Great pictures. Homer is always fun.
My (now deceased) husband use to help load those super tankers. They are from Toyoko. The gas pumped from AKs wells is so pure, Japan has to mix it with some of their inferior stuff. The gas is pumped from their offshore platform to the onshore facility and cooled to a liquid for transporting. Last I heard Cococophillips was about to close their LNG plant in Nikiski as their well was about dry. (not a surprise as they pretty much know the life expectancy) I have taken a chopper out to their platform in the inlet and seen the operation firsthand. All fasinating, and very dangerous.
Glad you are enjoying the peninsula.
