On to Homer

The Seward harbor master determined that Nordwind was too nice and too expensive to take responsibility for protecting it all winter. Then, every other port we talked to said the same thing. As of yesterday afternoon we were going to make for Sitka (across the Gulf of Alaska), either leaving this morning, or waiting another week in Kodiak for more bad weather to pass. Then late yesterday we got word from Homer, that there might be a possibility for wintering over there (much closer). We are about to leave for Homer and evaluate the facilities for wintering.
