Does that mean you are on Frye Island?
I was talking about Lake Winnipesaukee where we don't have any ferries. I suppose that qualifies as an islander, in some circles. However to be a true Islander, Winnipesaukee style, you can't drive to your place.
The residents of Newport RI, and Long Island NY can disagree all they want, but they are NOT islanders. Cape Cod is also an island, by the "geographic" definition. Just let someone from Hyannis go over to Nantucket and tell people they are an islander! I don't think so!
I'm not talking about geography here, I'm talking about anthropology, socialization, living conditions and state of mind.
