GSL Marina Users and Slip Renters The weather station is now up and running properly. You can access the data on the internet now. Go to the following site: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=KF6RAL-6 This data updates every 2 minutes. Sometime next week you should be able to go to the mesonet and click on a dedicated GSL Marina site for the same information. This weather site is located at the marina office so you can now know what it is actually doing at the marina. We are now working on having a site at the Antelope Island marina. Thank you to Joe Latchez and NOAA for providing us the with all the equipment and the site. I hope to have the Marina News finished soon too. It has been revamped and contains a lot of new information including this weather site and many others. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina

Fw: Wing Ding - Al Cohen

Hi everyone - Thought you might like to know where Wing Ding, once on the GSL, is sailing now. Impressive Cohen's too. --Diana Challenge We're friends and fans of the folks at Challenged America, a group that has done a lot for disabled sailors. We received this last night and we're happy to pass on the exciting news. <http://www.sailinganarchy.com/fringe/2007/images/kiwi%2035.jpg>Challenged America, the San Diego -based sailing program for kids and adults with disabilities, unveiled its most recent vessel donation at the start of the first Hot Rum Series race, Nov. 5, 2007) in San Diego. This 1990's race-winning sailboat, a recently restored Kiwi 35 named "Lift Off," was donated by Alan Cohen of Salt Lake City, Utah, and was sailed by a crew of nine, to include skipper Keith Ericson (volunteer) and Challenged America cofounder and blinded sailor Urban Miyares. "What a fantastic and challenging donation. I'm not sure yet if 'Lift Off' received the baptism bathing or we, the crew did on this, our first race,," Miyares said. "this 35 foot winged racing sailboat, having a beam of 14 feet with the wings down, is like a tennis court at the dock, but on the water it sails like an oversized 49er . . . all 2,850 pounds of her. We sure got a lesson in the winds of 8- to 14-knots in the race, and learned quite a bit. Definitely a next step-up, a real physical and sailing challenge for sailors with disabilities, mostly those who are ready to test the limits of their disability and sailing abilities. Not a boat for everyone, disabled or able-bodied." Thanks to Da Woody<http://www.da-woody.com/Photoindex.htm> for the photo. Challenged America, founded in 1978 by disabled veterans, was created to further the life experiences of individuals with disabilities and enhance rehabilitation through sailing and boating activities. A charitable, 501(c)(3) program of the all-volunteer Disabled Businesspersons Association, the program provides learn-to-sail and advanced sailing opportunities for kids and adults seeking to further their rehabilitation, work activities, and to participate in the mainstream. Funding for this year-round program comes from charitable gifts, corporate sponsorship, donations of quality vessels (both sail and power) and vehicles,and the generous contributions by the general public. In recent years the Challenged America program has been forced to reef its sails with a rising overhead costs to serve the high demand for its services and inability to find accessible docks in San Diego bay. But with the help of San Diego sponsors, such as Fiddler's Green restaurant, Koehler Kraft, Sunroad Marina, Bobby and Dan at Cays Show Dock Sales, and others, the Challenged America program is building its board and program structure in making ready to hoist the program's sails again to meet the growing demand of sailors with disabilities. For additional information on Challenged America, its donation program (providing. as a "user" charity, a full market value tax-deduction on most vessels and vehicles donated), and how you or your company can help as a board member, supporter, sponsor or contributor, call or e-mail Urban Miyares, Challenged America, at (619) 594-8806, e-mail Port(a)ChallengedAmerica.org<mailto:Port@ChallengedAmerica.org>, or visit www.ChallengedAmerica.org<http://www.challengedamerica.org/>. 11/06/07

Due to the heavy traffic and changes associated with crane day, we want to take one more day to process the November slip/storage charges. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
