Dave, I agree. Your emails are very helpful and informative. The communication is terrific. Even the occasional early April Fools joke!

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users
_Current Conditions_ Current Lake Level 4195.5 and rising quickly now. Marina mouth 4.9' at optimum Water Temperature is currently 35 Degrees
_Forecast_ It is too hard to predict whether the lake will have a net positive flow for 2008 yet. That will be much easier to predict at the end of March. Yet there are some good indicators that it will be a good year.
* Stream flows into Great Salt Lake are running at 90 to 129% of normal. *
* We are forecasted to be in an "Unusual Moist Spell" for the Bear River Drainage and in a "Very Most Spell" for the Weber-Ogden and Provo River Drainage for the next three months. *
* Soil Mosture Content is "Above Normal" *
* Although most of the GSL Drainange area is still listed as in a severe drought we are forecasted to see improvement over the next three months.
All this points to a very good spring for the Great Salt Lake. It also indicates that, unlike four years ago, most of the precipitation should flow to the lake rather than being absorbed into the ground.
_Other Updates_ We are still working hard on the dredging situation. Right now everything looks good for dredging this spring. BUT, I want to emphasize that we could hit a snag at anytime that could postpone these plans.
The mast hoist has arrived in Utah and has been painted. We should see it being installed in the next few weeks.
All codes and locks in the marina have been changed. If you do not have your 2008 slip contracts in, please get them in quickly. Parking
Pass enforcement has begun.
If you would like to see these weekly updates in email form, please let me know. If not, also let me know. If enough of you like this format I will continue to send them out. I am also working on a new edition of the "Marina News" that will be more in-depth. This will hopefully be posted on the GSLYC web site.
OH, AND NONE OF THIS EMAIL WAS A JOKE.
Thank you Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake Marina ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --
