Water to the marina
by Dave Shearer 29 Dec '20

29 Dec '20

Unfortunately the water line to the marina failed over by the Tooele exit. The park will be without water until at least January 8th while our supplier fixes the line. We do have outhouses at the park in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience. Dave

Road Repairs to Marina
by Dave Shearer 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Well, as most of you are aware of by now, our road to the marina was damaged in the earthquake last Spring. As time went on the failures became worse. We have initiated the first round of repairs to stabilize the road. But the repairs were started too late to get asphalt on the road. This will mean we will be contending with road base all winter until asphalt can be laid back down this Spring. There are some humps at the transition areas between pavement and road base. Also the road base is going to be more difficult to plow so please use extra caution when driving on the road this winter. Thanks Dave

SEASON CONTEST!
by Dave Shearer 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

It has been a tough year for all of us. So time to have a little fun. The Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina is holding a contest. And we want to motivate all our slip renters to join in this contest. For several years it was a tradition to decorate and light up the boats for the holiday season. I want to start that tradition up again with a bang. We will be holding a contest starting Thanksgiving Day through New Years Day. Decorate your boat! Light them up with Christmas lights! I know that many of you that may want to participate do not have power slips and therefore cannot light up your boats. So we will have three categories: 1. Best decorated boat - non power slip 2. Best lighted boat - power slip. 3. Best decorated boat overall. Every boat that participates will receive $25.00 discount on their slip rent for December. The winners of each category will receive (in lieu of the $25.00 discount) Free rent for December. Start now! Let's get in the spirit!

Fw: [catalina30] The passing of an icon - Frank Butler
by B.T.Pratt 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Catalina Sailboat Owners, Sad news from Catalina Yachts for sailors worldwide. . . Woodland Hills, CA – November 15, 2020 It is with great sadness that we announce that Frank Willis Butler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Catalina Yachts, passed away November 15, 2020 in Westlake Village, CA, due to unexpected complications from a recent illness. We extend our most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Frank’s family. Our thoughts are with them at this most difficult time. A sailing icon and industry “kingspoke”, Frank Butler has introduced hundreds of thousands of people to sailing during his lifetime. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Frank have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Frank leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Catalina Yachts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born in California in 1928, Frank’s line of popular sailboats put more than 85,000 Catalinas on the water throughout the yachting world. His boatbuilding career began in 1962, when he contracted with a Southern California builder for a 21’ daysailer. The builder was unable to finish the boat, and gave Butler the tooling. He completed building the boat himself, found he enjoyed the process, and agreed to take over the company. A few years later he founded Catalina Yachts, which has grown to become the largest builder of fiberglass production sailboats in the United States, a position it holds to this day. A key to Butler’s success in the sailboat industry was his attention to Catalina customers. Handling warranty issues himself, owners were nearly always surprised and reassured to get a personal call from Frank to discuss their concerns. Butler was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2013. In recognition of his support of the Congressional Cup, a world match racing event, Long Beach Yacht Club awarded him the Crimson Blazer. He was also a founder and lifelong member of the Westlake Yacht Club in Westlake, CA. Following his graduation from Glendale High School, he served in the US Navy. He met his wife, Jean, at a school dance; they recently celebrated their 71st anniversary. Frank is survived by Jean, their four daughters, Deborah Reese, Mary Linn, Nancy Bear, and Karen Butler; three sons, David, Robert and Steve; 20 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Awakening the joy of sailing for so many people in past generations, Frank Butler’s sailing legacy will certainly continue well into in future generations. _._,_._,_ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

IMPORTANT - Road Repair
by Dave Shearer 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

As many of you know, the earthquake last March did quite a bit of damage to the marina frontage road. The road continues to fail daily with some areas getting quite bad and other areas just now showing the signs of damage. It has been decided to repair as much of the road now as possible. Staker Parsons has been awarded the contract for these repairs. The repairs are estimated to take about two weeks. This is a large project as much of the 1.75 mile road is now damaged. The original plan was to close the marina for much of this time but that has now changed. Staker feels they can keep the road open during the duration of the project but restricting traffic. This means there will be lane closures as well as flagman stopping traffic. This could mean delays getting to the marina. As I email you this notice, Staker is putting up signage warning of lane restrictions and delays in getting into the marina. The project starts Monday. I will keep you posted as this project develops. But, because of cold temperatures, we may not pave the road until spring. This may mean the road will consist of large stretches of road base. Dave

Turkey Fest POSTPONED
by Dave Shearer 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

It saddens me, but I also expected to have to make this decision. Turkey Fest will NOT be cancelled but instead POSTPONED. There is just no safe way to run Turkey Fest this November 20th. The COVID numbers have been increasing dramatically. The restrictions we are under as well as the space we have to utilize just doesn't make Turkey Fest feasible right now. There is some good news and hope with Pfizer's announcement yesterday regarding the promise of their new vaccine. So, again, I will not cancel Turkey Fest this year. I'm just going to postpone it to a date to be determined. Maybe sometime in December or January when I hope we all have something to celebrate. Thanks Dave
