Hurricane Force Warning Friday night
by Dave Shearer 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users; Hurricane Force.jpg Hurricane Force Warning - Friday Night Here we go again! Another strong storm is heading our way Friday. This storm, at this time, is forecasted to bring very strong winds again to the Great Salt Lake Marina. It does not appear we will see quite as strong winds as the last one. But we could still see winds over 75mph. If you have not gone out and checked or replaced your dock lines I suggest you do it tomorrow or Friday morning before this storm reaches the marina.

STORM DAMAGE REPORT - UPDATED
by Dave Shearer 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users We have now thoroughly walked all the docks and have completed a full Storm Damage Report. There is quite a few boats on it. Almost all damage is minor but should be addressed. Dock lines suffered greatly at the marina. The marina crew tied at least 40 boats back up. It is time for most everyone to inspect your dock lines and get them replaced if necessary. You should probably replace dock lines at least once every two years (minimum) To view the STORM DAMAGE REPORT click on the following link http://www.gslmarina.com/StormDamageReport/tabid/85/Default.aspx If you have a dinghy on the Yacht Club Dinghy rack, please come out and inspect them. Make sure they are tied securely to the rack. Make sure there are no loose items around the rack like masts, centerboards, rudders, etc. Some of the boats blew partially off the rack. I cannot guarantee all your loose equipment is still there. Remember that all this becomes dangerous projectiles during wind storms. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Storm Damage Report
by Dave Shearer 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

GSL Slip Renters. I am back from Arizona and we have been assessing the damage here at the marina. The good news is that there is very little. And, with the following exceptions, if you had storm damage you have been notified already. Ryan Sabin: The mainsail on your Santana is out. Paul Caine: Your dock box blew over Ryan Humpfreys: your boat cover is off. GSLYC: The Holder 14 tipped over again. It is back upright and on the trailer. We are cleaning up the debris from the Cris Craft on E dock. We hope to have it secured by late afternoon. Until that time we would like everyone to keep of E dock. We have blustery conditions and don't want anyone hit by an object that may get away. That's it. Official top gust was 86mph. There may have been heavier gusts associated with Tooele Twisters Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Situation SAFE at Marina
by Dave Shearer 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

GSL Slip Renters. The situation at the marina has mellowed out and the front has moved on. There is SOME damage. The Marina team will assess the damage and email me tomorrow (I'm in Arizona). Once that is done I will get a storm damage report out. From the initial inspection tonight, there will not be a long damage report. It appears most boats weathered the storm. But there are a few that did not fare so well. The most obvious and most serious damaged boat is the large motorboat on E dock. The upper structure is gone. I would recommend if you have a boat that was to the north or east of that boat, that you come and inspect your own boats for damage from projectiles (I got it right Bry). There appears (remember I am in Arizona) that there are some small boats in dry storage that are over. I will have a much more accurate list for all of you tomorrow evening. If I can I will contact boat owners with damage before that time as we learn about your boats. But rest assured, very few of you will be hearing from us. And please cooperate with the marina staff and rangers as they clean up some of the debris that may be a hazard. They have your safety as a priority. They will be inspecting boats, docks and other park areas for damage and safety. I request you give the marina staff until noon to go through the marina before venturing out. It is only a request. But it will help them to more quickly check for damage and make sure our docks and gangways are safe (I expect they will be). And for those of you attending the GSLYC clinic tonight expecting a safety clinic from Ranger Rosell, we apologize. We had an unsafe situation at the marina. I requested that he stay there along with our other park ranger to secure a dangerous situation that had developed. We will work with the yacht club to try to reschedule this part of the clinic. Again, I apologize. If you have specific questions, feel free to email. I will try to check them as often as I can Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

by Dave Shearer 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

GSL Slip Renters. Stay away from the marina tonight. It is not safe. Most of your boats are fine. But we have flying debris that could prove very dangerous. Winds in excess of 100mph. Wait till tomorrow to come out Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142
