Haida Gwaii: Tanu (T'aanuu Llnagaay)

On May 26, 2025, the Island Solitude took us from anchorage #2 to the Watchmen site Tanu (T'aanuu Linagaay), sailing eastward through protected passages.  (Click on this and any photo to enlarge.)
At Tanu, our watchman (female) gave us an overview of how the original village would have appeared.
Here is another, even more striking image of how Tanu had been.
As at Skedans, we saw the remains of plank houses.
Mosses, of course, cover everything.
I wish I remembered what she was pointing out here ...
There was also a small graveyard, no photos allowed.
 
Our marked paths took us to a fire pit and lookout.
After our visit, we had sailing to do! Retracing our steps at first, we then sailed much further south to anchorage #3.
This photo, borrowed from the next day, captures the zodiacs tagging along behind.
Another borrowed photo shows the viewing and dining area composing the top deck, with our cap'n, Jeremy, and Carly the chef, keeping an eye on our course.
The next level down was the galley and library, and below that were our cabins.
 
The lack of afternoon photos might have been due to one or more factors: travel time, weather -- Cap'n Jeremy said that we were experiencing one system after another, unusual for this time of year -- or lack of photo targets.
 
The next day generated lots of photos. Stay tuned!
