Tuesday 22nd of July: The wild strawberries are easiest to spot when they glitter in morning sun

Written by

Inside Passage 2025

We have been very lucky with the weather in Glacier Bay and this morning was no different

A sunny start to the day helped Karianne and Erling spot the wild strawberry and get some vitamins for breakfast. (Eagle eye Suominen can probably spot them in thick fog, he plays in a different league when it comes to spotting things in nature)

We got the tarp up in camp. I we take the bother we believe it is less likely to rain

We waited a bit so we could get advantage of following current as the tide fell.

We did a small detour so that we could have a view to a glacier at our lunch break. It was a sad sight. No ice to be seen, it was all covered in rock and debris. The glaciers of Glacial Bay seem to be vanishing fast.

The paddle after lunch was a longish, hard and uneventful slog, unless you managed to take some interest in the carbonate geology of the barren cliffs we were paddling past. Hardly a whale to break the monotony. And always the sound of diesel engines.

We found a ok shielded campsite just as we were running out of steam

And there was still a bit of whisky and a bit of well aged ice left

Tomorrow before lunch will be more of the same, but then we get into the east arm of Glacier Bay, we look forwards to see how that differs (or not) from the west arm.

Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at mysticvoyage added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at clarityturnsideas added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at facthorizon extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.

Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at buildvelocitycleanly suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at growthfindsclarity extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at strategyfocus reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.

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.

Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at directionbeforeforce extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
