GSL Slip Renters,

Yesterday I was walking the docks in preparation for linseeding them next week.  I noticed several boats that were not currently registered or were registered in another state.  ULTIMATE 20 FLEET!  Several of you need to get your boats registered in the state of Utah as well as get your stickers on your boats!

And there are several other boats on each dock that do not have current year stickers on their boats or still have bow numbers from other states.  I saw a couple boats with 2010 stickers.  If you have a sticker that is older than 2013 I’m guessing you will be getting your second or third citation in as many years.

I have it on good authority that the rangers will be coming out this week or next and walking the docks looking for registration compliance.  They WILL be giving citations.

I don’t want to see people getting citations for registration issues or “Failure to Display”.  Remember, it is not enough to register your boat.  It must also have the stickers on.

I am not law enforcement.  I cannot do anything to postpone a citation.  So please do not call me or email me with a reason why your boat is not registered or how your stickers are at home on your desk.  I cannot do anything for you.  PLEASE just get them registered right away and get the stickers on the boat.

FOR THOSE BOATS WITH STICKERS THAT ARE A YEAR OR MORE OLDER, I’m guessing that it is likely those boats will be seized and taken to ‘L’ dock within the next few weeks.  Sorry.

ALSO, As I mentioned above, we will begin linseeding the docks next week.  This is one of our annual maintenance items.  To make this easier, if you could please remove all personal items from your docks (this does not include power cords, hoses or dock boxes).  Please, if you could temporarily removed dinghies, spars, dock carts and other items so that we can make the linseed project go much quicker and safer.

And one last reminder that the marina mouth will be closed tomorrow so that the tugboat LUCIN can do some work in the mouth.

Thank you.
