A major public works project to install new power cables deep beneath the Edgartown harbor to Chappaquiddick must start over, a spokesman for the electric company NStar confirmed this week.
NStar spokesman Mike Durand said three of the four conduits beneath the harbor have collapsed and must be installed again. The project, which has caused a fair amount of disruption for the people who live on Chappy, is now projected to be completed by spring.
Eighteen-year-old Nicole Level, one of Mexico’s top junior windsurfers from Cancun, is alive today because of the quick thinking of 13-year-old Rasmus Sayre from Vineyard Haven.
The rescue took place last Saturday during a world-class windsurfing championship in Cozumel. The young teenage female sailor was found adrift amid four and five-foot seas, far offshore, without her board and not wearing a life jacket. Mr. Sayre happened to notice her while racing in a tight competition, and without hesitating he left the highly competitive race to make the rescue.
