New Website

30 Nov '17

The new website for www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> is no UP-AND-RUNNING! It has a new look and is also not quite complete with all the features so please be patient if some of the links don't quite work yet. New features will be added every day. If there is something you want but don't see please let me know and I will try to accommodate that. The weather forecast, water temperature are working again. The calendar is no longer on the home page but is now part of the menu items at the top. It is up-to-date at this point. Thanks, for your patience. And special thanks to Brian & Courtney Starks, Glen Shimmelfenig, and Howard Sanderson for all their help over the last two months of making this happen.

The new www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> will have a calendar option on the top of the page. But until the new site is running I thought I would update you on some upcoming events. Saturday, December 16 is the Bottom-Of-The-Pit chili party. This is the annual chili cookoff and social. It is the longest running event starting back in the 1970's on a dock by Clint Baty. The social is an open house forum with the party starting at 11am and going on till 3pm. Please bring your favorite chili recipe. Awards will be given for best tasting, most original, and spiciest. Monday, January 1 at 10am - FIRST SAIL. This event is open to all regardless of water craft. Be it sailboat, kayak, sculling shell, paddle board (brrr). Come out and get on the water for the First Sail! Then come in for a hot pot-luck style soup, chowder, stew meal at Trestle Dock (Harbor Master Residence at marina). The social will begin at 1pm.

Trailer Storage
by Arnold Gardner 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Dear Marina Community, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My apologies for intruding on your weekend, but I am in need of suggestions of locations to store my 24 foot Hunter boat trailer. I'm looking for some fairly inexpensive outside storage, and it doesn't necessarily need to be secure. Thank you for any suggestions. Arnie Gardner D dock #26 -- Arnold G.

18 Nov '17

Yesterday's storm was a record breaker for November and brought much needed snowpack and precipitation! We are now at 117% of normal precipitation for this date in November. We are still about 95% of snowpack but the Bear River basin, the most important basin for spring runoff to Great Salt Lake is 130% Today will be a cool 43 degrees but will be a sunny great day for sailing before coming in for warm deep-fried turkey at 4pm.

16 Nov '17

B Dock now has power again. Also the lake is definitely coming up. We have come up 0.3 tenths of a foot since our low for the year. And the new www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> website should be up very soon. It will still be a work in progress but should provide weather/water data again as well as useful information. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
