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

Written by

Inside Passage 2025

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

Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at growthnavigationpath extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at directionenergizesaction kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at ideasneedexecutionnow reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at buildsmartmotion extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at ideaprogression maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at progresswithdirectionalforce also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at momentumworkflow kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after actionshapessuccess those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.

Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at progressengine kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at actioncreatestraction continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.
