30"x20" map printed on premium satin photo paper
Haida Gwaii is a land of beautiful bays, big trees, and Type 2 fun (at least for people on the water; Type 1 Fun is enjoyable while it’s happening; Type 2 Fun tends more towards miserable while it’s happening, but fun in retrospect). The west coast is rugged, poorly charted, and the anchorages are tucked in only 25 miles from the deep dark depths of the continental slope. The east coast is some of the shallowest water you'll find in BC and the speed that the sea state changes will blow your mind and test your resilience. The place is inextricably tied to the people of the Haida Nation, but that's not my story to tell. I will say that everything between the three corners of Cape St. James, Langara Island, and Rose Spit is worth seeing.
The map includes features that matter to a waterperson like the key lightstations and those places where character is built like Skidegate Bar and Hecate Strait. You can see the likeliest spots to stage for crossing to the archipelago. The compass rose is based off a marine chart. The scale is in nautical miles.
