Escape to Solitude
Discovering McLeod's Island
Ever dreamt of escaping from it all? Back in March/April 1978, Mother Earth News highlighted an adventurous couple who turned this dream into reality by purchasing McLeod's Island, a serene 90-acre retreat off Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Living Off the Land
The couple embraced a self-sustaining lifestyle, relying on the island for most of their needs. Life there wasn’t without its challenges:
> "The sea isn't called 'restless' for nothing. A glass-smooth bay can quickly transform into a tempest of currents and waves. We've witnessed the bay around our island thaw and refreeze within hours on a single December day."
Winters were unpredictable. During the 1976 cold season, constant thaws filled the bay with slushy ice?"too thick for boats and too fragile for foxes. Marooned for three months, their connection to the mainland was cut off. The following winter's deep freeze, however, turned the bay into a solid ice path, allowing them to fetch mail and supplies on foot.
Modern Connectivity
Today, the internet offers the freedom to work from almost anywhere?"a luxury this couple didn’t have. Current information about them is elusive. Perhaps the tides of time carried them elsewhere.
A Personal Reflection
While the idea of island life is tempting, it’s not for everyone. Life involves sacrifices, and each comes with its unique costs. Personally, I don’t foresee buying an island in my future.
