With Friends - Prudence Island

Back at the Sunset Cafe

We got a good start this morning and made it to Bristol in good time to have a leisurely breakfast at the Sunset Cafe before catching the ferry. The service was great and the food fantastic and all without the rush we had the last time we were here. A short walk back to the car to get our stuff and off to the ferry. Once we got our tickets we found our way to the top deck and got a great seat right behind the pilot house. I started a sketch of the pilot house as Nana and I chatted.

A lady and her two daughters sat down next to us and struck up a conversation and we all chatted all the way to Prudence. She was very nice and we exchanges info, hope we meet up again. We were met at the ferry landing by our friends and made it to their house, which overlooks Narragansett Bay. Their daughter and husband and kids were there along with Andi's mother Hope and Andi's brother and his girlfriend were there as well. A great crowd to hang out with. After a period of chatting and catching up we struck out for a hiking trail leaving Hope behind. We drove to the North end of Prudence and walked along a well traveled remains of a roadway that had once led to the old ferry landing at the north end of the island.  All in all we walked about three and a half miles. We had great conversation and I think we all had a couple of ticks on us at one point or another. I pulled seven ticks off and two more on my clothing when we got back to the house...
A great meal was prepared and we had another wonderful day on Prudence. The ride back was uneventful if a bit noisy because of some rowdy children, but kids will be kids.
