On Tuesday the five of us went down to Homer and then across the bay to Halibut Cove. We spent some time on the spit and boat harbor during low tide. On the spit we found jelly fish, crab, and a fairly large sea star. On the posts in the harbor we spent some time looking and messing with barnacles. We would run our fingers past them and watch them shrink back. In the evening we took the boat called the "Danny J" over to Halibut Cove. While crossing Kachemak Bay we saw a harbor seal, a puffin, and a MINKE WHALE! Minke whales are the smallest baleen type whale. We saw it's fin a couple of time and then its tail as it made a dive down. The weather was beautiful for wandering the boardwalks and trails of Halibut Cove.
