One heck of a storm on the Bay...

...today.

Huge waves (for the Bay), breaking near shore, at least five footers, 25
to 35 knot winds, very high tides, and a number of streets in the
Chesapeake Beach area are flooding over. Lots of broken tree branches on
the roads. A real nor'easter.

Herring's probably out in it, trolling for that big striper.

Is it heading toward Montauk? A friend's there for a few days, unwinding. I
was hoping she'd get sample of everything Montauk has to offer, including
"Jeezus ****ing christ - there goes the beach chair!"

This storm is coming from the NE to us. Montauk is NE of us. I guess we
could bounce it back...

OK....she said it was just overcast. I guess it missed the point.

He probably would have been if a seventh grade teacher hadn't begged me to take
her class so she could go watch her son graduate from college this weekend. What
a PITA *that* was!

Here's the current report:

CHESAPEAKE BAY FROM SANDY POINT TO NORTH BEACH-
CHESAPEAKE BAY FROM NORTH BEACH TO DRUM POINT-

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON


TONIGHT
N WINDS 20 TO 25 KT...DECREASING TO 15 TO 20 KT AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WAVES 4 FT. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS EVENING.

I understand it was worse than that during the day today with waves over 5 feet.
Wet trolling is OK. Cold trolling is OK. Wet *and* cold trolling sucks!

I'm going out Tue or Wed (whichever day has the better weather) to troll up to
Annapolis, anchor out by the #2 buoy, and drop some alewive chunks overboard
while watching the Blue Angels do their thing for the Navy Academy graduation.

Should be a good time. Lots of Tidalfish folks are talking about going up there.
Will the 'Yo Ho' be in attendance?
