Broadsiders???

I'm looking for opinions on living broadside (or north-east side), on Winni islands.

1. How many days a season do you fine yourself stuck on the island (or on the shore)?

2. How often do you find yourself freezing and wishing you lived someplace where the sun might shine for more than a couple hours a day?

3. Do you dare leave your nice boat unattended on the island during a storm (even with a breakwater)? Do you have mainland slips for your "nice" boat and your "work" boat?

4. How do you protect your dock in the winter?

Plus any other big pluses (I know... big view, lower cost) or minuses you might think of...

Me, I'm enthralled by the views and the raw nature of it all, but it's easy when you only visit on nice days.
