Island living is different. Since you are embarking on that life style, you must know that there will be inconveniences and problems. There is also (in my opinion) an unwritten "rule" that islanders are always willing to help each other out and often become fast friends. Get to know your neighbors and don't be embarrassed to ask for help. Also, learn to judge 150 feet on the water so that you can safely obey the laws. I've observed people passing at full speed within 50 feet at full speed, happily waving at me, without a clue that they are violating the boating laws and creating a potentially dangerous situation. This happened just yesterday as I was sailing my sunfish. Welcome and enjoy!
