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

Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at strategyfocus only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at progresswithcontrol 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.

Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at growthfindsclarity only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at clarityfuel only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at actionplanner reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at ideasgainmotion reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at focusandexecute extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at directionbeforeforce continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at visiontoexecution produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at actionledgrowth reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
