Crane Day
by Dave Shearer 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

I have had several requests for a Crane Day in the fall rather than August 2nd. So I am seeing who would be interested in a crane day sometime mid to late September and then just doing the crane day then so we can save money for everyone. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks Dave

Saturday - Nice night for a full moon sail ....
by Janet Robins 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

The yacht club was originally trying to plan a full moon raft-up and sail for Saturday night July 28, 2018. Unfortunately, my life and schedule have been less than cooperative for getting this planned (my apologies!) However, there is certainly no reason, those interested can't go out on their own. If you have never done a full moon sail on the Great Salt Lake, it is absolutely gorgeous, the temperatures are cooler and the lake usually offers very favorable conditions. The weather looks good for Saturday night, although it could be partly cloudy. We have another full moon sail scheduled for Saturday evening, August 25 - so mark your calendars, and water levels permitting - we will have another opportunity to enjoy the full moon :o) Janet Robins Commodore GSLYC

Marina Mouth
by Dave Shearer 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

We did some extensive work in the marina mouth today. Results look very promising. But I want to stress extreme caution when using the mouth and approaching the first navigation buoys. It will take us a bit of time to know more about the results and get that section of the channel properly marked again. Dave

by Dave Shearer 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

I'm sorry I need to announce this Tuesday's sailing clinic will be postponed. I have not been able to quite finish the presentation. We WILL reschedule very soon. I just need to talk with the Safety Consortium about when their building will be available again. This is only a short postponement. Sorry for the inconvenience. Dave

Lake Levels
by Dave Shearer 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Just an update on the lake levels. As you all know we did not have a good water year this year. We are likely to see lake levels this fall similar to two years ago. I believe we will be able to keep boats in the marina this year but might have to move some of the boats from the south basin to the NW basin in the next month. The Deep Channel is now 6 feet to 9 feet of water. The mouth of the marina is shallower but we are working to try and fix that. It is currently about five feet deep in two spots with the rest of it being deeper than that. Dave
