Proposed Navigation Aid changes on Choptank River.


Below are the proposed U.S. Coast Guard changes for buoy placement on the Choptank.  These are proposed changes.  I have only listed the changes that affect our WNR races. We do not know when or if these changes will take place.  

This may force ESSA to revise our race course plan. So stand by.

Of special note is the elimination of Green Can 25 (I-India).
