Parking Lot torn up
by Dave Shearer 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users (At least those in the north parking lot) The north parking lot is torn up. We are currently installing a moat around my home. Once completed it will have a small draw bridge that can be used to access my place when I want visitors. The drawbridge will be vigilantly patrolled by well trained and motivated Trolls. The moat will be filled with man eating sharks and piranhas. Ok. We are actually just installing a sewer line to the Visitor Center and installing an RV dump station. This will also allow the slip renters with Porta Potties to dump them at the dump station. You will have access to the north parking lot all this week and this weekend despite the construction. You will just have to maneuver around dirt piles and trenches. It is anticipated that all this work will be done by Monday evening. Enjoy a great weekend and don't forget about the Murphy's Cup RC sailboat races on Saturday as well as the St. Patty's social Saturday evening.

Marina Updates
by Dave Shearer 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. What a difference in the weather pattern! We have seen a substantial change in the weather pattern since mid-January. We have had several storms in a row including the Pineapple Express. This has brought the Great Salt Lake drainage snowpack levels from 69% mid-January to 110% today with Bear River drainage, our most important drainage, at 121% today. This is an incredible turnaround. And the lake has come up substantially. It is rising very fast now. Catalina 30's can now get out. In fact almost everyone can get out. The boats that remain trapped in the marina should be able to get out by the end of March. To see a full report on the weather and snowpack information you can visit www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> and go to the Resources tab. >From there click on Weather/Water and then Current Year Water Watch Report. Also, the Marina News has been updated on www.gsmarina.com <http://www.gsmarina.com> Just click on the News tab to view important news items for the marina.

Polar Bear Fund Raiser Cruise/Regatta and Clam Chowder Party
by Dave Shearer 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users During the winter water temperatures on the Great Salt Lake can be some of the coldest on earth. Water temperatures dip below 29 degrees during December and January. Someone falling into the lake is exposed to very dangerous, and uncomfortable conditions. The Great Salt Lake Yacht Club would like to hold a fund raiser for the purpose of buying blankets and some warm outer clothing for those that may have an unfortunate accident and need some immediate relief. These items would be housed at the ranger station for use in search and rescue incidents. But the Yacht Club want to make this fundraiser a fun activity for the whole marina community. This year's Polar Bear Cup, as well as the Harbor Master's Clam Chowder party on the 25th of January is dedicated for this purpose. The Yacht Club and the Harbor Master want to invite you out on January 25th for the Polar Bear Cup and Cruise. And after a day of racing and cruising come to the Harbor Master's deck and enjoy a nice warm bon fire and clam chowder. Please be willing to make a very modest cash contribution or bring blankets or sweat pants/shirts that can be used to warm those unfortunate mariners that may have a very cold introduction to winter water temperatures on the lake. This activity is being held with the two duck hunters that died last year as well as the survivor that swam 1.7 miles in 47 degree water. We hope to see you there. This event is open to all regardless of club affiliation. Thank you Dave and Clark Forman. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
