Marina Mouth Closure
by Dave Shearer 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

We will be doing some sounding in the marina mouth tomorrow. The easiest way for us to do this work is to shut down the mouth for a few hours starting late morning. The mouth should be open again by early afternoon. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone. Thanks Dave

Calling my Cell Phone
by Dave Shearer 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

I know this may be inconvenient for you but please understand the amount of solicitation calls to my personal cell phone has become outrageous. 90 percent of calls to my cell phone are now solicitation calls. And I have already had SEVERAL today alone. It has become a disruption to myself doing my job. So I have decided, if a name does not show up on my caller ID to let the call go to voice messaging on my personal cell phone. So PLEASE leave a message. I know the call is legit that way and will return it immediately unless I am in a meeting. It will also allow me to add you to my contact list. Again, I know this may be a bit inconvenient for you, but please understand this solicitation calling has become out of hand. Thanks, for understanding. Dave

New Weather Page.
by Dave Shearer 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

In working with Steve Rogowski at National Weather Station, he has created a new page to watch wind around the lake. Here is the link to it: https://rogowx.org/MesoWest/ The marina weather station as well as the Kennecott station that is located in the marina are both on this page but you will need to zoom in quite a bit to see them. Once you see one of the stations you can click on it and data for that station will come up. A link to this site is also at www.gslmarina.com<http://www.gslmarina.com> Then click on Resources, Then Weather/Water, then Rogowski Wind Map. Great Salt Lake State Park and National Weather Service have been working to make boating safer and more predictable on the lake. I hope it works. Dave

Marina Weather Station
by Dave Shearer 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Some good news. We were able to finally replace the marina weather station. You can now see temperature, dew point, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure and rain again. The site to view this is http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=KF6RAL-6 Or you can go there by going to www.gslmarina.com<http://www.gslmarina.com>, then clicking on Resource, then clicking on Marina Weather Station. We are also talking to the National Weather Service to get our weather station back up on the Mesonet site. Until that you can pull up https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?obs=true&wfo=slc And zooming in until you see the Kennecott station in the marina parking lot. At that point ckick on the dot on the map in the marina and it will give you the data for that station. That station is located right next to my fifth wheel in the marina parking lot. Good luck Dave

Looking to Get Out of the Heat?
by Dave Shearer 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Is it hot in the city? Think about coming out to the lake this weekend. We are consistently cooler than the valley and we have a nice northerly wind every day around noon. Come out to the lake this weekend. Go sailing. The Salty Shore Snack Shack is open again. Enjoy a simple lunch or a snow cone. Get out and just enjoy the cooler temperatures. Go sailing . . . paddle boarding . . . floating. Summer is coming to a close. Get out and enjoy the lake. Just avoid the reef.
