Stuart Wentworth is sailing up and down the east coast. He left New Jersey and is sailing back to Florida but Florence has changed his schedule.

The city is keeping an eye on downtown flooding. Residents and business owners can pick up sand bags at Truxton Park.
Mayor Gavin Buckley is worried we may have a repeat of Hurricane Isabel. Isabel came inland and pushed the water up the bay causing historic levels of flooding in Annapolis.
"That kind of flooding will devastate the businesses downtown. It took us a long time to recover from Isabel the last time. It's just something we don't want to happen here," said Mayor Buckley.
Mayor Buckley has been in Annapolis for 25 years and says he has seen a change in the flooding patterns in Annapolis.
"I think we see it with much more frequencies these days so we are addressing that."
In the coming months, the city will start a 10 million dollar flood mitigation plan. It will impact city dock.
