Marina Weather Station

15 Nov '07

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users The GSL Marina weather station now shows up on the mesonet. www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/current/meso.wfrnt.php It is a litle tricky to click on to since it overlays with QB4 BEACH (MAGNA). But if you click on to the site you will see the data and graphs on the lower screen. The marina site name is AS768 KF6RAL-6 Great Salt Lake. BEACH (MAGNA) and the marina site, athough they look like they are in the same area, are not close together. The BEACH (MAGNA) site is in the Kennecott complex near the smoke stack. Our site is right at the marina office. TURKEY CUP If you plan on attending this Saturday's Turkey cup but have not RSVP'd yet, please do so. I will be buying turkeys tomorrow and will only buy enough for the RSVP list. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina

Fw: Wing Ding - Al Cohen
by D WEIR 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi everyone - Thought you might like to know where Wing Ding, once on the GSL, is sailing now. Impressive Cohen's too. --Diana Challenge We're friends and fans of the folks at Challenged America, a group that has done a lot for disabled sailors. We received this last night and we're happy to pass on the exciting news. <http://www.sailinganarchy.com/fringe/2007/images/kiwi%2035.jpg>Challenged America, the San Diego -based sailing program for kids and adults with disabilities, unveiled its most recent vessel donation at the start of the first Hot Rum Series race, Nov. 5, 2007) in San Diego. This 1990's race-winning sailboat, a recently restored Kiwi 35 named "Lift Off," was donated by Alan Cohen of Salt Lake City, Utah, and was sailed by a crew of nine, to include skipper Keith Ericson (volunteer) and Challenged America cofounder and blinded sailor Urban Miyares. "What a fantastic and challenging donation. I'm not sure yet if 'Lift Off' received the baptism bathing or we, the crew did on this, our first race,," Miyares said. "this 35 foot winged racing sailboat, having a beam of 14 feet with the wings down, is like a tennis court at the dock, but on the water it sails like an oversized 49er . . . all 2,850 pounds of her. We sure got a lesson in the winds of 8- to 14-knots in the race, and learned quite a bit. Definitely a next step-up, a real physical and sailing challenge for sailors with disabilities, mostly those who are ready to test the limits of their disability and sailing abilities. Not a boat for everyone, disabled or able-bodied." Thanks to Da Woody<http://www.da-woody.com/Photoindex.htm> for the photo. Challenged America, founded in 1978 by disabled veterans, was created to further the life experiences of individuals with disabilities and enhance rehabilitation through sailing and boating activities. A charitable, 501(c)(3) program of the all-volunteer Disabled Businesspersons Association, the program provides learn-to-sail and advanced sailing opportunities for kids and adults seeking to further their rehabilitation, work activities, and to participate in the mainstream. Funding for this year-round program comes from charitable gifts, corporate sponsorship, donations of quality vessels (both sail and power) and vehicles,and the generous contributions by the general public. In recent years the Challenged America program has been forced to reef its sails with a rising overhead costs to serve the high demand for its services and inability to find accessible docks in San Diego bay. But with the help of San Diego sponsors, such as Fiddler's Green restaurant, Koehler Kraft, Sunroad Marina, Bobby and Dan at Cays Show Dock Sales, and others, the Challenged America program is building its board and program structure in making ready to hoist the program's sails again to meet the growing demand of sailors with disabilities. For additional information on Challenged America, its donation program (providing. as a "user" charity, a full market value tax-deduction on most vessels and vehicles donated), and how you or your company can help as a board member, supporter, sponsor or contributor, call or e-mail Urban Miyares, Challenged America, at (619) 594-8806, e-mail Port(a)ChallengedAmerica.org<mailto:Port@ChallengedAmerica.org>, or visit www.ChallengedAmerica.org<http://www.challengedamerica.org/>. 11/06/07

Mast Dropping - Crane Day - News
by gslharbormaster 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

GSL Slip Renters It looks like we have some boats to help drop masts this Sunday. Thank you Bryant and J.R. I also have two boats who want to utilize this service. Mast dropping party will be noon, this Sunday on 'E' dock. I will try to have some chili and bowls ready for participants. If you are planning on dropping your mast during this time on Sunday please let me know. Also, if you are planning on craning out next Saturday, please let me know. I need to know if you are vacating or keeping your slip. I need to know if you are wanting space in secure or unsecure storage. Several people have expressed interest but I have yet to have confirmations. Space is limited. Several people are on the list for crane day yet I only have confirmation of four boats. If you are planning on pulling please email me at dshearer(a)gslyc.org or call me at 801-209-9142. I will bring the smallest crane possible out here. If you are planning on pulling but have not confirmed, the crane may be too small to pull your boat. GSLYC will be hosting the annual Pumpkin Patch regatta tomorrow. Skippers meeting will be at 10:30am with the regatta starting in the back bay at noon. Kids activities start at 3:00pm at the marina pavillion and the pot luck dinner starts at 6:00pm at the marina pavillion. Trick-or-treating for the kids will be at sunset. Please light or decorate your boats if you plan on handing out candy so the kids will know where to go. Lake Level seems to have stabilized and may actually be rising. This is good news since we usually do not stabilize until mid to late November. After this weekend we would like to start clearing the docks for the winter so snow removal will be easier. Any assistance in removing hoses, dinghies and unnecessary items from the docks will be appreciated. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina
