GSL Slip Renters
and Marina Users.
I’ve been kicking
some ideas around recently while thinking about how low the lake levels may be
this fall.
One of the ideas
that keeps coming back to me is to host an Eardley Spit Cruise Day while most
boats can still get out.
So here is the
Idea. On either Saturday, June 22nd or Saturday July
6th, I would like to host an Eardley Spit Cruise Day. This
would be similar to the Road Trip series I did in past years. This would
be an opportunity for the marina community and our/your guests to see a part of
the lake that you may not normally get to see; to explore new anchorages.
This would be an organized cruise/sail out to Eardley Spit for a mid-day picnic
(potluck) as well as volleyball and bocce ball on the spit. Go explore the
spit and many of its wonders and wash ashore mysteries.
This event would
be a marina wide event hosted by the Harbor Master and would be open to all
regardless of club affiliation or craft (bring your day sailors, boats, kayaks,
Hawaiian canoe’s, motorboats, whatever safely floats on the Great Salt
Lake). For those that may not have a way to get to shore from their boats
I will bring a runabout to shuttle people. I’m sure others, who have
runabouts would also be willing to help.
This would mainly
be a day cruise. But for those that want to stay overnight, Eardley Spit
usually makes a good, protected anchorage.
Please give me
your feedback so I can decide whether we want to hold this event or some
activities that would be nice to do.
If this is a
success we may plan another cruise to another Great Salt Lake
destination.
Thank
you,
Dave
