Severe Thunderstorm Warning!
by Dave Shearer 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. Severe Thunderstorm Warning! -> Hurricane Force Warning. A Severe thunderstorm is building in the west desert and is tracking for the south end of Great Salt Lake. At 8pm this is a significant and still developing thunderstorm. NOAA has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the Tooele Valley. Great Salt Lake Marina has issued a Hurricane Force Warning for the southern half of Great Salt Lake. This system could produce strong gusty winds, lightning, heavy rain, and possibly a cyclone. The storm has yet to pass over the Stansbury Mountains and could be diminished as it does so lessening its effect over the lake. This event should expire by 10pm tonight. This thunderstorm has formed on the outer edge of a pinwheel monsoonal system over New Mexico. It could spawn a few more storms over the night. Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina

Vessel Registration - IMPORTANT
by Dave Shearer 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

GSL Slip Renters, Vessel Registration If you have a boat (with a motor or a sail) in the water at the Great Salt Lake State Marina, it must be registered. Next week the rangers will be doing their semi-annual dock inspection checking registrations. I have been informed that citations will be written for expired registrations or "Failure to Display" If you haven't been able to get out here and get your stickers on the boats, please do asap. Please do not email me. Do not call me on this matter. There is NOTHING I can do about it. Rebuilding of the Marina Maintenance Building The powers-that-be have been investigating where to put the new (replacement) maintenance building. They have determined that the best location is where Unsecured Storage is currently located. The original spot of the maintenance building will be converted to the new Unsecured Storage. Over the next few weeks the site of the old building will be prepped for storage. This will include new fencing and gravel. After that all trailers and boats located in the current Unsecured Storage will have to be relocated to the new spot. For those that want the convenience of having electricity or being located in the marina proper may want to consider Secured Storage while I still have a few spaces left. Cost of Secured Storage is $75.00/month ($50/month during winter months) Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina
