Higher need? Come on...It is a priviledge to be on an island as far as I am concerned. One that many can't afford with todays property values.
You make it sound so tough to have something passed down to you. I feel bad for you.

I not sure what your problem is with island residents. Who said living on an island was tough? It's great!
What difference does it make if we chose to live here or inherited? None! I was just answering the question as to how some people got here.
As has been pointed out living on an island requires accommodations not required to mainland dwellers. And for the most part we get them. We don't get many of the town services, like schools, for our tax dollars. So it is only fair that we receive accommodations in the form of some docks, parking and a fire boat. If you think this is so unfair take it up with the towns.
The Meredith selectmen have been very good to the islands over the years. Why don't you contact them and tell them how unfair that is to other boaters.
