2023 Slip/Storage Rent
by Dave Shearer 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

For those storing their boats at the Great Salt Lake Marina, it is time to make sure you have paid your storage fees. Last fall we sent out a credit card autopay form. These expire (they do not roll over into the new year) on December 31st. So those of you that have not sent the new forms in we cannot process your payments. Many of you have already sent the forms in and I appreciate it. Thank you. There are also several people that have not paid rent for several months for storage. The State is cracking down on this and several boats have already been auctioned off. These are boats that have not had payments in some time. I have just started sending out reminders to those with past-due balances to please catch those up ASAP or make arrangements to pay these amounts down in a short period of time. I have attached a 2023 Autopay form for those that have not filled them out yet. Please fill them out and either email them back in or send them to PO Box 440, Magna, Utah 84044 Thank you. Dave

The first Marina Community Social of the year is approaching. Saturday, January 28th will be the Harbormaster Clam Chowder Social at 11am. Please bring your favorite chowder, stew, soup recipe or bring a side to share. Weather permitting, it will be held over at TazMahal (my deck) and we will have a fire pit going. If the weather is more inclement we will hold it in the Cambria Room (the old Common Room). Hope to see you all there Dave

Happy New Year and SNOWPACK!
by Dave Shearer 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

Happy New Year to the Great Salt Lake Community! May it be a sight better than the last one. And what an incredible start to our snowpack! The Water Year for the Great Salt Lake Basin starts October 1st. and it was dry with only 50% of our moisture. But November (128%) and December (194%) certainly changed those losses around. Does this mean many of you will get to go back in the water this spring? Many of you don't trust the trend and have expressed they are not even thinking of going in yet. Others have expressed interest in going back in even if they only get for or five months of sailing in before having to pull back out. We will keep watching what happens. If we dredge (or when) and what happens with the snowpack through April will be the tell. January through April are the critical months. Right now the trend is looking good with several storms lined up heading our way. I will keep you posted. Thanks Dave
