I could not help but feel relief and a spark of hope as we turned our sights to what lies ahead.
This past Monday was Indigenous’ Peoples Day. Let us for a moment, remember the history of Chappaquiddick, an island named for the Wampanoag word tchepi-aquidenet, meaning “separate island”.
Just a reminder, when the derby ends so does the summer schedule on the Chappy Ferry.
So, let’s say that you are one of the folks who have decided to stay on the islands this winter.
The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby began this week and runs to Saturday, Oct. 17.
When I was a kid, the Tuesday after Labor Day, you couldn’t buy an ice cream cone or a T-shirt with words on it in all of Edgartown.
Most mornings I am up early, often just as the sun begins to rise.
