The Cove Ledger

Field notes from Halibut Cove, the bay it sits in and the boats that reach it

Getting there

The ferry from the Homer harbor, the water taxis that run to the docks, the float planes, the state park trailheads and the anchorages that decide how a visitor arrives.

A small passenger ferry crossing Kachemak Bay in flat morning light, Gull Island low on the water behind it, seabirds in the air, the Kenai Mountains pale on the horizon, shot from a dock at the Homer harbor.
