A new Menemsha-New Bedford ferry service?

With a vision to eliminate transportation hurdles for up-Island residents, Hugh Taylor is pitching a water taxi between Menemsha and New Bedford.  Taylor, who leases a lot in Mememsha, presented his proposal to the Aquinnah Select Board on Tuesday and noted that this maritime connection would allow up-Island residents to avoid the hassle of traveling to Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs for a Steamship Authority (SSA) trip to the mainland.
