SAILFEST
by Dave Shearer 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Sailfest is upon us! The biggest event at the marina kicks off Friday night with a barbecue and a movie on the lawn. Saturday is packed full of events including a breakfast in the morning cooked by the volunteer Emergency Response team. There is also the cardboard boat race (a spectator favorite), kids jump house activities and then an evening dinner and live band. If you get hungry for lunch don't forget about the Sunset Galley restaurant now located by the visitor center at the marina. He has very good food, snow cones and ice cream. Sunday may be a bit windy but there is the Utah Cup offshore race and RC racing in the afternoon. See you this weekend. Dave

Eardley Spit Cruise - POSTPONED
by Dave Shearer 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

I am officially pulling the plug on the Eardley Spit Cruise happening this Saturday. We will postpone it to another date . . . . maybe the Saturday after Sailfest. The wind will build all day tomorrow with an approaching low pressure. This will make Eardley Spit a lumpy anchorage and make it difficult to get people to and from their boats as well as make it difficult to make a landing on the spit. Updates for a new date will be forthcoming very soon. Dave
