So off grid, they're even off land!
Married artists Wayne Adams and Catherine King began building their floating home off Vancouver Island 25 years ago
The compound is always transforming; the couple add structures and repair damage from storms, which can be quite severe
Freedom Cove runs on solar energy and generators and a fresh water system Wayne constructed
The couple make trips to land every two weeks and joke about feeling 'landsick' when they leave their beloved floating paradise
The compound includes gardens, a dance floor, a garage for boats, living and artistic space
Wayne and Catherine operate an open-door policy and invite curious tourists into their home, showing them around Freedom Cove and giving them homemade candles as parting gifts
They say their lifestyle has been a 'learn by doing' experience - teaching them, for example, to anchor Freedom Cove with weighted ropes during storms
Much of their daily routine focuses on maintenance and the couple say they were aware of hardships and risks, but they would not want to live any other way
