GSL and Antelope Slip Renters Two important pieces of news. The first one is that we have had a power failure with the marina mouth light. This includes the stadium light that lights up the marina mouth as well as the green entrance light. The red entrance light still works. We will get the other light repaired as soon as possible. Second: It is slip contract time again. REMEMBER! ALL slip contracts and ALL credit card autopay forms EXPIRE on DECEMBER 31st. NO EXEPTIONS! In order to continue your slip contract AND your credit card autopay withdrawals WE NEED THE NEW FORMS. We will be sending these forms out the first week of November. By email. We have a new way to make it easier for you and me. You will receive an automated email today that will have all your current information (no sensitive or secure information will be included). When you receive the email check the information we have on file for you. If it is correct IGNORE THE EMAIL AND DO NOT RESPOND. If the information is NOT correct please correct the information on the email form and then follow the instructions on returning the email back to me. My computer will be automatically updated with the correct information. This may include email addresses, phone numbers or home addresses. This will aid us in getting the new contract information out to you. Again, Only respond back if there is information that needs to be corrected. For those that have a substantial PAST DUE balance, we CANNOT renew your contract until balances have been brought down. If you are not able to bring your balances down by December 31st your contract will expire and WILL NOT BE RENEWED. Please plan to have your boats removed from the marina by December 31st. Again, you will ALL receive the email requesting updated information. EVEN IF YOU NO LONGER HAVE A BOAT IN THE MARINA, you may receive this email. It is because you are still on the email list. IF you do not have a boat in the marina and do not want to receive emails anymore please let me know. If you no longer have a boat in the marina but still want to be on the email list you may ignore the email. Nothing will change. Once we have the updated information we will send another email out at the beginning of November on instructions on how to renew your slip contract. For those that have a substantial balance you will probably not receive the November email but rather a contract termination letter. If you want a statement sent to you please let us know and that will be done. If you think that you have been paying by credit card all the time check your credit card statements. Some of you that always have autopay in the past never sent your forms in and you have a substantial balance. Hope this was all clear as mud or as clear as the Great Salt Lake is during the winter during the algae plume. On a good note, the lake is almost done dropping for the year. We will likely only lose another 2/10ths of a foot. On the bad news, the reef is now shallow. DO NOT TRY TO CROSS IT. The reef over by Saltair (known as Bry's Bump, or more properly known as the Goggins Reef) is very shallow again. Make sure you follow the SALTAIR RULE; do not sail so you can see the east side (actually the north side) of the Saltair building. Next event at the Great Salt Lake Marina is the annual Pumpkin Patch Social on October 27th. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
