Edgartown Seafood will begin delivering fish to Chappy Point beginning Friday, June 21. Call 508-627-3791. Check out their website for a rundown of all of their offerings.

The Falmouth to Edgartown ferry will begin daily service on Friday, June 21. The last boat leaves Falmouth at 6:30 p.m. on Fridays. The last boat leaving Edgartown Sundays is at 6:15 p.m. The first boat leaving Edgartown Monday mornings is at 9:45 a.m. It’s smart to always get a reservation and get down to the ferry point in plenty of time to get over to Memorial Wharf.

Chappy’s own Edwina Risland will be showing her photography at the Old Sculpin Gallery from June 22 to 28. The opening is this Sunday, June 23 from 5 to 7 p.m.  Her exhibit will include images of boat hulls and horseshoe crabs.

The Chappy Point to Point foot race will be run on Sunday June 30. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. from Wasque and proceeds along the main road for up to two hours. Best to avoid that route or that couple of hours Sunday morning. The race is not only a great community activity but is also a fund raiser for endeavors that benefit Chappy citizens. This year, the proceeds will be used to fund Chappy Connect, a transportation service for aging Chappy residents.

Just as the ferries to the mainland sometimes experience crew shortages, so too does the Chappy Ferry. If you or someone you know has a 50 ton or larger Coast Guard license, contact Peter Wells by text at 508-627-1577. Extra part time ferry captains are always needed to fill in occasionally.
