September 15th 7:30 PM speaker at Brunswick Electric is Steve Pfaff. Steve is a lead meteorologist at the Wilmington Office of the Weather Bureau which is part of NOAA.. He is head of Marine Forecasting and very interested in improving our local marine forecasts! He will speak about the big NOAA bouys off of Edisto Beach 65 nm south of Charleston SC, the brand new one at Frying Pan Shoals (off of Bald Head Island near rhe
existing tower), and at Cape Hateras. NOAA works in cooperation with
UNCW's Coastal Ocean Research and Monitoring Program (CORMP) which has deployed four real time weather and oceanographic bouys in Onslow Bay off of the east facing beaches which run north and then northeast from Cape Fear.
NOAA also is in cooperation with NC State and the University of South Carolina with new bouys and weather sites at fishing piers etc. Steve will put all of this together!

Steve's tel # at work is 910-762-4289 ext 420. Currently he is working the midnight to 0800 shift.

This will be a great program for our squadron. South Port SPS, Shallotte River FishN Fun Club, Holden Beach Fishing Club, Cape Fear Yacht Club, and USCG Aux cordially are invited. Call me at 754-3723 with any questions.
