Do it.

I've been fortunate to have visited a handful of Gulf Islands this summer. Cortez, Gambier, Maine,... My girlfriend's family has one cabin on Bowen Island and one on Thormanby so we go out to those places quite a lot. Thormanby is boat access only. They've been building bits of things on their lot since the 70's. All you need is a portable saw mill and the world is your oyster.

We even managed to do some surfing around Tofino during easter break this year. Surfing in a full on rain storm is really cool. I mean really fucking cold. If you have the means what-so-ever to own a little chunk of it, then I'd say it's worth working hard for. I don't have to tell you that I'm sure. Hope it happens for you.
