Fathers Day in Seldovia, Alaska


If you would like to see a little piece of Alaska that is very special you must visit Seldovia, Alaska. Leaving from Homer Boat Harbor on the Seldovia Tribes Fast Ferry (which reaches speed of up to 40 mph.) It only takes about 45 minutes to get to Seldovia.
As you walk down the wooden docks and up the ramp to the town the first thing you will come to is the Sea Parrot in which is a wonderful place to stay as well as eat while visiting. The Sea Parrot is also a local Seldovian meeting spot, at sometime or other during the day many residents stop by if only to catch up on the news of the day. My husband and I were lucky enough to be there when a group of colorful characters had stopped in for a cup of coffee and a chat. Soon my husband and I were laughing so hard that our faces hurt. Everything from fishing stories to bear stories and each one more entertaining than the last.

That evening we went on a little ride about and saw a mother black bear and her young cub, what a cool thing to see a wild baby! They were beautiful.
