What is it like to live on an island without a bridge? For some, the commute over Narragansett Bay by ferry is a daily reunion with island neighbors. For others of us, piloting a small boat challenges our skills and surprises us with unexpected adventure.

Separation from daily life on the mainland breeds a unique culture. Here on Prudence Island we have our own lingo and our island ways. Our language is sprinkled with references to wind direction, temperature, tides and time.

We savor night walks on the beach, a run on a dirt road, and stopping to talk to a turtle. Kids and adults build relationships, unique friendships that leap barriers that ordinarily separate us from those who might become our friends.

Home at Last emanates from Prudence Island an island without a bridge the place where we live.
