Gate Code
by Dave Shearer 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

GSL Slip Renters. It has appeared that the gate code has been given out to non-slip renters. We have had someone entering the park late at night saying he was given the code to the gate by a slip renter. As I have stated in past emails, this is absolutely unacceptable. If you have a guest coming in after hours you must meet them out at the gate and let them in. DO NOT GIVE OUT THE GATE CODE. We will be changing the gate code in the next few days. Those with a valid slip rent contract will be forwarded the new gate code. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Dave

Windy Season - Take it Seriously
by Dave Shearer 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

We are now in WINDY Season. It is time for everyone that has a boat or property at Great Salt Lake State Marina to take this very seriously. It appears we have very strong winds heading our way on Monday. And we had a funnel cloud, probably a tornado touch down between Stansbury and Carrington Island today. See picture below. It is time to check and even replace dock lines. Secure sails, especially genoas. Check rigging. Secure dinghies. Windy season usually goes through mid-September through mid-May.

SAD NEWS
by Dave Shearer 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

We received some sad news this morning at Great Salt Lake State Park & Marina. Don Harsh, our chief maintenance guy and father to the Region Maintenance Supervisor, passed away suddenly last night. He had been fighting some health issues this summer but his passing last night was still unexpected. Don was a very kind, smart and talented person. He was very dedicated to Great Salt Lake State Park and its community. He will be missed. Dave
