GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users
Tomorrow morning is a busy day at the Great Salt
Lake Marina
If you have recreation plans for the morning hours
at the marina you may want to postpone them until afternoon.
Tomorrow is the day we do the Safety and Great Salt
Lake Orientation Clinic for the Brine Shrimp Industry.
This clinic will include Life Flight Landing Zones
and Evacuation. This will entail bringing a Life Flight helicopter into
the marina which will complicate parking in the south parking lot to some
degree.
The marina will remain open during this time to
regular traffic but you may find parking issues somewhat crowded. This is
a mandatory clinic for all participants in the brine shrimp industry. Since this
is the first year it has been hosted here and to this degree we just don't know
how this will disrupt the regular use of the marina. You should have no
problems getting to the docks or your boats though.
This clinic will be focused on the brine shrimp
harvest, boating safety, the Safe Harbor concept for all marinas on the
lake, the current status of all marinas on the lake, fall and winter weather,
storms, waves, life flight landing zones and evacuation procedures, Mayday
procedure and radio use.
As a GSL Marina user you are welcome to
attend. There may be some valuable information for your recreation or
Great Salt Lake interests. But please realize that the focus of this
clinic is to serve the brine shrimpers that are about to begin their
season.
The clinic runs from 8:30am to 12:30pm. After
that, the marina should return to its normal kayos.
For those that are concerned about brine shrimpers
operating out of the Great Salt Lake Marina, do not worry. This is not
going to happen. Nor is this the purpose of the meeting. We just
happen to be the closest marina on "Neutral Ground" that have the facilities to
handle this clinic for the brine shrimp industry.
Thank you, for your understanding and
cooperation.
