I live about 1/3 of the way up that higher mountain but on the back side of that, facing open ocean not the mainland.

MATTHEW'S ISLAND 
How beautiful! Congratulations, it’s amazing, is it too far off the coast?
What a good life you have created for yourself.
Well, there are many pros and a few major cons to living on an offshore island. But it’s home to me.
I hope you have some nice woolen toques to keep your head warm when the winter winds zip by. I lived on an island in the Narragansett Bay one winter and this Texas boy had never felt such cold.
