Path of the Pelicans Presentation 20 Sept 18 at Westminster
by Janet Robins 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

Interested in GSL, pelicans, migration, birds...? Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/330120757806953/ Path of the Pelicans Did you know? American White Pelicans have been found as high as 30,000 feet during migration. Many pelicans travel far into Mexico to their wintering grounds. Eastern and western pelican populations regularly interact, they don't stay in one flyway. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) has been following the movements and behaviors of pelicans with the help of solar powered GPS backpacks since 2014. Russ Norvell, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Avian Conservation Program Coordinator will present their findings and give us more insight into the lives of American White Pelicans. Free and open to the public. September 20, 2018 Time 7:00 - 8:30 pm Gore Business School Auditorium at Westminster College (Building 4 https://www.westminstercollege.edu/about/campus-map) We will also live-stream on the Great Salt Lake Institute Facebook page Thanks!

MARINA UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

The fire out this way was quite extensive. Rocky Mountain Power is working hard to replace power poles and restore electricity. But it will likely be a couple days before that happens. There is no electricity to the park. That means no electricity to the docks, buildings or restrooms. It also means no electricity to the front gate. We will still have the park open for the day (with no restrooms). But, because of the electrical issue, we will be closing the park at 5pm each day until electrical is restored. We prefer slip renters stay away after 5pm. But if you must come out you will need to use your dock key on the swing gate side out by Saltair. If you do come out make sure the gate is secure behind you and do not let anyone in behind you . Thanks and we will keep you posted. Dave

FIRE UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 16 Sep '18

16 Sep '18

The front has come through and the marina is no longer in danger. The fire did not quite reach the marina so all your personal property is safe and secure (except for SEADATE which has a shredded genoa). We will open the marina tomorrow morning but there is no electricity, sewer or restrooms. The damage to infrastructure out this way is VERY extensive. It may be a week or more before we see power back to the marina. We will keep you updated as we know more. Dave

Wind Warning!
by Dave Shearer 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

We are nearing the fall weather pattern which brings strong southerly winds as fronts approach. Tomorrow is the first of the fall pre-frontal winds. We will be issuing a Gale Force Warning tomorrow morning for all of Saturday. Winds will be strong and gusty from 25mph to possibly 60mph. We have these kind of winds multiple times during Fall, Winter and Spring. It is now time to consider whether your property at the marina is ready for those winds. * Are your dock lines in good shape? * Are mainsails removed from the boom or at least properly covered. Mainsails not removed or properly covered will shred in strong wind. It is a good idea to remove your mainsail from the boom or cover the sail and then wrap a line around the cover * Is your genoa removed or properly AND tightly furled? Genoas that are loosely furled are VERY prone tun unfurling and shredding in the wind. An unfurled genoa can also lead to dismasting * Are all your halyards secured? * Is your standing rigging properly pinned? Just one standing rigging wire that pops out due to a cotter pin or split ring failure can lead to a costly dismasting. * If you have a boat cover, is it properly secured? Loose boat covers can shred in the wind. * Is all your property on your boat or on the dock properly secured? We haven't had much wind this summer which has lead to some complacency. Ripped sails or dismastings can be very expensive. Unsecured property or rigging on your boat can lead to damage on the boat next to you also. Thanks Dave

trailer
by Errol Remington 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Dave, Do you happen to know if anyone needs to use my trailer tomorrow? I want to know what time I should be out there. I used to come early to help others with their boats but I'm at the age now where the most help I can be is staying out of the way. Errol
