12 Jul '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. Just a reminder of the Eardley Spit Cruise on SUNDAY. Right now it looks as though we will have a weather window of opportunity that day. If things start to look south I will send a notice tomorrow postponing the cruise to another weekend.

Partial Road Closure Near Marina
by Dave Shearer 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. UDOT is starting work on the SR-202 Bridge today. The SR-202 Bridge is the bridge that crosses Interstate 80 at exit 104 (the marina exit). Originally the bridge was going to be completely closed to traffic which would have meant the people coming from Tooele would need to continue down I-80 to 7200 west and then double back. It would also mean that people leaving the marina for Salt Lake would need to use the frontage road to 7200. The plan has changed so that there will only be a partial (one lane closure) over the bridge with traffic signals to direct flow. Traffic will only flow one direction at a time and will be directed by the temporary traffic signals. Estimated wait times of 3 minutes are possible. This construction is slated to go from today through the 19th of July. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

by Dave Shearer 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users It is a Date! We have another Harbor Master Eardley Spit Cruise in the near future. The last cruise was awesome. Let's do it again! Sunday, July 14th we will once again cruise out to the Caribbean of the Great Salt Lake for another beach picnic. Bring your favorite water toys. Bring a pot-luck picnic dish. Bring a dingy to get yourself and your guests to the beach. Bring your best Caribbean beach attitude. Bring a palm tree if you have one. Captains meeting at 10:00am Depart from the marina soon after so you can anchor at Eardley Spit on Island-Time sometime near noon. For those that do not have a way to get to the beach from their boats we will run a shuttle service just like last time. Be there. You don't want to miss this last opportunity of the season to party Caribbean style on the Great Salt Lake!
