have not had any noisy people, nor any unruly kids running around.

That all changed today when a coach, smaller than ours, pulled in, with 4 adults and 4 kids, . How they all fit in a place smaller than ours I dread to think. Bob says they are only going to stay tonight, which is a good thing, coz I won’t put up with kids chasing dogs around my coach. Feed ‘em to the moosses, I say!!

The fish and chip perfection search resumed today, at the Boardwalk café I have mentioned before, down the road a bit in the little village of Ninilchik.

Not as good as before, the halibut not as moist, and I had to request vinegar, never a good omen.

I was on the beach this morning and for the first time saw 2 bald eagles sitting in close proximity, so I have included a pic for your delight.

Nothing much else happened here today.

It would be nice if we got a little feedback from our worldwide audience, letting us know if we are still keeping a modicum of interest, or if we are boring the pants of y’all!!

Wildlife watch today was the eagles, and noisy kids.
