Looking to be an islander again

[Biggd]

Island life is not for everyone. You can add at least an hour to your commute every time you come up.
When my wife and I were looking for property, commute time was high on the list. We bought in Meredith because it was 1 1/2 hours door to door but sometimes in the summer that commute can be 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
If your goal is to get away from the stress of city life it can be very stressful getting there.

Just sayin!

I can see what you are saying if you need to tow your boat. We keep ours in a leased slip in Wolfeboro and then it's a 5 minute boat ride to Barndoor. Works out differently for us but I hear where you are coming from.

Our trip from Long Island is about 7 hours door to door. The people a few cabins down the island (Rattlesnake) drive all the way from Arizona! Neighbors used to come up from Atlanta. Island life is so unique it's worth the little bit extra time. It's like when you go to Disney in Orlando and you take the boat across the lake to the Magic Kingdom - you enter another world! The stress just falls away as you pull out of your slip and head out towards the island that awaits.

...but then I'm a little biased
