National Geographic Sea Bird had a wonderfully smooth ride across the Hecate Strait. A glowing sunrise greeted guests in Queen Charlotte City, and after a early breakfast, we boarded busses and traveled to Old Massett, a Haida community on the northern coast of Graham Island, Haida Gwaii. Guests visited the eclectic studio of legendary Haida artist Jim Hart and were then treated to a tour of Christian White’s carving shed followed by the gift of a traditional mid-day meal and Haida dances at Mr. White’s longhouse.
