On Tuesday, I drove to Pope's Island in the middle of New Bedford harbor to retrieve the spare engine for the Chappy Ferry.

The Chappy golf course, formally known as the Royal and Ancient Chappaquiddick Links, will be the scene of the hallowed Championship Tournament on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Years ago, Richard Sears had a big bouquet of roses delivered to the Chappy Ferry every week as a year-long birthday gift to his wife.

At the very top of your list of things to do — and which will only take a half hour — should be a visit to Mytoi Garden.

In years past I have been able to get away every spring. I had determined from experience that two weeks away would help me to withstand the two hectic months of summer on the Chappy Ferry.

The next Chappy Ferry steering committee meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 27 at 5 p.m.

Bob and Marvene O'Rourke are again osprey spotting for ornithologist Rob Bierregaard, who has been tracking and recording an Island census of the raptors for 25 years.

One of the options that the Chappy Ferry steering committee has come up with to address the issue of the length of time that people have to wait in line with their vehicles is a bridge.

The time has come for the establishment of two separate vehicle waiting lines for the Chappy Ferry.

One of my duties in the Chappy fire department years ago was to speak at the Chappaquiddick Island Association meetings about the need to cut back the vegetation along driveways so that the firefighters could get to a house fire without knocking equipment off the sides of the trucks.
