Getting a unit onto Chebeague Island
Nothing rolls onto Chebeague Island without a slot on the freight boat out of the Cousins Island wharf. Chebeague Island orders are booked against the sailing schedule first and the delivery date follows from it. A missed boat sets a Chebeague Island order back to the next freight window, which can be several days. We land units at the Chebeague Island stone pier and truck them out on the island roads from there. Because pickups also ride the boat, a Chebeague Island rental is quoted with the return sailing already planned.
Island builds and town projects on Chebeague Island
Contractors working on Chebeague Island bring their materials over in batches and keep crews on the island for days at a stretch. A Chebeague Island house project generally holds one standard unit for the full run rather than swapping units in and out. Town road, culvert and landing work on Chebeague Island uses the same unit moved along the job. The Chebeague Island school and the town office grounds get summer maintenance while the year-round population is smallest. Winter work on Chebeague Island is thin, and most units come off the island before the December weather sets in.
Summer crowds and events on Chebeague Island
The Chebeague Island population multiplies between the Fourth of July and Labor Day, and the inn, the golf club and the beaches all fill. Chebeague Island weddings and reunions usually book a weekend set that arrives on the Friday boat. Golf outings at the Chebeague Island club take one unit near the clubhouse turnaround. Because the Chebeague Island summer fills every unit already on the island, extra weekend orders need a week of notice. Service on Chebeague Island runs on a weekly pass, and heavy summer sets get a second pump.
