When I was a kid, the Chappy ferry ramps were made of a dozen thick wooden planks bolted to a couple of cross pieces that formed the shape of a bold letter H.
If you were wondering about the high tide that flooded the approaches to the Chappy ferry a couple of Saturdays ago for no obvious reason you are not alone.
Chappy has felt a bit busier and brighter over the past week as lights went up at a few houses and families gathered to take part in the festivities of Christmas in Edgartown.
