Tech issues
It’s been nearly two weeks since the
Steamship Authority announced that it would be suspending its summertime reservation opening out of concern for their technology backend. While Islanders made reservations during the "Headstart" program, there were glitches. Some board members say it highlights a need for improvements. Read that story here.

Whale towA big team with multiple agencies hauled the body of a right whale that had washed ashore at Cow Bay and brought it to Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head land in Aquinnah. We have a reporter on scene as the newsletter is finalized, getting the sights and sounds of a necropsy of the whale. We will bring you updates on our website. Read our coverage here.

Waterfront House and Guesthouse, Chilmark SponsoredMartha's Vineyard has many fine waterfront properties, but only a handful of exceptional ones. The Lee Family Compound is an exceptional, 3-acre waterfront property with breathtaking, unobstructed pond views from an elevated secure location, 750+ ft. of pond frontage, 48-ft. dock with separate mooring for easy access to Menemsha
Pond and Vineyard Sound, and privacy without an abutter in view — all compliment the spacious, 5-bedroom, 5-bath, comfortable, well-built main house and the well-sited, 2-bedroom, 1-bath, contemporary guest house. The stunning views are everywhere, so 14 of the 16 rooms in both houses enjoy grand pond views. Because of the elevation, the sunsets, moonrises, and stargazing are some of the most remarkable the Island has to offer. The two-home compound can house 18 comfortably and is perfect for year-round family events. Come launch your canoe, kayak, or paddleboard from spring to fall; swim, clam, or sail from a private sandy beach off the point all summer long; sunbathe on your private dock or on 3 decks or on the terraced lawn overhanging the cove; and enjoy seasonal holidays by a roaring fire with extended family and loved ones. This compound is proof that a picture is worth a 1,000 words (see Video Aerial Tour).

—
Mary Hansen, on the proposal for new wind strategies in response to the growing endangerment of whale speciesHot Topic Letter"There is no denying the horrors that we can see today if we choose not to be willfully ignorant. One might as well try to deny the
