WIND WARNING Sunday night/Monday
by Dave Shearer 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

GSL/Antelope Slip Renters and Marina Users. I'm currently watching two charts that indicate we will likely see significant wind and sea conditions starting up Sunday night and lasting through Monday. The winds will begin from the west and switch to the northwest. We could see winds in excess of 40mph on the lake. This doesn't seem a lot for the Great Salt Lake Marina area. But what will be significant is the height of the seas. They could reach over 8 feet. Please be advised.

Water and Photo info
by Dave Shearer 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

GSL Slip Renters, The water is back on to the docks except C and D docks. For those of you that are on C and D docks, there are some significant breaks in the lines. We will repair those and hopefully have the water back on next week for you. For the others, please feel free to bring your hoses back out. Please keep them neatly coiled and off the main dock sections as best as possible. Also, I met a photographer in the parking lot tonight. She showed me an awesome photo of a boat coming into the marina last night (Tuesday night) during the sunset. She was wondering if I could identify the sailor so that she could get him/her a copy of the photo. The boat is silhouetted in the rich red sunset. I wasn't able to identify the boat but this is what I know. It appears there was only one person aboard. It is a smaller boat (22' to 26') with only a furling genoa out. The main is not up. It has an outboard. If this sounds like your boat and you would like a copy of the picture I will try to get in touch with the photographer. She wants you to have a copy. She is not looking to sell the picture. She just wants you to have a copy. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
