Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|
|
On this day in 2019, the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby began with a teary-eyed speech
from Derby president John Custer, honoring the legacy of Ed Jerome, who led the annual event for decades. It was also the last year striped bass were considered an eligible species in the competition (they were banned due to a moratorium necessitated by their dwindling population). Make sure to wear your windbreaker or raincoat if you plan on fishing tonight, or maybe just sit this one out. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Quote of the Day
"There were months where it was upsetting, there were months where I was happy, and months where I was ready to get the next boat off…It was nice to see people and know that they cared, but some people were under the impression that I’ve been on vacation for two years, which wasn’t the case."
— ArtCliff Diner owner Gina Stanley on the restaurant's two-year hiatus and
upcoming reopeningHot Topic CommentJim Ventry commented on our story about the storm currently bearing down on the Vineyard: "The US Navy’s FNMOC wave prediction website is the most accurate source when it comes to forecasting sea conditions. The current model runs show a SE swell in the range of 5-9 feet over the next 48 hours. Once the storm itself reaches our local waters the wind will be from the north and there is not enough fetch on a north wind for waves in the 10-15 foot range to develop."Hot Topic LetterToni Kauffman wrote that the Island community won’t be intimidated by hate: "In the past and still today, our Island legacy of perseverance, culture, economic sustenance, and many other contributions by native/indigenous, Black and brown people, cannot be erased by the hanging of racist signs."

‘Jaws’ unhinged
Ian Shaw, Robert’s son, has taken the "Jaws" story to Broadway with "The Shark is Broken." Playing now at the Golden Theater in Manhattan, the play features the three main characters who are waiting aboard a replica of the Orca while the malfunctioning shark is repaired. The co-stars of the film (Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider) act out in ways that emulate their cinematic characters, leading to a good dose of comedy. Ian Shaw plays his dad, and looks amazingly like him. Gwyn McAllister tells the story here.
