Maxum, Congratulations on your new home. I remember the first weekend on Rattlesnake in 2000. The water prime failed, the roof leaked.... And we were just happy to be here.

You will learn all about island survival. It is easy to forget life's stresses because the is wood to be gathered (walks in the woods), and split (exercise), swim rafts to blow up, (then lay on)... And of course the best of all...forgetting something and having to go for a jetski ride to the store!!!!

Oh... And for those naysayers who say..." but you have to use a boat to get there" and you reply "Yes, yes, yes!"

Other joys include, working from home on Fridays and going jetskiing during lunch, dinner on the porch with a view better than any restaurant, letting the cat and dog play outside, and the never ending borrowing and lending with good neighbors who often save the day.

Good luck on your new adventure.... No matter what... You are making memories!
