In between salmon runs

Not much going on.  The Sockeye Salmon run had over 1.5 million fish go up the Kenai River but now has dropped to a dribble. The Coho Salmon have not shown up yet.

Last night we tried a new local restaurant our RV neighbors were raving about.  They had tried the steaks but we thought we would stay with our "healthy" trend and go with the seafood.  Big mistake!

Abby had the deep fried Pacific Cod and I had the grilled Ling Cod.  We never knew fish could be "tough" to eat!

We should have known when we walked in the joint.  It is located in an old, grounded fishing boat and has a total of 4 tables.  The indoor/outdoor dinning room shares space with a commercial freezer loaded with fish.  Don't think they will make it.

Tuesday we will move to Seward where we will be staying at the Seward Military Resort.  It is close to downtown and is available to active duty and retired military personnel.  It has a hotel and restaurant along with a RV camp.  We will be spending 6 nights there unless the fishing demands us to stay longer.  Won't take much demand!

The Seward Coho Salmon Derby will be going on while we are there.  There are over $100,000 in prizes.

Seward is a neat and patriotic town.  In May they offer military personnel heavily discounted lodging and fishing charters.  They have a special "combat fishing" tournament the last week of May.  Thanks Seward!

There is no wifi at the resort so we will be hanging out at Starbucks in the local Safeway store for our internet needs.
