K’uuna Llnagaay
Another village that we visited while touring on the Passing Cloud was K’uuna Llnagaay, also known as Skedans.
K’uuna is located on the east coast of Louise Island (here), just north of Gwaii Haanas.
By sea, this is 130 km north of SGang Gwaay Llnagaay, the subject of yesterday’s post.
The fluting on this mortuary pole looks as if it was inspired by classical European architecture, perhaps seen on early buildings in Victoria, or in printed illustrations.
It is one of five locations in southern Haida Gwaii where Haida watchmen live in the summer and serving as stewards and guides.
It is on an exposed shoreline and often a difficult landing, but we did manage on one of the two tours I was on.

SGang Gwaay
A highlight of my trip on the Passing Cloud was two visits to this UNESCO World Heritage Site called SGang Gwaay located on the south west side of Gwaii Haanas.
If you want to know more about SGang Gwaay I have written about it in several posts (link) from previous visits.

Houston Stewart Channel II
Another view from the Passing Cloud while at anchor in Houston Stewart Channel looking the opposite direction from yesterday’s photo.
This view was taken when the low morning sun was just breaking through the mist.

Houston Stewart Channel
The final anchorage of my trip aboard Passing Cloud was near the east end of Houston Stewart Channel near Rose Harbour.
This is the morning view while waiting for the float plane to pick us up.

Risso’s II
Another photograph of Risso’s dolphins seen from the Passing Cloud in Louscoone Inlet.
See my earlier post Risso’s for another photo of these guys.
You can get some idea of the large numbers travelling together from the marks in the water from at least four other dolphins that have just submerged.

Maintenance
Sail maintenance on the Passing Cloud, one of many tasks attended to by crew between the tours.
While this was finishing up, I took a walk on the nearby beaches and found a previously unrecorded archaeological site that is 10,700 years old.

De La Beche II
This was shot the evening before my earlier post De La Beche, looking toward the sunset.
The Passing Cloud was anchored in De La Beche Inlet.
