Heaters on Boats
by gslharbormaster 03 Jan '08

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users RE: Heaters on boats in Secured and Unsecured Dry Storage. We can no longer allow heaters to be plugged in and kept on boats in the dry storage area. We are constantly blowing circuit breakers out here. Therefore, all plugs have been unplugged from the dry storage area. This will allow the electricity to be up for the use of power tools. I'm sorry for this inconvenience but it has become unmanageable. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina

Weather Forecast - Significant Storm
by gslharbormaster 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users A significant storm is Barreling down on Great Salt Lake. This storm will be bring very strong winds and a potential for substantial rain and snow to our area. The current charts show strong gusts possible by 11am tomorrow followed by very strong winds beginning around 2pm and lasting until early Saturday morning. These winds have the potential to cause damage at the marina and is a significant risk to anyone boating on the Great Salt Lake. I anticipate we will be posting a "Storm Warning" or "Hurricane Force Warning" by tomorrow morning for the whole Great Salt Lake area. You may want to consider the strength of your dock lines; Whether your boat is secured and prepared for strong winds; Whether all items inside or outside your boat are secured. I am writing this in advance since anytime we receive significant wind or moisture at the marina it seems to have an impact on our power. I will keep you posted on this storm as it approaches and impacts the marina. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina

Crane Day at GSL
by Dave Shearer 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

GSL Slip Renters. I know many of you have pulled your boats for the winter to work on them. I thought I would give you a time frame for the spring crane day so you might better plan on finishing your boat projects. Spring Crane Day will be Saturday, March 15th. Hopefully, for those wanting to utilize this crane day, the weather will be fair and warm so you can complete your projects. I will send out another notice as we get closer to crane day. At that time I will ask for RSVP's and boat weights for planning the size of the crane. The new mast hoist should be in well before that so you will not have to pay for extra crane time to raise your masts. Thank you Dave Shearer

Navigation Notice - December 30, 2007
by gslharbormaster 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

NAVIGATION NOTICE December 30th, 2007 MISSING BUOY. Deep Channel Buoy #R2 broke loose during last night's storm and is now on the beach. When the waves subside we will try to retrieve it, prepare new ground tackle, and re-set the buoy. This may take a few days though. Until then you will need to use the green buoy #G1 (with green flashing light) as your guide to pass safely over the reef. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina

Appreciations

I have chosen not to use this email format for anything other than official notices or GSL marina business. But I do want to thank all of you for your warm wishes and support over this last difficult week. I also appreciate the marina community and the YC for their support through this last year and the trying times with my father as he deteriorated. His journey on earth has ended and another one has begun for him. Again, Thank you all for your support, friendship and understanding. And now it is time for me to get back to work Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina

Storm Update
by gslharbormaster 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users We have yet to receive any snow at the marina from today's storm. But the most recent charts show the marina right in line for serious Lake Effect snow tonight. Up to ten inches of snow is possible at the marina overnight. This, of course, can put some boats at risk as the weight of the snow pushes scuppers below waterline. We will keep you posted IF the snow develops. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina

Storm Update
by gslharbormaster 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users Merry Christmas from the Great Salt Lake! The storm rolled through here yesterday afternoon bringing a few inches of snow and 40knot winds. Most of the snow has now blown away. Yet, it is very icy out at the marina. We have a Small Craft Advisory up today. The wind is just pleasant at the marina. But, because of significant wind out by Hat Island, waves will continue to be moderate from the north. This SCA is mostly aimed at the duck hunting boats, scullers, kayakers and small day sailors (yes, we do get them year round). Wave conditions should moderate by afternoon. There appears to be no boat damage but we will do a more thorough check this afternoon. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina
