On Whale Island tells the story of how he packed up three boatloads of supplies, his wife, stepson, and two dogs and moved to a remote island off the coast of Nova Scotia, fulfilling a lifelong fantasy of escaping from the confines of civilization and living by his wits. On Whale Island tells three stories. In the foreground, we see Daniel who, not unlike one of Peter Pan's Lost Boys, joyfully lives this permanent boy's life. He generates electricity from solar power, creates a toilet seat from whale vertebra, and greets every storm with enthusiasm. But while Daniel is building windmills and funneling rainwater for showers, his spirited son feels isolated and his wife longs for the life they left behind. Funny, tender, and filled with the details of an unconventional life, this is the story of how the Hays family lived on Whale Island, and how, finally, they had to leave. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Hays, Daniel,|d1960-|xHomes and haunts|zNova Scotia |zAtlantic Coast. 600 10 Hays, Daniel,|d1960-|xFamily. 650 0 Islands|zNova Scotia|zAtlantic Coast. 650 0 Country life|zNova Scotia|zAtlantic Coast. 650 0 Simplicity. 651 0 Atlantic Coast (N.S.)|vBiography. 651 0 Atlantic Coast (N.S.)|xSocial life and customs. 700 1 Altman, Bruce. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11419055?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781598874419_180.jpeg
