Friday 25th Saturday 26th of July: Mikko is leaving for Finland, Erling and Karianne paddles on to Juneau Sunday

Written by

Inside Passage 2025

We had just a short paddle planned back to Glacier Bay Ranger station, at Bartlett Cove. Our eight day permit to explore Glacier Bay was up. And we need to arrange for the pick up of Mikko’s boat before he heads back from Gustavus on Monday.

Mikko getting ready to drop off his kayak. After three weeks on the back deck the kayak trolley still works

There were whales, not quite as many as yesterday, but still five to six within the four by five km bay in front of us.

On our way back we saw a black bear at the shore of the island nearest Bartlett Cove. The closer we get to people the more bears we see.

The agitated sea lions from last Friday was still there and no happier to see us than last time.

And the apparently “happy go lucky” sea otters didn’t care today either.

Shit in foreground. Karianne’s tent in background

We got the tents up. We chose the site with the freshest bear shit, it seems they shit a different place every night, so this site is hopefully “spoken for” -or shall we say “shat for”- for the two nights we stay here.

Sunday Karianne and Erling paddle on to Juneau.

That means four days without coverage. Except satellite.

Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at focusandexecute kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at nexustower also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at forwardthinkingcore reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at actiondrive continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at focusunlockspotential reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to claritysimplifiesprogress only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.

My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at directionbeforeforce confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at visiontoexecution continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.

Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at actionledgrowth kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
