Monday 21st of July: Finally we got hold of some well aged ice for our “anchor dram”

Three years old Whisky with very well aged ice

There wasn’t much water left in the ocean as we started the day at 0630, so no hurry for breakfast. We were hoping to find a passage into Blue Mouse Cove that would save us an hours paddling

As we were waiting a humpback came close by and held a jumping exhibition, an extraordinary start to the day

Mikko went first and found the passage into Blue Mouse Cove and there we were greeted by the next humpback.

Our plan for the day was to get to Reid’s Inlet. There is a glacier almost reaching the sea and we thought it would be nice with some ice for our two ceremonial toasts. First “Å så fint at vi kom hit!” Then “Ingen har det bedre enn oss”

We just moored the kayaks and let the tide do some of the carrying. Up to six meters tidal difference here

We needn’t worry, small icebergs were floating by and we chopped off a good chunk out of one really small one that we saw “capsize” just before. (You don’t want to be there when it happens)

View from camp. Complete with glacier and cruise ship

Weather was spectacular and so are the mountains.

At the end of the day a “billionaire yacht” came in and made some waves and noise, and put out some crab fishing gear.

Then all quiet as the sound of the last diesel engine of the day vanished into the bay
