Hype for the Future 65C: Martha’s Vineyard, the Island of Dukes County

Introduction While the Elizabeth Islands that separate the Buzzards Bay from the Vineyard Sound are located off the coast of the Woods Hole area and contain the Town of Gosnold, the vast majority of the approximately seventy (70) permanent residents are exclusively within the area of the village of Cuttyhunk on Cuttyhunk Island specifically, as the remaining islands are largely identified as privately owned by the Boston Brahmin Forbes family. The vast majority of Dukes County, […]

Hype for the Future 65B: Nantucket, a Queer Haven, Town, County, and Island

Introduction The Town of Nantucket is the sole town in the consolidated town-county arrangement of Nantucket County, Massachusetts. Though not as notable for the LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈 population as the Cape Cod area, including Provincetown, the island of Nantucket offers seclusion that may provide privacy and security for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and aromantic/asexual community, albeit on a different register. Notable […]

With the obvious nod to Fiona’s comprehenive Orkney News @fionaorkneynews , I did enjoy this ‘summary’ of the year in the Islands (it covers a fare sea area)..

‘Elsewhere, a skipper in Shetland was accused of being drunk in charge of a fishing vessel, only for it to transpire that he simply had a particularly strong accent.’

Sheep, shysters and furious Shetland knitters – 2025 in the islands

By Rhoda Meek

COULD give you a round-up of all the sensible island news from 2025. I could tell you about broadband cables and fixed links, worries over the reprisal of HPMAs, late-running ferries, broken ferries, electric ferries and cancelled ferries, but where would be the fun in that?

Hype for the Future 64F: Boothbay Area, Maine

Introduction The Towns of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are largely associated with the summer season, both along the Atlantic Ocean with Boothbay slightly further inland (north) within Lincoln County, Maine.

#Venice was vastly overdone.
#Weddings can be done sensibly and effectively at much lower cost*
#Rockets though - a notable feature of the recent generation of rockets is that they are much cheaper than previous generations.
Rocketry then is an absolutely expensive thing, complaining about it being done relatively cheaper is something you might consider further work on.

* Although if #security is a factor, #islands have obvious advantages.
