GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users;
It is no longer advisable to use the Reef
Channel buoys. Storm surge can change the depth over the reef in a
short period of time.
If you choose to leave the marina area and head out
on the lake, it is advised that you now use the Deep Channel
buoys.
Please keep a close eye on the lake depth as the
marina mouth is now quite shallow. At 4196.5 lake level the marina mouth
will have a maximum usable depth of 6.0 feet. This means that if you use
the ideal approach through the marina you will see some shallow spots at six
feet. There are shallower spots if you do not pick the ideal
path.
Attached is a map and coordinates of the Deep
Channel and Reef Channel buoys. But, remember, we do not
advise using the Reef Channel for the rest of the 2007 sailing
season. We will probably pull 'R-R2' and 'R-R4" buoys sometime in
August.
Thank you
GSL Harbormaster
