Jawsfest Cruise
Jawsfest should not be limited to land — that’s for wimps. Better to get out on the water; after all that’s where the sharks live. On Sunday, August 12, starting at 9:30 a.m. Seastreak’s 141-foot catamaran will be heading out to sea to view scenes from the movie including East Chop, Harthaven, State Beach and Big Bridge, Cow Bay, Edgartown and Cape Pogue.
Corrections
A story about Island birder Warren Woessner in last Friday’s Gazette incorrectly stated the date of the sighting of the red-footed falcon. The rare bird was spotted on the Island in 2004.
A story about Meet the Coaches night at the regional high school on Tuesday incorrectly stated the time of the event. It begins at 6 p.m.
