Marina Mouth Work Crew
by gslharbormaster 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. We are investigating options for dredging the marina and marina mouth. This process could take some time though. In the meantime, a few of us were wondering if there was interest in the marina community to form a work group to try to remove rocks, sand and mud from the hump in the mouth. This process would be similar to our efforts a few years back. The efforts would require a few volunteer divers, buckets, volunteer swimmers to help remove depris from the shallow area in the marina mouth. We are considering this Saturday and Sunday if we can find the volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, please contact me via this email or by the below numbers: Marina Office 801-250-1898 Cell 801-209-9142 Thank You GSL Harbormaster

Parking Lot Striping
by gslharbormaster 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users We will be restriping the parking lot next Monday, August 13th. This will be an all day process. The striping will look very similar to the existing striping with some minor exceptions. These exceptions should not effect slip renter parking. It is mainly to fix some congestion problems. In order to restripe the parking lot we will need your cooperation. We will close the north half of the parking lot on Sunday late evening. Parking will be restricted to the south half during Monday morning. In the afternoon we will re-open the north half and close the south half. The whole parking lot will be reopened by Monday night. We apologize for any inconvenience but it should make for an improvement when Duck Hunting season starts this fall. On another note. These birds that are migrating through and staining the boats are called Bank Swallows.They are not the Barn Swallows that build the nests in booms and make mud nests during the spring and summer. Of course, being Bank Swallows rather than Barn Swallows does not make any less obnoxious. These birds migrate through the marina through August and should be gone by early September. Just an FYI GSL Harbormaster

August 19th Parrothead Raft-up party
by ROCK A SIMPSON 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Sunday, August 19th - 'Parrothead Raft-Up Party' featuring the "Island Serenade" as our AIRCONDITIONED floating bar and host. We will have the party favors, Limbo, dancing, music, cash bar, micro-brew keg (with special reduced prices for all who raft-up). We will also have light hors'dourves, chips/dip, snacks on board at no extra cost. The plan will be to navigate Island Serenade to a deep water location about 4 miles out, then begin the raft-up on either side (don't forget your fenders & dock lines). This should be a good swimming event as well. There will be a freshwater wash down on Island Serenade. Skipper's meeting at 1100, then sail out to our location.
