Community News: Cambridge Creek Bridge Repairs
Mr. B,
Thank you for writing. We don't yet have a new date for this work. We're still looking to have it done before the busy boating season so I'm thinking we'll get the contractor here in January or February. Will let you know as soon as a new start date is confirmed.
Kind Regards,

ESSA Sailor is in Need of Assistance
ESSA Sailors,
One of members is currently suffering from a serious illness.
This person has been a long time competitor in the Tangier Fleet. The openness of the internet prohibits me from publishing names and details.
Insurance covers many things, but, not everything,
The family needs assistance in purchasing a lift chair at the cost of $1000. Many have already made personal contributions to assist in the purchase. Several Boats crews have pooled resources to make a donation already.
Please click here and I will reply by email with detailed information make a contribution.
You may also contact Janine and John M of the Tangier Fleet.

NOAA Choptank Weather Station at Cambridge Creek
Many of us use Sailflow and other wind services for racing and cruising. These services depend on NOAA stations for data. For the 2017 season, work at Sail Winds forced removal of the automated station. Good news, it will be returning to operation hopefully for next season.
Water Level Station 8571892 Cambridge, MD is presently installed at a temporary location due to construction/renovations being conducted on the pier the station is normally installed on. The temporary location is not able to support wind measurements.
The repairs/renovation of the pier is work being done by the owners
of the pier (NOAA does not own this structure). Once the repairs are complete,
it is our intention to return the station to it's original location, and to
support the full suite of sensors systems historically available for this
station. We do not know when those repairs will be completed, and cannot
provide a time frame for when the wind sensors will be restored to this
station. We are hopeful that the repairs will be completed, and the station
returned to full function, some time in the next year to 18 months.
I hope that this response has answered your questions.
If not, please let me know.
Should you have additional questions, please contact our office.

Choptank Cup Race Results, October 15, 2017
Choptank
Cup,
All boats finished well before the 5 PM (17:00) time
limit.
Steady winds from the SSW certainly helped to make it a great
day for sailing
The day improved when the overcast skies lifted to reveal a sunny
day.
The start was magnificent with eight competitors sailing on a
beam reach on a 12 knot wind.
Congratulations to Mark McIver and crew of Tamarind!
