Re: [GSL-Marina] POWER UPDATE

Thanks for all the detailed updates. Much appreciated as we can't always get out to check on our boat. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Dave Shearer <dshearer(a)gslmarina.com> Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 19:22:05 To: <gsl-marina(a)mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [GSL-Marina] POWER UPDATE GSL Slip Renters The power is back on to the marina (at least temporarily). But, for those that have boats hooked up to power, I recommend you come out and check your boats. We had one hell of a surge come through here that messed up some of the electrical in the park. If we have equipment messed up you may well have problems with your electrical in your boats. The marina and docks are one big sheet of ice. We have salted most of the marina but please be careful when you come out. There isn't much snow here so you shouldn't have to worry about your boats in that regard. We are a bit behind here because of the outages and repairing blown equipment. I will try to get weather forecasts back on line sometime today. Please bare with me. Harbor Master.

Power Outage
by Dave Shearer 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

GSL Slip Renters (especially the live-aboards). We are still without power at the marina. Rocky Mountain PowerOUTAGE estimates it MAY be back on by 6:30pm. I wouldn't hold my breath. Snow has all melted here so you shouldn't have to worry about your boats. Restrooms are still shut down due to lack of power. Harbor Master

POWER OUTAGE
by Dave Shearer 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

GSL Slip Renters. The power at the marina is still out. It has been out for over 13 hours. Rocky Mountain PowerOUTAGE can give us no update on when power will be restored. That will mean no weather forecasts today. That also means no restrooms. I will email you when Rocky Mountain PowerOUTAGE has been able to TEMPORARILY restore power to the marina as that is all they seem to be able to do. Harbor Master.
