Harbor Master Eardley Spit Cruise
by Dave Shearer 30 May '16

30 May '16

THIS IS IT! IT IS ALMOST HERE! The Harbor Master's Eardley Spit Cruise! This coming Saturday is the Fourth Annual Harbor Master's Eardley Spit Cruise. The biggest cruise and beach party of the year. Captains/Crew meeting 11am at the marina pavilion followed by a leisurely sail to Eardley Spit - the Caribbean beach of the Great Salt Lake. This is a pot luck affair so bring your own food and beverages. I will provide beach games such as volley ball, bocce ball, and horse shoes. I will also provide shuttle from your boats to the beach for those that do not have their own transportation. IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of you still have boats on-the-hard (out of the water). Please let me know if you would like to participate in this event and need transportation out to the spit. For those that have boats in the water and are willing to take passengers aboard please let me know so we can get those wanting to attend out to the spit. Last year we had few boats in the water yet nearly had a record attendance. Let's do it again! See you at the spit!

Cardboard Boat Races - June 18, 2016
by Janet Robins 26 May '16

26 May '16

There is a difference between those who plan their boat ahead of time and those who do not.... What can YOU make out of Cardboard & Duct Tape???? The annual GSLYC cardboard boat races are Saturday June 18, 2016, registration at 10:30 am. It's time to start thinking about doing some dumpster diving, cardboard collecting, duct tape acquiring and letting those sparkly creative ideas manifest themselves into a boat! EVERYTHING is possible - over the years we have seen Viking ships, mermaids, kayaks, pirate ships, Hawaiian outriggers... so no boat design is off limits (but the rules and guidelines must be followed!) The cardboard boat rules and guidelines are attached to this email. Have fun! Janet Robins GSLYC Commodore [cid:image003.jpg@01D1B744.7D0A6F30]

by Janet Robins 26 May '16

Just letting everyone know with all this crazy weather patterns. Sunny one minute and then wind and rain the next, we need to think safety first. Those planning on the weekend cruise as of now we are still on and Dave Shearer will help us with GPS locators as well. We will follow the weather right up to the time of departure on Saturday Morning. If for some reason we deem it to unsafe for everyone we have other alternative plans. One being another raft up or worst case scenario we will do a BBQ at the Yacht Club Pavilion Those planning on going need to be prepared for anything and should have proper safety equipment, marine radio in working order, flashlight, water for 3 days, food and most importantly life preservers. Please make sure your anchor chain is in good condition. Please contact Dennis Gwyther at 801-856-2222 with any questions or to RSVP. We will do our best to keep you updated.
