Now You Can Have West Neck Water-Level Reports 24-7

I'm not lying--you really can get a report anytime you want it now, and the person you need to thank for this revelation is my kayaker buddy, Charlie Bruggemann.

He's always canvassing the Web for something to help himself or fishermen in general. During one of his searches, he came across this link: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=akq&gage=cacv2.

When you get to this site, all you have to do is click on the blue line on the graph, and it will give you gauge readings at 15-minute intervals for the North Landing River at Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal. Just add 1.30 to the level it shows, and you'll be darn close to what the reading is on the gauge at West Neck Marina any given time of the day or night.

Charlie has checked this comparison and found that it works. Try it and see if you agree. The only thing you might lose is a couple minutes of your time.
