Deep Channel
by Dave Shearer 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

GSL Slip Renters, It is our intention to pull the rest of the buoys from the Deep Channel Path by the end of this weekend. Hopefully all of you are now using the shorter Reef Channel path. There is at least 5.5 feet of water over the reef near the marina now with almost 8 feet of water over the Reef Channel Path. I see no reason to maintain the Deep Channel Path at this time. The buoys are expensive and hard to keep anchored on the reef. We will keep the Reef Channel path established through the year. It is unlikely we will put the Deep Channel path back in this year unless the water level drops more than I expect it will. Harbormaster

WIND WARNING
by Dave Shearer 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users, Looking at the charts for the next few days it is likely at this point that we will be issuing a Hurricane Force Warning for tomorrow. The angle of the wind is a little tricky but it does look like northern Utah will take a direct hit from a cold front approaching. At this time it appears the Great Salt Lake Marina could see gusts above 75mph, with the upper part of Great Salt Lake seeing some sustained winds in the low 40's with gusts in the upper 50's. Is your boat ready for wind? Are our furlers wound tight? How are your dock lines? Do you have loose objects that could turn into projectiles? We have issued a Gale Force Warning for today.

Rattlesnakes in the marina
by Dave Shearer 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users In the last few days there have been two sightings of rattlesnakes in the marina. One sighting was of a Western Diamondback. The other snake was not clearly identified but was rattling. These are the first two confirmed sightings in over 20 years. I'm guessing the high water is moving the snakes from the brush along the beach into the marina. Obviously rattlesnakes are very poisonous and can cause serious injury or even death if not treated. Yet rattlesnakes are very shy of humans and will slither away. They only become aggressive when they feel threatened. If you see a snake, any kind of snake, leave it alone and report it immediately. Know where your children are at all times. Keep a close eye on your pets. Harbormaster.

Pics & Sailfest
by Dave Shearer 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users; Well it took me awhile but I finally got the pictures from last Wednesday nights race on the website. Go to www.gslmarina.com and look down the left hand side of the home page. Click on "New And Improved Photo Album. There are some great pictures. This weekend is going to be a busy one. We have SAILFEST, the 8 mile swim competition and the one mile swim competition. With the construction going on in the south half of the parking lot, parking is going to be very tight. Please make sure you are occupying a parking stall and not blocking traffic. If you are bringing a camper or camping trailer out we want you to park them in the gravel section of the north parking lot. On Saturday, we have two different swim competitions. The first one is an eight mile swim from the south tip of Antelope Island to Black Rock. Each swimmer will have a support kayaker following him. Please watch out for the swimmers while you are out sailing. The other swim is a one mile swim from the marina entrance to Black Rock. These swimmers will be getting in the water at the launch ramp around 11:45am and will swim out to the marina mouth. They will start their swim at the green buoy just outside the mouth. The start time is at noon. Please be careful leaving or entering the marina at this time. After their noon start the swimmers should be completely out of the way of where you may be boating. So we only have a 15 minute window where we may have boats and swimmers in the same area. The weather forecast for SAILFEST is looking awesome. 80 degrees for a high with mostly sunny skies. High 40's for lows. Look for several news articles in the next short while about the Great Salt Lake once again being great now that the lake has come up so much. With all this water there is a LOT of current on the lake. The current that is causing the most trouble right now is the Goggins. It is rushing past the marina through the Reef Channel buoys. Watch your drift going in and out of the marina. Harbormaster

Antelope Island Marina
by Dave Shearer 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

GSL Slip Renters, Now that Antelope Island has a viable marina again many of you want to use that as a destination. The Rangers up there are very excited to have you up there. I thought I would go over some need-to-know information about using that marina. . Be very careful approaching the marina. There is a tufa reef complex that stretches nearly four miles out to the northwest of Buffalo Point. Steer well clear of that point. When you finally make your eastward turn after rounding the northwest corner, make sure you stay about a mile north of Egg Island. Wait until you are due north of the marina before turning south into the marina. . We do have reciprocity with the Antelope Island Marina. But this reciprocity only includes the slip rent. If you take your boat up you can use their slip for free (up to one week). If you take a car up there to leave and use, you will have to pay the daily entrance fee. This includes the park entrance and Davis Causeway fee. We do not have a reciprocity agreement for that. . Most of the marina is still shallow. Only the outer slips on each dock are useable. . Bridger Bay is still a very shallow anchorage. . White Rock Bay (to the south west of the rock) is deep enough to be a decent anchorage. I am working on a web page that will give GPS coordinates and other instructions on the best approach to the Antelope Island Marina. I hope to have that page done and on www.gslmarina.com sometime tomorrow. Other anchorages will follow. Harbormaster
