Growing old is a fantastic experience, full of the wonder of watching one’s skin turn from the supple surface of a Parisian handbag to the texture of burnt newspaper.

Since the majority of us will not be attending Lady Gaga’s hot tub christening party, I would like to suggest a consolation activity.

The switch has been flipped — spring is off, summer is on. Time to hide on Chappy. I’d like to talk about the weather now, as it’s a great space filler, and it appears that there’s a storm a-brewing.

If you think that Comcast for Chappy is a done deal, don’t. If we don’t pull together on this as a community we will miss our chance to get the infrastructure we need to take full advantage of what technology has to offer.

Located at 1 North Neck Road on Chappaquiddick, this landmark 5.2 acre property on the tip of John Oliver Point is akin to living on your own private island.
The stunning architect-designed post & beam four bedroom house and two bedroom guest house enjoy 360-degree water views to Cape Pogue, downtown Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Nantucket, and Cape Cod, with a long stretch of white-sand beach. 
$7,900,000

We have received sad news from Florida that Dan Purdy has passed away. That we first heard it from the rod and reel fishermen is very fitting. Dan will be greatly missed. We look forward to Sherry's return to Chappy.

Chappy is a small island with a relatively large personality. There doesn’t exist much ambivalence toward our (sometimes wayward) appendage: one either would “never live there” or would “love to find a small lot.”

The Slipaway Farm welcome back party and pig roast was a huge success. Attendees feasted on pulled pork by Local Smoke and frittatas made with farm eggs and vegetables straight from the Slipaway fields.

Spring on Chappy means new beginnings — beach plums and shad bloom their weddingish flowers. Previously unseen and unheard creatures appear as if someone was having an art opening with free food.
