Today was the big day. The Endeavor was removed from the transport ship and towed to the Homer Spit for servicing. It was a long process lasting most of the day, timed for the high tide after 2 pm.
Top, picture of the Endeavor taken with my iPhone through a spotting scope.

Above you can see the Endeavor being pulled to the right of the transport ship (white). Below the Endeavor is clear from the ship. These pictures were taken from the Spit. The dogs would wait no longer for their walk.
