The forecast was again good and the wind was down a bit, so we determined to attempt S'Gaang Gwaii once again. First though, we needed to top up with fresh water and there is a water buoy, again installed and maintained by commercial fishermen, up the inlet from our anchorage. The anchor was aweigh by 07:45 and we motored up to the water buoy on the west shore of the inlet, where we tied up at 10:45 (52-11.66'N, 131-15.42'W); we took on about 100 L of water and were away from the buoy by 12:20. We were anchored in the bay on the NW side of Anthony Island by 14:15 (52-06.19'N, 131-13.68'W) and were immediately granted permission to come ashore. The watchmen gave us a brief introduction and the left us to tour the island and, particularly, the long-abandoned village. Remnants of the many totem poles that once adorned the island were very much in evidence, although 100 plus years of exposure to the harsh PacNW weather had taken their toll. Since we could not spend the night at Anthony Island, we pulled the anchor at 17:15 and headed back north up Houston Stewart Channel to the north end of Rose Inlet, where we anchored for the night at the head of the inlet.
