SGang Gwaay IV
Looking from the back of the Haida Chief Xoyas’ house at SGang Gwaay.
The leaning beam on the left is a rear gable beam that points into the house depression which has the main roof beams fallen across it, and poles standing in front.
Through the gap is Kunghit Island.
I was visiting while on a tour of Gwaii Haanas aboard the Passing Cloud.
If you want to know more about SGang Gwaay I have written about it in several posts (link) from previous visits.

White Sided
While sailing between Burnaby and Kunghit Islands aboard the schooner Passing Cloud we were visited by White-Sided Dolphins.
They came to play in our wake, much to our enjoyment.

Blood Fort
This small island is located a bit south of Windy Bay on Lyell Island.
The Passing Cloud anchored here while we visited the Watchmen.
The Haida name for this location translates as Blood Fort, and oral history attests to why it is so named.
Gordon Cove III
An afternoon view out from the inner part of Gordon Cove towards Passing Cloud while at anchor in the main basin.
We were between tours, working on the boat to get ready for new passengers.
In a quiet moment I went ashore because I was sure there would be an early Holocene archaeological site visible on at least one of the beaches, and was proven right.
Here you can see my ride is coming to pick me up.
