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.
