Wednesday 23rd of July: Nature went back to rainforest mode

Written by

Inside Passage 2025

Over night nature went back to reinforest mode. At breakfast we discussed whether it was actually raining or we were just sitting in the middle of a cloud.

Damping wet temperate rainforest as seen from campsite at breakfast

Again the alarm went off and again there was no sign of interference nor any sound of something big retreating through the forest.

We got off to a 0915 start, wind and current was against us, but we had some ways to go and better to creep along the coastline at 3 km per hour than to wait it out in the middle of a cloud.

Shades of grey? Nope! Shades of silver they say around here

We made reasonable progress all the same and a short lunch was all the conditions invited to so we arrived at our island for the night around 1630.

Camp’s up, tarp’s up weather about to improve

As a bonus weather improved and several humpbacks were feeding just outside campsite. closer to shore two seals were patrolling -with scepticism we imagined.

Waiting for a whale to jump. Leaning back, toes up, this is what happens when you spend weeks in the company of sea otters

We are also looking north into the east branch of glacier bay, a less trafficked place.

Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at actioncreatestraction sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at clarityshift gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.

Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at focusacceleration only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at progressengineon rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at intentionalvelocity confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at artistneedle pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at strategyfocus reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at focusandexecute confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at directionbeforeforce maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at visiontoexecution continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
