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

Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at strategyactivator kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at directionpowersresults reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.

This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked forwardlogiclab I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at focuscreatesflow kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at igniteforwardmotion extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at focusandexecute continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.

Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at momentumdesignlab continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.

Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at growthpathwaynow reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at progressoriented extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
