SOLAR ECLIPSE THIS SUNDAY
by Dave Shearer 18 May '12

18 May '12

GSL/Antelope Slip Renters and Marina Users, Looking for a reason to visit the Great Salt Lake this Sunday? Why not come spend a lazy afternoon/evening on board your boat and viewing the Solar Eclipse. Great Salt Lake will experience a near total solar eclipse this Sunday between 6:19pm and 8:32pm with the maximum eclipse at 7:29pm DO NOT LOOK INTO THE SUN. IT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY. But an eclipse can still be viewed by using two pieces of cardboard. Put a pin hole prick in the first piece of cardboard. Then hold that cardboard up between the sun and the second cardboard. View the eclipse by looking at the cardboard without the pin hole prick. The sun shining through the first cardboard with the pin hole prick will shine the eclipse onto the second cardboard piece. And, even though the sun is high in the sky, daylight will become darker than usual.

GSL Slip Renters, Tomorrow and Wednesday morning we will be linseeding the docks. Also, June is just around the corner. The rangers will be walking the docks checking for expired registration stickers around the first week of June. Please remember it is not enough to have your boat registered. The current year sticker must also be displayed on the boat. If you have registered the boat but have not been able to get the stickers on yet, please do. Please do not email or call me stating you have your stickers at home. There is nothing I can do.

Open Containers at Marina
by Dave Shearer 11 May '12

11 May '12

GSL/Antelope Slip Renters and Marina Users. Please understand that I am not law enforcement. But I was requested by the Rangers to send this email out to all our slip renters and marina users. In the last week the rangers have spotted four people with open containers (beer cans) in their car. The rangers have informed me that this is something they just CANNOT turn a blind eye to anymore. I have been informed that, without exception, they will start citing people who have open containers in their vehicles. So please, if you want to have a beer, wait till you get to the marina and out of your car before opening it up. And certainly don't get in your car with an open container and drive out of here. That could lead to very serious consequences. I appreciate your understanding. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

I have been asked recently if there is any interest in re-starting the Radio Controlled sailboat races we used to do at the Great Salt Lake Marina. Is there interest? I've been thinking about putting some Wednesday evenings on the schedule this summer for this activity. Let me know.
