CRANE DAY - IMPORTANT
by Dave Shearer 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

We have some wind coming our way at the end of this week. For that reason I am bumping the crane up to earlier Thursday morning. We are going to make our best shot at getting everyone in on Thursday. That is 54 boats to get in on one day. If all our volunteers could plan to be here around 7:30am we can get an earlier shot and get boats moving. We are hoping to get the crane here Wednesday evening to set up. Let me know if you can make it or if it is a problem.

DREDGING
by Dave Shearer 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

It looks like the contractors are going to start up dredging again this afternoon. They had to do some adjustments to their equipment but it looks like the adjustments will work. We learned from the dredging attempts on Saturday that they cannot control where the pipe floats to while dredging. This means that the path inside the marina may well be blocked off while dredging happens. For this reason we are going to try and schedule specific times during the day that people can exit the marina to go sailing or to return back to the marina. The dredgers will also monitor channel 81 and can move out of the way to accommodate you coming in or out of the marina mouth. But realize every time they have to shut down the crane for a boat entering or exiting a marina means they cannot dredge. I will let you know when we work out a time schedule.

DREDGING - APRIL FOOL (NOT)
by Dave Shearer 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

I should have never sent out an email about dredging on April Fool's Day. Nobody believes me. They started dredging (test) this morning. They have found a couple snags but should have it all fixed very shortly. Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

On Monday we will begin staging for the upcoming crane day. That will mean limited access to the south parking lot. If you are on the crane day and have a boat/trailer that you need to bring out to the marina please plan on bringing them out after this Friday.

28 Mar '17

I tried to send this email out last week while I was on vacation but the server filter rejected it. So this is a belated email I am proud to announce that our own Leroy Carter was Canonized last Sunday at St. Mark's Cathedral. This is a big deal!

LAKE LEVEL PREDICTION
by Dave Shearer 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Ok. It is time for the Harbor Master annual lake level prediction. I am estimating 4196.2 to 4197 feet msl for this season. That would put 6.6' to 7.4' depth at the marina mouth PRE-DREDGE. We are on par, snowpack level wise, with the 2011 season. And we have received all the annual precipitation equivalent of May 11. We are having a banner year!
