Back to the Island: Our Home, Our Way of Living

There’s a certain rhythm to life out here on Woody Island — a rhythm you can’t quite find anywhere else. It’s in the sound of the waves splashing against the wharf, the call of the gulls over the cove, and the first turn of the soil come spring. Out here, we live by the tides, the weather, and the work of our own hands.

“Our home, our way of living — one turn of the soil.”
That’s what this place is all about. It’s not fancy, but it’s real. Whether it’s tending the garden, hauling wood, baking bread, or steaming out in the boat for a feed of fish, every bit of it connects us back to something simple and true.

Through Back to the Island, I want to share that way of life — the solar panels that keep the lights on, the soil that grows our food, and the sea that still feeds us today. It’s part story, part history, and part daily life from a small outport community that refuses to be forgotten.

So come along for the ride — through the seasons, through the stories, and through the salt and soil of island living. Because out here, every sunrise brings a new reason to be thankful for this place we call home.
