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.
