Description

We hear it a lot on Block Island. "Geez, I think I'd like to just live on a boat and be a bartender". Sounds like a pretty cool, easy-going lifestyle. Just ask Bill Dunleavy- he'd agree.The ever affable Bill Dunleavy first set foot on Payne's dock as a visitor to Block Island. Little did he know that dock would serve as his home for a few decades. And what a ride it's been. After a stint at Yellow Kittens Bill took the gig at Mahogany Shoals where he's been behind the stick summer after summer. His status as the oldest working bartender on Block Island is undisputed at this point. And there doesn't seem to be much that could slow Bill down.Bill divides his time between here and Sullivan's Island, South Carolina where his own establishment, "Dunleavy's Pub", does a fine business all it's own. Bill has been living the boat life for years and his love of sailing is evident. In fact he's so passionate about sailing that in his spare time he gives free sailing lessons to anyone who wants them. After this episode, you'll want to sign up too!

Rich Tretheway and Marc Scortino live on Block Island, a seven miles-long by three miles-wide rock thirteen miles off the southeastern tip of Rhode Island. Life can get...well...kind of interesting out there. The island is populated by a host of colorful and eccentric characters who coexist the best they can in extremely close quarters. When summer hits and the ferry boats roll in packed with tourists, chaos sometimes ensues. Tune in to find out how the inhabitants of Block Island deal with it...or not deal with it. *While the things we talk about on the podcast shouldn't offend too many people, some explicit language is used.
