    Couple Lives Off The Grid After Spending 20-Years Building Self-Sustaining Floating Island

    Very cool. Lots of photos at link.

    Living off of the grid doesn’t have to include sacrificing the good life, just take a look at Wayne Adams, 66, and Catherine King, 59. This awesome Canadian couple spent 20 years creating a floating masterpiece located off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

    Construction of the self-sustaining floating island paradise began in 1991. Since its completion the couple has enjoyed the good life on a completely different level. They call their home “Freedom Cove,” and enjoy all kinds of cool amenities like an art gallery, dance floor, guest lighthouse, 5 greenhouses and a studio where the couple lives.

    The couple does not have a fridge or freezer but they still eat very well. With so many greenhouses and half an acre of land to grow crops the couple is able to grow and fish for all of their food. In the summer they get their water from a waterfall in the area, and in the winter they collect rainwater.

    The vibrantly colored turquoise and magenta buildings stand out amongst the lush green foliage and blue pristine waters. While Freedom Cove has everything anyone could ever want it is completely off the grid, as well as off the land!

    HEY!!!!

    How dare they try to live differently then the rest of the herd. I find freedom and independence offensive and audacious. These smug bastards are just askin' for a good ole swatin.

    Maybe there are some old Mk-14 torpedoes the local warrior wannabees can get through the 1033 program. I don't think the Glorious Leader took those off the list this week.

I want to know who the men in the shadows are. I want to hear somebody asking them why. They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are but theyre never the ones to fight or to die." - Jackson Browne Lives In The Balance
