Next time you go out for a drive and you have a few spare moments, I have a suggestion for something for you to see.

Here is a wonderful activity to keep Chappaquiddickers from going stir crazy this winter.

By the middle of the day last Wednesday the forecast for the storm had become so threatening that we started telling ferry travelers that we probably wouldn’t be able to run at all the next day.

ce! Ice on the freshwater ponds. Ice on the salt ponds. Ice in the harbor. Ice in the bird baths.

Sunday is New Year’s Eve. Many decades ago there was a group of lively somewhat young year-round adults on Chappy who seemed to have unlimited energy for staying up late.

On Christmas Day, the Chappy ferry will run on an abbreviated schedule during the morning.

As the end of the year approaches you may be wondering to yourself if there might be some way to simultaneously do a good deed and to get some credits on your tax return.

The ferryboat On Time 3 was relaunched mid-morning on Monday in Vineyard Haven, made the trip to Edgartown against the current and returned to service mid-afternoon.

Everyone is invited to the annual Chappy Ferry captain and crew appreciation potluck dinner on Wednesday, Dec. 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Chappy Community Center.

Remember the Holiday Pop-up at the Slip Away Farmstand on Saturday, Nov. 25, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
