These pages are listed on the right side of the blog site. >>>>>>>
Note:
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).

Mark G has gone missing several times. We believe that Watermen took it as it may have interfered with their trot lines. I went out there last year and found it in a new location approximately 0.36 Nautical miles west of of the original ESSA position. There is no way that the mark could have blown there.
