These islands are only 7 miles off Plymouth and straddle the border between New Hampshire and Maine. We spent the night in a harbour bordered by Star Island, complete with Religious Retreat; Smuttynose Island; Cedar Island, described in the pilot guide as good for the relief of marine pets..... and Appledore, with a research station of Cornell University, specializing in bees.
Just after we picked up a mooring buoy, the fog descended again and remained throughout the night. The whole place is rather bleak, bizarrely reminiscent of the Falklands!
Bioluminescence here - very twinkly!
