Sometimes island sometimes not

Maikel and I both love this little island with its tenacious evergreens. It's between Great Spruce and Little Spruce islands, right near Roque Island, the furthest north most sailors venture. By this far north in the  Gulf of Maine, there are tides of about 12 feet, so sometimes this islet is connected to Great Spruce Island, and sometimes it's on its own. 
​I think there is a more developed version of this subject lurking in my brain, waiting for its time to emerge.
