Actually it was a joke, my Marin house is closer to San Rafael but I was thinking of the FAR west as in north Western Russia. I hear that a politician can see it from her home. Inverness in Scotland shares some characteristics...
I lived for most of my life in Marin after growing up in Sacramento, had a recording studio in Sausalito for decades, and lived at various times in Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley and San Rafael, while maintaining a quarter horse ranch in the Sierra Nevada,... long commute. Going back a little bit, had house west of you in Maui. The north coast is one of my favorite areas of the world. For 20 years had a home on the cliffs over the ocean 15 miles south of Mendocino. That rugged coast line is not very good for swimming but second to none for raw rugged beauty and one of the least populated regions of the state. Being either a photographer or painter just comes with residency it seems:>)
