Attend our seminar #3 to get all the information on this new sailing event. Swap Meet Too! If you have sailing stuff you want to sell, swap or give away, bring it with you and we'll do some horse tradin' after the seminar. Seminar #4 State of the Lake Eric Ellis from the Utah Lake Commission reports on What's going on with Utah Lake? CATALINA CRUISE with SPECIAL OFFERING! Are you interested in night navigation? We have the opportunity to take a Night Navigation class on the evening that we return from Catalina. The cost is $65.00 paid to Marina Sailing and it is totally optional. This is an exciting opportunity to practice some blue-water night navigation. Upcoming Catalina trip offers a rare opportunity to sail a brand new Fountaine Pajot Helia 44' . This is a Moorings caliber boat, without the Moorings price tag. Better jump on this one . . . fast! March 15 - 18. Although I've seen this before, it still makes me want to incorporate "craftsmanship" in my work. Very inspirational.

Clam Chowder Party TODAY/ Dredging/ Lake Levels
by Dave Shearer 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

Just a reminder of this Saturday's Clam Chowder party at Great Salt Lake Marina. 1pm. I hope to discuss lake level predictions for 2017 as well as where we are on the dredging project. We are having one hell of a banner year for moisture and there is great reason to hope many if not most of us may be able to get our boats back into the lake this year. Snowpack is 175% and water watchers are stating, even if the spigot shut off now. We are still where we need to be for April 1. I'm not sure I'm quite that optimistic but this year is on track to match 2011 and 1983. I hope to see you all this Saturday Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Lake Level / Dredging / Clam Chowder Party
by Dave Shearer 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. First of all, we will still be sending out contracts and autopay forms to those that are still in the water or are in one of the dry storage lots. We are behind on our schedule due to all the snow plowing we have been doing lately. On to better things now. We were on the water most of yesterday. While out there we noticed that the currents are very strong on the lake right now. Currents on the lake during the winter are usually very light to non-existent. Yet these currents are more like what we see in April during a year with strong spring runoff. This means we are getting a lot of water flowing into the lake. If you spend enough time on the lake you will start to be able to determine the fresh water flowing on top of the saltier base water. We are also seeing a lot of this too. There is a lot of pre-dredging activity going on right now. We plan to have an update on imminent dredging activity during the Harbor Master's Clam Chowder Social at the end of January. We will also have an update on what lake level predictions look like. Right now they look very positive. The Harbor Master's Clam Chowder social will be Saturday, January 28th at 1pm at the Great Salt Lake Marina. If weather permits, it will be over at my deck. Otherwise it will be at the Yacht Club. Please bring your favorite clam chowder recipe or side dish. Weather forecasts and water temperatures on www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> will not be available from January 17th through the 27th. They will return on January 28th.
