Type one: Commuter
If you're a commuting Islander you need to think of stress relief time as starting when you get on the boat. The ride to the island can be a fun part of the day. We often stop to visit friends, if we see boats at the docks, on the way to camp. A Friday afternoon drink and hors d'oeuvres at the marina, or dinner at the Lyons Den means we're there. No lines, no waiting.

Type two: Island resident
You stay at camp from May-October(or two weeks) No commute, little use of a car. And a boat ride to get groceries or whatever is part of the day's pleasure, not just transportation.

You have to like boating for its own pleasure, not just as transportation, or to pull others on toys.
