New Nav Buoys - JUNK!
by Dave Shearer 27 Oct '24

27 Oct '24

Well we started upgrading the old navigation buoys with new buoys and lights. We got about 1/3 of the way through the process when the new buoys began falling apart on us. They were JUNK! So we are working on putting the old buoys back in with new lights until we can get a new batch of buoys this spring. Sorry this didn't work out. I'm hoping to have most of the BAD buoys replaced within the next week. Dave

WORK ORDERS
by Dave Shearer 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

All summer, we have been working on a new marina manager program that would allow us to better manage aspects of the marina as well as be interactive with the slip renters. Well We developed a snag that has put the project on hold. So I am going to create a fillable work order form that will be on www.gslmarina.com<http://www.gslmarina.com> that you can fill out and submit to us when you see problems that need to be addressed by the maintenance team. We don't always catch every problem so we want to make it easier for you to report problems to us so we can more quickly get on necessary repairs. One note though: Please don't put Dredging as an issue. I know it is. And we are constantly working to try and get dredging done. It is not an easy process when you get so many State and Federal agencies involved. When I have something to report on dredging, whether it is positive or negative, I will let you know. Thank you. And don't forget about the upcoming Harbormaster's Annual Turkey Fry social. I will send another reminder to start RSVP'ing very soon. Thank you. Dave

Water to the docks
by Dave Shearer 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Well this storm today clearly signaled it's time to turn the water off to the docks. This will happen this weekend. If you have hoses on the dock please DISCONNECT them and remove them from the dock. If you want to leave them on your boat that is fine. BUT DO NOT LEAVE THEM ON THE DOCK. Theses become tripping hazards during the winter. And the water temperatures are just too cold and dangerous in the winter. Thank you. Dave

BOAT REGISTRATIONS!
by Dave Shearer 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

I just heard from a reliable source that the Law Enforcement Rangers are planning on being out at Great Salt Lake State Park tomorrow (Sunday) to check for expired boat registrations and proper display of current stickers. It is not enough to register your boat each year. You must also have your stickers properly attached to the hull of the boat. If your boat is in the parking lot you should have no problems but if your boat is in the water they will be checking them. I don't know if they will write warnings or citations for expired registrations or failure to display. The Law Enforcement Rangers are now a separate Division. If your boat registration is expired or your current stickers aren't on the boat, please don't email me. There is nothing I can do about it. I wish I had more time to warn everyone to be prepared but I'm just hearing about this myself. Yet, I warn of this every year so it shouldn't be a surprise that the Rangers will come out to look for compliance. Dave
