Navigation Notice
by Dave Shearer 27 May '10

27 May '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users I know that the 80 miler race is this weekend. And that many of you will be cruising to further destinations on the lake. USGS has just placed a new research buoy on the lake off Antelope Island. This isn't a usual buoy. It has ground tackle that radiates out from it. You will want to keep a good distance from the buoy. See the following link for a complete description of the buoy. http://www.gslmarina.com/NN2010001/tabid/129/Default.aspx Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Water Watch
by Dave Shearer 24 May '10

24 May '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. Boy, what a difference two months can make! April, and especially May, have delivered very heavy moisture. At the end of March things were looking quite dismal. Yet these last several storms delivered significant water. We are now close to a normal water year for the Great Salt Lake basin. Go to www.gslmarina.com to check out the current water watch report. It is very encouraging Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

We need to borrow a trailer
by Dave Shearer 18 May '10

18 May '10

GSL Slip Renters. We are in need of borrowing a sailboat trailer. Antelope Island is taking possession of one of our sailboats. A venture 21. The sailboat is being used in a display of boating on the Great Salt Lake that will be placed on the hard at Antelope Island Marina. We need to borrow a trailer to transport this sailboat to Antelope Island. We may need the trailer for about a month. If you are able to help us out we are willing to compensate you by crediting some slip rent. Please let me know if you can help out. Thanks Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users For those that have not been to www.gslmarina.com and checked out the "NEW IMPROVED Photo Album" link on the main page, please check it out. Several very good photographers have added some incredible pictures of marina life, boating on the lake, storms, sunsets, etc. This photo album is turning out great and entertaining. And if you have some pics to add that show life on the Great Salt Lake or show the beauty of the lake, please feel free to add to the album. I would also love to expand to more Hawaiian, Paddle Boarding, Sculling and Kayaking pics also. Dave Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Weather Station / D Dock Water
by Dave Shearer 08 May '10

08 May '10

Slip renters and Marina Users. We are aware the weather station at the marina went down. We do not know why it stopped transmitting but we believe it is repaired. You should "hopefully" start seeing data transmitted again on the web and mesonet. Water to D dock is back on now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
