August 14, 2005 Tcuga Cove and Lagoon to Cadman Point Cove Day 167

The great fog persisted until afternoon, when we suddenly sailed out from under it and a sharp line of blue sky appeared where it ended. Favorable winds and a building swell dictated that we not linger any more on the wild west coast of the Queen Charlottes. We have been lucky! Around noon we anchored in a rocky and windy area and explored the island and village of SGaang Gwaii. SGaang Gwaii was a village inhabited by the Haida people for over 10,000 years! Today there are still several Haida watchmen living there who showed us around the old village site.
