Steller
While on the Passing Cloud it was common to see Steller Sea Lions but only if we ventured to the islands at the edge of Hecate Strait where they have their haulouts and rookeries.
These three were curious about our intentions and came to the edge of the kelp to check us out.
Seen at the Garcin Rocks rookery/haulout east of Benjamin Point near the south end of Moresby Island.

Tufted
Another photo taken in southern Haida Gwaii from aboard the schooner Passing Cloud.
We saw a lot of tufted puffins along the southeast shore of Kunghit Island.
There were enough of them that some came close enough for me to make a few decent shots with a 100 mm lens.
Of course, I had to crop the images quite heavily, but that is okay.

Another view from my recent voyage on the Passing Cloud, this time a quiet morning in De La Beche Inlet.

On the Water
For most of the past three weeks I have been cruising around southern Haida Gwaii aboard a beautiful wood schooner the Passing Cloud,
It was work (or perhaps “work”) and thus I was running full tilt much of the time. But it was fun work which allowed and even required frequent use of a camera. I wish I had taken a 300 mm lens with me as the wildlife was spectacular though a bit distant.
This is a black-footed albatross we saw a couple of miles west of Cape St. James, one of 13 that we counted in a short run up the west side of Kunghit Island. Many were sitting on the water surface, which explained for me, after years of wondering, how the inhabitants of the nearby 10,700 year old Kilgii Gwaay site would be able to successfully hunt them.
