Most of the folks that have to spend the winter away from Chappy seem to live in places where flowers and trees bloom about a month ahead of us.

Two sailboats stayed in the water in Edgartown Harbor this winter.

The Chappaquiddick cell tower construction project is well underway.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Lindsay Allison had posted a note on Facebook regarding ordering quail to release onto her property to eat ticks.

I observed the lunar eclipse last Sunday evening in the comfort of a hot tub.

Lindsay Patterson Allison posted a note on Facebook that she had just ordered quail for delivery this coming July.

On New Year’s Eve, next Monday night, Chappy ferry captain Becca LaMarche is willing to stick around after midnight in case you want to stay at a party to welcome in the new year.

The annual ferry captain and crew appreciation potluck supper last Wednesday was a great success.
