Although Homer is a wonderful coastal town, it is mainly long, exposed gravel beaches and poorly planned shoreline over-development, so kayaking tours head for the other side of the bay, which is steeper and rockier and therefore much more interesting to explore. We took a water taxi across to the bay and with guide Ben and three college guys from Indiana, we kayaked along the edge of Yukon Island and around Elephant Island. D got a boat of his own, although Ben noted that adolescent males tended to be the most likely to flip the boats. D did note later that the problem with singles is that you actually need to paddle, unlike our excursion in Bartlett Cove, where there was someone in the back seat doing most of the work.
True North Kayaks deserves credit for one of the nicest outhouses I've seen.
