Pump-A-Head
by Dave Shearer 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

GSL Slip Renters The pump-a-head at the Great Salt Lake Marina has been repaired. The power to it is still off and will remain off until we get outside temperatures consistently above freezing at night. We may turn power back on to it during the day on select weekends until then. Otherwise it will likely be April before it is operational 24/7 We will not be leaving it on during the winters anymore. Also, if possible, please buy your own adaptors and keep them on your boat or dock boxes. The adaptors we have bought for the marina keep walking away. The pump-a-head at Antelope Island is still off for the season Thank you, Harbor Master

Deep Channel & Reef Channel Buoys
by Dave Shearer 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

GSL/Antelope Slip Renters and Marina Users I am happy to announce that ALL the deep channel buoys have been pulled. For the first time in MANY years we no longer have any Deep Channel buoys set as there is no need for them this summer. The Reef Channel buoys are now set. Please use them. Do not wander outside of the path created by these buoys as there is still some shallow areas caused by tufa reef abruptly coming up from the bottom of the lake. Stay at least a boat length away from the buoys to avoid snagging the ground tackle with your keel or rudder. And watch for side drift due to the current. The Goggins current is running fairly strong right now and will become stronger during the spring months. All or part of the Deep Channel buoys will likely be set this fall again unless we have one hell of a wet spring and a cooler than normal summer.

CRANE DAY - MOVED
by Dave Shearer 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

GSL Slip Renters, I've heard back from everyone except for one person. They are all ok with moving crane day to the 23rd. I've also heard from others who weren't ready for the 16th that think they will be ready for the 23rd. So consider it moved to the 23rd. Thanks Dave

CRANE DAY
by Dave Shearer 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

GSL Slip Renters, I'm giving serious consideration to postponing crane day for one week. Right now the forecast are consistently tracking a storm for Friday the 16th. If I postpone it to the 23rd does that work for people? Let me know Dave
