I love the solitude, the quiet, the noise, the peace, the seasons, and being around others who feel the same way.

That all sounds fantastic and I'm sure it's all that you say it is. My concern is the extra big bucks it costs to have daily chores done on an island. (new furniture del., septic pumped, new carpet/tile laid a bottle of milk and/or coffee because someone forgot to bring it) The problem of looking for a way to get to your place off season when needed. When I come to my home I don't want to feel that I have to be at a neighbors to play cards or or anything else as it is what we always do. I come to do my own thing which includes solitude, very little noise and peace. There hasn't been one thing mentioned that some of us have on the main land such as mountains to climb within a 5 minute walk, state and private snowmobile trails within 4 minute ride from the yard, excellent walking area and no problem with unleashed pets and oh ya woods in my back yard to walk through. I guess what I'm trying to say is, both life styles are great and if you are in for some small inconviences then seasonal island living is fantastic.
