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.

Carrie Caldwell, a fifth grade teacher at the Tisbury School, has moved around the Island 10 times in the last six months. Her next move will be her last, after she won a lottery for land on Chappaquiddick.

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.

Recalling other structures on Chappy that have disappeared, I remembered the windmill at Walter Wood's house next to the Chappy Beach Club.

The Chappaquiddick Community Center website is fully updated with sign-up information for the programs planned for the 2023 season.

This is part two of the accounting of Chappy houses that have vanished.
