Default No offense, but

No offense but, you're so busy bragging, you miss the obvious. You drove a car to your solar heated home not a boat. Only a few homes on any island face south. All the islands are subject to Shoreland Water Quality Protection laws, so we can't cut down all the trees, even if we have a southern exposure, or a lot large enough to support the open space needed. The expense of retrofitting an uninsulated camp that was built 40-50 years ago so it can be heated a few days a year when the ice is suitable for access just isn't worth it. Could we keep the boat in the water longer? Not when the marina sets a deadline in mid-October and doesn't want to launch until May 1....
