Island Living Questions

What great threads, and as always an amazing forum. I looked out at Diamond and Rattlesnake from the family property in West Alton, and as a kid it felt like reaching out to the stars. We always watched the lights on Diamond the slight generator ebb, and pulse. Of course we had the versatility of good old Route 11, and The Wise Owl, living on the mainland. Two summers at Camp Idlewild made a believer out of me though, I loved that rustic element of island living even though it was during the late 60's. Now that I no longer have the "chores" of opening / closing the family cottage in West Alton, and checking on it in the winter months the lure to get away from Boston, and back to paradise seems to be my only retirement goal! Someday....maybe.
