Great Salt Lake Search
by LINDA J KELLEY 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Dave, On Wednesday, the Coast Guard Auxiliary is presenting a seminar (training session) at the Utah Lake marina on water search and rescue for the State Park ranger corps. In your recent report you referred to a search and rescue event on The Great Salt Lake that lost several hours of productive time. Knowing more of the details would prove informative when presented at tomorrow's session. Please email me a description of the event so I can have the Auxiliary presenters discuss it as part of the training session. Larry Kelley

Trashed Marina
by gslharbormaster 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users The park staff recently walked all the docks. We were somewhat disappointed to find the docks being left in a trashed state recently. Some of the items found are: Crushed Beer Cans piled up Beer bottles left behind Epoxy cups with hardened epoxy boards 12v batteries Outboard motors rope/line razor blades cables life jackets shoes boat parts Coolers Propane tanks and cannisters etc. These items are spread throughout the docks yet 'K' dock seemed to have more than their usual share of clutter. Please remember that this is a public marina. Larry and his crew spend a great deal of time making sure the marina looks nice and clean. Also, please remember that this is a very windy place and any objects left on the dock can become hazardous flying objects. We would like these items cleaned up by the end of this weekend. Thank you Marina Management
