Personal Annoucement: George B.

ESSA Fleet,

Diane and I have decided to sell our condo in Cambridge. We will be moving to Millsboro, Delaware to be closer to family. Unfortunately, I will be resigning from my job as scorekeeper for the Choptank Fleet.  

If a slip is available, Jitterbug will be moored at the Cambridge Yacht Club.  I hope to do some cruising and maybe a race or two.

So, Everybody raise their hand. It's time to volunteer. 

Fair winds. George

Chesapeake Flood Warning

 October 28-29, 2021

Urgent News: Flood Warning

Is your boat secure?

Exceptional high tides are forecasted for our area. You probably already noticed the high tide today: The tides will be compounded with rain fall and south winds which keep the Chesapeake Bay from flowing out to sea.

Tides may rival the flooding caused by Hurricane Isabel which were the highest measured in recent years.

Water Levels - NOAA Tides & Currents

NOAA COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT
SATURDAY...
* WHAT...2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level in low-
lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
* WHERE...Dorchester, Wicomico, and Somerset Counties.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM EDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Severe flooding will cause extensive inundation and flooding of numerous roads and buildings resulting in a significant threat to property and life. Water will be 2 to 4 feet or more above ground level in some areas. Severe flooding will extend inland from the waterfront and shoreline flooding homes, businesses and isolating some neighborhoods. Numerous roads will be impassable under several feet of water and cars submerged. Some areas will need to be evacuated.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The highest water levels are expected with the high tide cycle Friday late afternoon through the evening. Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

Choptank Cup, Message from the Fleet Captain

 Skippers,

As you prepare for tomorrow’s race, the note below stresses several requirements in 2021 Choptank Cup NORSI. 

1.  PRINT OUT THE NORSI ON THE  BLOG TODAY TO ASSURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT MARKS. 

http://essasailing.blogspot.com/p/2017-essa-choptankcup-race-instructions.html

2.  We will NOT have a skippers meeting. If pre-race guidance is needed, I will announce it prior to the starting sequence on VHF 72. 

3.  All boats will sail Non-Spin. 

4.  We will not have a dedicated Race Committee boat to set the starting line. I (Aura) will be the on-the-water Race Committee. Announcements will be made on VHF 72. Please contact me during the race if you choose to retire, have a medical issue on board, need assistance, etc. 

5.  I will announce before or during the race if the course is being shortened. Specifics about the shortened course will announced on VHF 72. Skippers will be asked to confirm that they are aware of and understand the shortened course. 

6.  As mentioned in the NORSI, the starting line will be between G3 (ESSA Mark A) and G1. The starting line will also be the finish line. 

7.  The 6 beep warning horn will sound at 9:24 am. The 5 minute sequence will start at 9:25am. The race starts at 9:30 am. If you are over early, circle back and restart. 

8.  Skippers are expected to keep their own time and report it to George Breig after finishing the race. 

TIME OF DAY: HH:MM:SS  

TCF formula would look like the following:  480 is used for heavy air.

TCF = 650 / (480 + PHRF) 

Corrected time = TCF x Elapsed Time

PHRF CR Non Spin ratings will be applied.

9.   Please study the course marks since some marks have been moved, renamed or eliminated. Of note - G9 near Black walnut Point has been moved to the location of G7 and the designation of G7 has been eliminated. 

10.  Questions - Call or text me at (513) 477-2584 or email me at rgallagher1.rg@gmail.com. I will update the other skippers on any question that may affect them. 

11. Forecast -  70F. Possible light showers by 4:00 pm (hopefully we will all be back by then). 

Wind - 13 mph to 20 mph from the NE, holding steady in speed and direction. 

Tides - High 6:36 am, Low 1:05 pm, High 7:13 pm

12.  Finally - Sail fast and have fun!

Bob
