Brother Duncan aboard the Mulligan - Haystack Beach off the stern
We had two new visitors come to town recently. My brother Duncan and Alicia, his brand new fiance (!) made the trip up from Colorado. While the sun was behind the clouds for most of their visit, they made the most of the adventure. After camping for a night in Denali together, they joined Meghan and I for a two night stay at a yurt in Kachemak Bay State Park. The yurt is across the Bay from Homer and we all hopped aboard a water taxi for a short cruise to the secluded beachside yurt. Seals, puffins, and thick-billed murres scattered in our wake as we sped through the thick fog to our weekend getaway. Once at the yurt we felt quite secluded. Although a curious black bear soon let us know that we were not alone. We cooked meals on the beach, played a few games and generally whooped it up together. We hope the young couple joins us again soon for another AK adventure.

Another great photo op.
