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.
