Marina is Closed
by Dave Shearer 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

The Great Salt Lake State Marina has been CLOSED. Due to very strong winds and dangerous flying debris, the marina has been closed until tomorrow morning at 5:30am. We have already lost a substantial sized tree. As a boat owner you still have access to the marina but we advise you stay away until the front passes over for your own safety. Most of the boats are faring well but there are a few boats with some damage to them. There will be a Storm Damage Report forthcoming at www.gslmarina.com The top gust at this time is 71 miles per hour. Gusts will become stronger as the front gets closer.

Wind Advisory - Gale Force Warning
by Dave Shearer 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users A Gale Force Warning is being issued for the Great Salt Lake Marina area and the Great Salt Lake. An unusually strong cold front is approaching the Great Salt Lake. Winds ahead of this front are approaching at an angle to cause strong gusty winds and even Tooele Twisters through Thursday evening. Please consider whether your property and boats are properly secured and tied down. What shape are your dock lines in. If you have any question please come visit your boat and properly secure it along with sails, furlers and other property that may become a dangerous projectile.

Website down
by Dave Shearer 05 Aug '09

GSL Marina Users and Slip Renters. If it isn't one thing, it is another. Either power outages (brought to you by Rocky Mountain PowerOUTAGE), or down satellite, or down phone lines (brought to you by Harper Construction) keep knocking out our ability to update the GSL Marina website on a timely and regular basis. Well now it appears the site itself is having difficulties. It has only been working sporadically over the last few days. Sorry for any inconvenience. I am close to giving up on this concept though.

Wednesday night races at Tahoe
by Rande Peterson 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi all, I am in Reno this week and it looks like I might have some time on my hands this evening. I am thinking about going up to Tahoe to see if I can crew on a boat tonight, assuming they have Wednesday night races. Does anyone know of a YC or other group on the lake that holds these? If you could let me know where on the lake they are, that would be great. Thanks for any help. Rande Peterson *Fast Times,* C-15
