WGMD will Never Forget 9/11. Two years after the 9/11 Terror Attacks, just as the war in Iraq was beginning, local troops were being deployed, WGMD decided to put together a patriotic rally in support of our troops and the USA. In the space of a week, musicians, poets, singers, service organizations, vendors, schools and others turned out for the Rally for America at the bandstand in Rehoboth Beach. The program was a collection of patriotic music, readings, singers, dancers and more – with the names of hundreds of local troops who had already been deployed – or called for service – read throughout the program. The bandstand was a sea of American flags, people dressed as Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty and more, as well as those in uniform – most of whom served in conflicts past. Thousands turned out – some from as far as New England who heard about the rally on the Dr. Laura Show, which WGMD aired at the time. It was a day of unity and patriotism. Click for full view

Thursday saw small craft advisories up and they will be up through Saturday morning. We had 戮-inch of rain at my house on Thursday so if anyone went fishing, they love it a lot more than I do. I do have a few reports left over from earlier in the week. Robbie from Lewes Harbour…

Small craft advisories were up for Thursday and, to the best of my knowledge, no boats left the dock or trailer. Friday may be a bit too rough on the ocean for many boats. Delaware Bay could see some fishermen on Friday, but Saturday is a better bet. The high tides brought on by the…

Wednesday saw gale warnings up and it looks like no one will be doing much fishing until Saturday. Once the storm passes, it may take a tide or two for the seas to settle down. Hopefully, the water will not push up into the marsh and bring all that grass into the bay and ocean.…
