🌧️⚓ Nasty weather? We’re still standing by.

Today, we responded to the Delaware River to locate a sailboat with total electrical failure and a captain caught in the rough weather. We found him and safely towed him to Schaefer’s Canal House. 💪🚤

⚠️ MARINE WEATHER UPDATE | Saturday, September 26

The nor’easter is bringing gale-force gusts and rough water to the upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bay today. NOAA’s marine forecasts call for:

🌊 Upper Chesapeake Bay, north of Pooles Island: A Gale Warning through this evening. North winds 20–25 knots, gusting to 35 knots, with waves around 2 feet and rain.

🌊 Upper Delaware Bay: A Gale Warning through 6 a.m. Sunday. North winds 25–30 knots, gusting to 40 knots, with seas 3–5 feet today.

Please check your dock lines, fenders, bilge pumps, battery levels, and shore-power connections if it’s safe to do so. If your boat is on a mooring, check on it from a safe location, too. We’ve seen a record number of moorings break this year. Look for signs that the boat has shifted, and inspect the mooring line and its chafe protection when conditions allow. Don’t go out into hazardous weather to make a check.

TowBoatUS Chesapeake City is only a phone call away if you need help: 410-885-5988. Stay safe and keep checking the latest NOAA forecast.
