Escape to Solitude
Summary
Ever felt the urge to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Back in March/April 1978, Mother Earth News shared the fascinating journey of a couple who did just that by purchasing McLeod's Island, a 90-acre paradise off the coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada.Article
At some point, who hasn’t wanted to leave it all behind? In the March/April 1978 issue of Mother Earth News, a captivating story was published about a couple who embraced this dream by buying McLeod's Island, located off Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.Living on the island, they kept a few animals and relied mostly on the land, significantly reducing their grocery bills. However, island life came with its own challenges:
> "The sea, as we have come to understand, earns its reputation as 'restless' quite honestly. A bay that seems glass-smooth can suddenly transform into a chaotic mix of currents and waves. We've witnessed our bay thaw and completely refreeze in mere hours on a single December day.
> Winters here can vary drastically. In 1976, continuous spring-like thaws left our bay filled with slush too thick to navigate by boat, yet too fragile even for a fox to cross. We were stranded for three months that year. Conversely, last winter's record cold snap solidified the bay, allowing us to walk to the mainland for mail and supplies any time."
Today, the Internet offers many the freedom to work from almost anywhere, but this couple lacked such a luxury. Unfortunately, there’s no current information about them, leaving us to wonder if they were eventually swept away by the tides.
Life demands sacrifices, some more significant than others. For me, buying an island isn’t likely. But their story remains a fascinating glimpse into a truly off-the-grid lifestyle.
