February
Meeting
Our
February
meeting will be Wednesday, February 8th. (Our regular
meetings are always the second Wednesday of each month).
Socializing
starts at 6:00 pm and the meeting starts at 6:30 pm.
The
meeting will be at our regular location at Athen's
Café Greek
Restaurant at 6271
St. Augustine Road. They have a private room reserved
for us that has accommodated us nicely. Socializing begins
at 6:00pm with the meeting starting at 6:30).
The
program this month will be replaced with the display of
the finalist entries and voting for our annual Photo Contest.
There were a large number of great entries this time. The
Scubanauts
Board
members, who are responsible for selecting the 10 finalist
photos out of each category, had a difficult job. It took
them nearly 4 hours to distill around 60 entries
down to the
final list. This was the result of outstanding jobs done
by our member photographers! Come and vote your favorite!
Don't forget our annnual SuperBowl party which begains at 5:00pm today. As it has been for the last decade, it's at Bob Riddle's house in Mandarin. It's a "bring a covered dish" party. Come enjoy the game with your fellow Scubanauts!
Club
dues are now seriously overdue for anyone not yet caught
up. So any members who do not pay by this meeting will
be dropped from the roster and our mailing list.
There
are still some Scubanauts logo shirts and caps left from
our last order. So if you didn't get want you wanted, check
with Lynda to see what stock remains.
We're
still looking for more material for our club Photo
Gallery. Check
out the entries so far! Members, send in
some for your own page. We're adding more pages
for
Photo
contests
and club
trips soon.
With the recent
higher seas offshore, current dive reports are tough to
come by. Most recent reports from last week put bottom
temps around 68 degrees with 'vis around 20 feet or so.
The NOAA’s
National Data Buoy Center Station
41012 sea
buoy found 40 miles ENE of St. Augustine is
reporting wave heights of 3-1/3 to 6 feet with surface
temps around
69 degrees for the past 24 hours.
Newcomers, come check
our membership
pages to find out more about joining the Scubanauts!
If you have any ideas for speakers, please
let your officers know. We always need new ideas!
