10 Jul '23

I received a call from someone who wants to crane in his boat. He wants to know if anyone else is interested in sharing a crane. If anyone is interested in craning in (or out) please let me know and I will get you in touch with him. Thanks Daave

A big THANK YOU to those who pulled the shredded jib down from the yellow Rhodes 19 and stowed it in the cuddy. Today, my family and I brought down mast and surveyed the damage. Yep, forestay is a goner. The mast will be down until the replacement arrives. Thanks, again!

Boat Stands and other Stuff
by Dave Shearer 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

The last time stands were stored here there were tops that went missing and disputes on who owned what stands. For that reason, we have decided we will not be storing stands at the park anymore. If you have stands here please come and pick them up. There were other items that were also left such as boat paraphernalia, boat brushes, etc. Please come pick them up to. We are trying to clean the parking lot up so it doesn't look so messy. If you have a cradle here, you will be charged to store it here unless you remove it. Thanks Dave

Crane Day tomorrow
by Dave Shearer 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

The crane day is tomorrow. We start promptly at 9am. Plan to be here around 8:30am. You may be early on the crane list. You may be waiting around for a while. We have 34 boats scheduled to go into the water so its going to be a long day. REMEMBER to make sure your motor works or it may be a long scull or paddle to your slip. PLAN TO PAY BEFORE you leave for the day. Bring plenty of water and food. Parking is going to be very tough. There is no parking in the south parking lot and very limited parking in the north lot. You may have to park on the side of the road coming into the marina. Thank you, for understanding. Dave

A couple of questions
by glen lathrop 29 May '23

29 May '23

Hi Dave, I've got a couple of questions but you don't have to answer this email directly if you want to put the info in the next newsletter that's fine. What's the story with the Antelop Island Marina. I think you are no longer responsible for it. Is there a web site for it? Is it possible to launch boats there these days with the "new" lake. I have a 14 foot center board boat so I can go lots of places most can't. And as to the south Marina how deep is the water over the reef. I know you mentioned there have been some groundings. But is this because 4 foot draft boats are going into 2 foot of water? And the third question is over Fremont Island. I know DWR now owns it. A few years ago you had a news release about what one could do and could not do there. Maybe you could resend that email. 20 years ago I spent the night on Fremont Island with Jennifier Spears the women who eventually bought it. 20 years ago when the lake was so much deeper it felt like we were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Lets hope those days come back. Glen Lathrop

Parking Passes / Dock Keys
by Dave Shearer 29 May '23

29 May '23

Slip Renters, Starting June 1st, as stated in a previous email, the gate staff will be enforcing the slip renter parking pass. Please make sure you have your parking passes with you or the gate staff has been told to charge a non-refundable $5.00 day use fee. If you have a parking pass from two years ago, they are still good. If you are a current slip renter but haven't received your pass yet, please come see me ASAP. The gate staff has a hard job to do. This time of year it gets very busy with line-ups to get into the park. They don't know who slip renters are and who aren't slip renters. Also, if you have a dock key from two years ago, it still works. The winter was very brutal on the docks but we have been rapidly working to get them open. C, D, and E are open. I and J dock are very close to opening too. B and K dock are probably not going to open for another month or two. They were the worst hit during the storms, strong winds and grounding in the mud. The lake is still coming up fast. I expect possibly another foot of water with the lake topping off sometime in early July and then only dropping 1 to 1.3 feet this summer and fall from evaporation. The noon day to 5pm sailing has been fantastic, so come out and enjoy the lake. The mouth of the marina is about 5 feet deep now. But don't forget about negative storm surge. Also, don't forget about the reef. Even though it is under the water it is still very much still there and is just barely below the surface. A few boats have already found the hard way that the reef is still there. Enjoy the lake! I didn't think we were going to be able to this year. Dave

CRANE DAY
by Dave Shearer 23 May '23

23 May '23

Crane Day is fast approaching! I don't know of any other crane days this year unless someone else feels like going through the massive headache of putting one on. The Matt Larson Memorial Crane day is Tuesday, June 6. I have several boats on the list. It is going to be quite the undertaking so please make sure you are completely prepared. I still haven't received the following documents from some people. We need ALL the documents (except the optional Autopay form) BEFORE you can launch on Crane Day. * Boat Slip Lease * Copy of CURRENT boat registration * Copy of proof of insurance * Optional Autopay form All balances need to be current too. A few other items to be prepared for (more to come): * You MUST be here or you must have someone here in your place. Also make sure you have plenty of help * Your motor MUST work or plan on sculling or paddling to your designated slip. * Plan on taking Stands, trailers or cradles home. We will not be storing stands at the marina. If cradles are left behind, storage fees will apply. * Boats must be currently registered with stickers properly displayed. * Make sure you have good dock lines. Dock lines age quickly out here. * If you want a dock box, they must be approved in advance. The black dock boxes are the approved ones. They must be fastened with stainless lag bolts with stainless washers. They cannot overhang the main dockway more than 5' * Many of you left dock boxes behind. Most of them rotted away or blew into the lake over the winter. It is very unlikely they are still on the dock. * Hoses must be of the approved type. NO HOSES WITH ALUMINUM CONNECTIONS!! These seize to the faucets very quickly and cannot be removed afterwards. They must have brass or stainless fittings. * Please do not raise your mast before craning it. It makes it more challenging to put it in with the crane. There will also be some sort of Celebration of Life for Matt Larson just after crane day. We are working on putting that together so more details will come later. Thanks Dave
