Exciting New Things at GSL
by Dave Shearer 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users, I have some exciting new upgrades and improvements to tell you about. First of all you probably all know that our campgrounds are now finished. We have running water and electrical to five spots as well as fire pits and picnic tables. Overnight stays are $20.00 Probably the most exciting new development is the fact that we now have WI-FI at the marina. We have walked the docks testing the signal and it appears to be good from all slips in the marina. Yes it even works inside the yacht club. And the fact that we now have WI-FI also means we now have the ability to install and run weather cameras at the marina. You will soon be able to log into the internet from your home or office and actually see the weather at the lake. You may even be able to view whether the wind shredded your sails or busted your dock lines. The cameras should be coming soon. The GIFT STORE is now open. And it has more to offer than just souvenirs for tourists. Here are some of the offerings that may appeal to slip renters: * Bagged Ice (coming soon) * Bottled water * Coffee (coming very soon) * Batteries (for RC racing) * Mosquito repellant * Advil / Aspirin / Allergy relief * Hand sanitizer * Sunscreen * Bathymetric maps of the lake * Charts (coming soon) * Memory cards * And much more Another item coming very soon is the new lake level and weather monitoring station. This will likely be located at the GIFT STORE. You will be able to check out the current lake levels, watch the storm surge and view the weather station data (wind speed and more) on the new display. Boat Stands. We will soon have boat stands available for use. We expect to have them sometime in September. We will have both types of stands. Free standing stands as well as stands that can sit on a trailer. Enjoy Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Update on Exit 104 Ramp Closure
by Dave Shearer 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. We have received an updated from UDOT on the I-80 Exit 104 closure. It will not be closed today. This should be a relief to the Wednesday Night racers. The west bound on and off ramp will be closed tomorrow. If you are coming from Salt Lake City take SR 201 or take Exit 111 and then come out on the frontage road. If you are leaving the marina and heading for Tooele you will need to take SR 202 to SR 201 to get there. On Friday the eastbound off and on ramp will be closed. If you are coming from Tooele take the SR 201 exit and then take SR 202 to get to the marina. If you are leaving the marina and trying to get to Salt Lake you will need to stay on the frontage road to 7200 west or take SR 202 to SR 201 Good luck.

IMPORTANT - UDOT CLOSING EXIT TO MARINA
by Dave Shearer 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users UDOT has been working on exit 104 (the marina exit) during July. They plan to repave the on and off ramps this week and will need to close the ramps in order to complete this work. They plan on closing the ramps this Wednesday and Thursday (and possibly Friday) during the day for this work. If you are coming to the marina from Salt Lake or Ogden I would recommend you take the 111 exit (7200 West) and take the frontage road to get to the marina. For those that usually get here by Highway 201 and then 202 may not be affected by these closures. For those coming from Tooele - well I don't know what to tell you other than to stay on I-80 to exit 111 and then wrap back around on the frontage road.
