Isles of Shoal.

Gloucester, New Hampshire, is a 'working harbour with a lot of fishing boats, and also a seaside resort with tourists walking the sea- promenade. A memorial erected for fishermen from this small town lost at sea over the last two centuries contains more than three thousand
names.

The memorial of the young woman and her two little children anxiously looking out to sea is very moving.
We have just left a small group of islands, the Isles of Shoal, which were inhabited by a lot of seagulls and their young. There was also a 'conference center' which one could compare with the Iona community or Findhorn. The birdlife was amazing, though. A 'dig' was taking place on the next door island, Snuttynose Island, and the archiology students were terribly excited as they had just found a coin from the mid 19th century.
