There’s something truly special about being part of a community. You get to talk with people, learn their names, their faces, little snippets about their lives. You make friends. You learn how much of a difference you can really make. Along with being the fastest ferry to get to Block Island from the mainland through Hi-Speed Ferries like Athena and Islander, each of our beloved ships acts as the lifeblood for all of Block Island.
The setting is one of the most important parts of any story. It explains how certain characters became the people we know, while others act in the way that they do. There’s an inherent history in a setting. A layer of stories on top of stories creating an intricate web of detail and personality that allow us to really latch onto a narrative. To feel as incredibly invested as we so often find ourselves in the midst of a grand tale.
Every one of our ferries has a personality all their own. Their looks are unique. The way you feel when you step aboard one is different whether it’s the Carol Jean, Athena, or the topic of today’s blog post, the Anna C. That doesn’t mean things can’t change, though. Sometimes a shift is necessary. The old makes way for the new. In the case of the Anna C., that change comes in the form of some well-deserved renovations.
