GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. What a great storm! Even though the “official” moisture totals, as reported at the airport, puts us at 83% towards our goals for October, the stations at the marina both report we are at 100% for all of October. And the snowpack total for the Great Salt Lake Drainage area is 183% And there is another storm on the horizon next week. We have a couple events this weekend and the weather is looking great. This Saturday the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club is hosting their annual Pumpkin Patch Regatta and Social (as well as trick-or-treating on the docks for the kids). Visit www.gslyc.org for more information And on Sunday we have the Mast Drop Party at noon. At 3pm is the First Annual Pumpkin Patch Radio Controlled Sailboat Regatta. We hope to have a Nirvana fleet as well as an Open fleet. WATER IS BEING SHUT OFF FOR THE YEAR. It looks like temperatures will stay warm enough to keep the water on until October 30th. On the 30th, though, we will turn the water off to the docks and shut down the pump-a-head. This means this is your last weekend to wash boats and sails and pump out your holding tanks. PLEASE! Do not forget to remove your hoses and other objects from the dock by November 4th. CRANE DAY. The last Crane Day for the year is Friday, November 2nd at 9am SHARP. If you are not on the crane list please get on it ASAP. I am making the final decision on which size crane to bring out. The larger the crane, the greater the cost. And if you are on the list but won’t be making it please email me and let me know. THE YACHT CLUB BUOYS NEED TO BE PULLED FOR THE SEASON. I would like to plan on pulling the buoys on Sunday, November 4th at around noon. If you are available to help, are willing to get dirty, want a ride on Rescue One, and want to see parts of the lake you may not have seen, we can use your help. We have room for about six people max. Please let me know. It will take about two to three hours of your time. DAVE’s ANNUAL TURKEY SOCIAL. I am hosting my annual Turkey Social on Saturday, November 17th. Last year we deep fried 8 turkeys. And there was nothing left afterwards. The weather was great, the patio was packed, and the food that everyone brought was awesome. More information will be sent out about this event but RSVP’s are welcome as soon as possible so I can start making plans for all the supplies and turkeys that will be needed.
