Lightning Strikes Sailboat
by Dave Shearer 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

This video was shared with me by one of our slip renters. It shows the effect of lightning striking a sailboat in Boston harbor. We have a lot of lightning strikes on Great Salt Lake during the summer months. I have personally seen one of our buoys struck by lightning. It is nothing to mess around with. Please take weather forecasts and dark clouds seriously. https://www.cnn.com/videos/weather/2019/07/08/boston-boat-lightning-strike-… Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Park Manager Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Park 801-209-9142 [skull and crossbones]

GSL Park & Marina Management Change
by Dave Shearer 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

I just thought I would put everyone up to speed on all the changes at the Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina over the last five months. Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina used to be a complex park with Antelope Island State Park and Jeremy Shaw was the manager of both parks. In February we were notified that Utah State Parks was showing some interest in pulling the parks apart and making them separate parks again. That happened in July with Jim Wells becoming the new Park manager of Great Salt Lake State Parks. Soon afterwards Jim was offered a job as the park manager for Goblin Valley State Parks. Jim left for those duties about six weeks ago. Utah State Parks made me the acting manager until the hiring process could be completed for a new park manager. That process is complete now. I have been named as the new Park Manager of Great Salt Lake State Park and Marina. I will also continue my duties as Harbor Master too. We will begin the process of looking for another full-time person to help out at the Park. I hope to have that process completed within a month so we can become fully staffed again. Until then I may not be in my office as much as I used to be but please remember I am only an email or phone call away. Thank you Dave Dave Shearer Park Manager Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Park 801-209-9142 [skull and crossbones]

Harbormaster Eardley Spit Cruise
by Dave Shearer 31 May '19

31 May '19

Here we go! It is just a few days away now. The annual Harbor Master Eardley Spit Cruise. And the weather forecast has consistently looked awesome! Partly cloudy with a high in the low 70's. Great sailing weather. We will have a captains meeting at 10:30 at the pavilion for those that have not been to Eardley Spit before. It is a simple sail but there a re a couple tricky issues to safely get there. We will have very minimal transportation available to get you from your boat to the spit so please bring your own transportation. I will be providing the main course for the barbecue but side dishes are very welcome and appreciated. Beach games will be provided and set up. IF YOU HAVEN'T RSVPD YET PLEASE DO SO. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE MAIN COURSE BARBECUE FOOD TO BRING.

One of our marina community was tragically taken too early. Dennis Gwyther was gunned down just across the Idaho border as he was commuting to his job as a flight attendant. He was shot while driving on I-84 and died shortly after. Dennis was part of the Great Salt Lake community, the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club and owns a boat here named Beerly Behaving. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family
