Boat travel would be needed. There are places that reach into you before you can name what you feel where the salt air and the ocean do the speaking. Privateer Island is such a place. Privateer Island rises quietly from the sheltered waters of Dover Harbour, cradled within one of the most storied stretches of the Nova Scotia coastline.

Its eleven parcels of land have been left to the herons and the fog and the tides. (id:27476)
