Beaufort Sportfishing and Diving Club will hold their monthly meeting on Thursday July 8th at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club located off of Meridian Road on Lady's Island. The social begins at 6:30 and the program begins at 7:00. Mr. Bill Carson of Lowrance will make a presentation on the new sonar depth finder for run abouts and larger boats.
