Freedom Cove
« on: August 09, 2016, 12:11:51 PM »
Couple builds and lives on their own off-grid floating island.

"The construction of Freedom Cove began in 1991, from trees felled by last winter’s storms.

Towed into the current position in 1992, it contains art gallery, a dance floor, and 5 greenhouses. The couple lives in their own studio."
