The Chappy Ferry. (Click the link for a video) Finn and I went to Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend because fishing the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby (in it’s 48th year) has become a fall tradition (for about the last four years). With 4:45 a.m wake ups to be ready for the sunrise blitz, I got to watch the Chappy Ferry wake up with the world as well….and then watched it/them go back and forth for hours. It has always made me laugh. On Time II and On Time III go back and forth from the Edgartown Memorial Wharf to Chappaquiddick all day long. The trip from one dock to the other is just over one minute. It takes just over four minutes for a ferry to load up with cars (maybe 4 max), travel across the way, dock, unload, and reload, and make the return trip. Not sure why that cracks me up, but it does. It adds such an interesting twist to one’s commute I should think.
Good Morning Gloucester
