NANTUCKETT, Mass. — It’s 7:45 am. Inside The Landing Cafe, just a few steps from Hyannis Harbor, blonde 20-somethings in Parke sweatshirts carrying identical canvas bags are milling about, eyes glued to their phones, waiting to board the Nantucket ferry.
There’s a rough hour-long ride ahead — the storm clouds portend choppy seas and 47 mph wind gusts. Ironically, I’m heading to the island to find out about a storm of a different kind — one that’s been brewing between social media influencers who use the island as an idyllic backdrop for their content, and locals and second-home owners who have been regulars for years.
