UPDATE: Received word from the Seldovia City office (thanks to Jen Giles) that the Kennicott is now approximately 12 hours behind schedule due to high winds and hazardous seas.
Please take note of the following changes to the upcoming arrival and departure times for Seldovia. I have posted the departure and arrival times for Homer as well for your convenience. The scheduled sailing for Monday, October 7th has been pushed back to TUESDAY, October 8th arriving at 1:45 AM and departing at 3:00 AM.
The hope is that the Kennicott will be back on her regular schedule by the Saturday, October 12th sailing as follows.
Please take note, and be sure to contact the city office or AMHS main office to confirm your sailing date and reservations. Obviously, we will be hoping to see the Tusty back in Seldovia as showing on this AMHS calendar below!

Seldovia Bay Ferry Continues Service Into October
by Ian McGaughey
The Seldovia Bay Ferry is continuing operations, providing round trips between Seldovia and Homer twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
“As long as there are passengers to support it and weather to accommodate the service, the Seldovia Bay Ferry will continue to run,” Seldovia Village Tribe President and CEO Crystal Collier said. “The loss of the Tustumena has had a significant impact on Seldovia. We’re pleased to offer this extended schedule as a service to our community.”
Operating Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Seldovia Bay Ferry’s Kachemak Voyager departs Seldovia for the 45-minute trip at 9:00am and 4:30pm, and departs Homer (Ramp 7) at 11:00am and 6:30pm. Passengers are asked to arrive 30 minutes before departure, more if transporting freight.
Tickets can be purchased right on the vessel—reservations are not required. One-way tickets are $33 per person, plus taxes. For more information, please visitseldoviabayferry.com or call (907) 435-3299.

Wwoofers,Who Are They?

“Wwoofer” Chuanji Chen
Last summer, our youngest daughter, Dakota, signed me up as a host with WWOOF USA, World wide opportunities on organic farms, wwoofusa.org. When Dakota graduated from Cornell she decided to ride her bike across America, so she drug her bike across the sand, dipped her foot into the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island and began her journey to the Pacific Ocean. She found her lodgings at the WWOOF site, emailing ahead to see if they could use some help, trading a days labor for room and board. She fell in love with growing and had many amazing experiences along the way.

This summer we have hosted eleven wwoofers from France, Homer, Isle of Man, Connecticut, Continue Reading
