17 May '17

FYI concerning Utah Lake Festival and Regatta. There are no competing events scheduled on the GSLYC calendar for that day. ~Bry Pratt From: Bonneville School of Sailing Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2017 2:19 PM Subject: Regatta on the horizon. 18 days away. June 3, Utah Lake Festival Regatta Where's all that water going? Utah Lake water level now -2.81. Water levels continue to climb, as each day brings more more water into Utah Lake. If water levels were to continue to rise one inch per day (as it has during this run-off), until the regatta, we'd be just below compromise (full). BIG BOATS WELCOME! ULSP has a mast crane for safe, controlled mast stepping. Transient slips are available, beginning Wednesday, May 31, if you would like to sail in... or put in early, to avoid last minute boat prep for the Saturday regatta. 2017 medals are on the way If you've had DeWitts catered regatta dinners in the past, you know you've had the best. These ribs rule! Gourmet cup cakes Pina Colada Maple bacon Chocolate mint Lemon curd PHRF tabulations being finalized by Committee Boat Judges, Getting each divisions top 3 finishers ready for awards presentations. BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE your registration ticket could get you... West Marine auto inflating PFD Deluxe Riggers Knife Standard Horizon, floating handheld VHF radio A new pair of cam cleats...and much more. And oh yeah, we'll be doing some sailing too! 2017 could be the best year ever. Register on-line for discounted entry fees. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR: BBQ servers/helpers Boat Show coordinator Swag Drawing helpers Committee Boat Crew Regatta Photographer Course Set-Up (powerboat) Free BBQ dinner for volunteers call Louise: 801-636-5204 But I don't want to race.

GSLYC Request for Pictures
by Janet Robins 12 May '17

12 May '17

Sailfest is rapidly approaching and our theme this year is 140 Years of Sailing on the Great Salt Lake I am looking for pictures from our members, from the good old days. If you have any pictures of the marina and the marina community, from the 1950's up until today that you would like to share, I would greatly appreciate it. We will have these pictures on display for Sailfest. I would prefer NOT to have your originals, but rather a scanned copy. If you don't have access to a scanner, you could stop by my office, and I can scan them here. If you submit a picture to me, please provide me at least an approximate date, and the details of the photo, including the names of the people in the picture, if possible. I will do my very best to acknowledge the contributor of the photos. Also if you have any old copies of the Brine Flyer, that you are willing to scan and send to me, or let me scan, that would be appreciated as well. Janet Robins Commodore GSLYC

CRANE DAY LIST
by Dave Shearer 08 May '17

08 May '17

Crane day is fast approaching and we are just about out of slips available to go back in until dredging is done. Below is a list of those signed up for Crane Day. Make sure, if you are planning on going in, that you are on the list. If you are NOT on the list I cannot guarantee we have space for you until after dredging is complete and the NW basin slips are put back together. If you ARE on the list but do not plan on going back in please let me know ASAP so we can free up a slip for someone that wants to go back in. Thanks Dave Sowles, Bennett Schoenfeld Balk Silver Pitman Tabish Boland Gonzalez Montgomery Fetherston Adams Hartley Carlson Olson Oswald Eberhardt Dodds Tenney Harwood Carter/Merseth Wardle Schmidt Gamble Ross Rowley Hansell Jones Johnson (Tomcat) Rukavina Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

This is a forwarded message about this Saturday's Yacht Club activities. Racer's, A few announcements for the season start just ahead! Our first event of the season is this Saturday and Sunday. Competitor's meeting is Saturday at 10:00 AM. You can find a complete list of Opening Weekend activities at the yacht club site: <http://www.gslyc.org> http://www.gslyc.org. Sunday we are planning a reverse start offshore (pursuit race). Please RSVP your attendance by replying to travis.gregory(a)gmail.com so that we can calculate your start time. The advantage of a reverse start is that (hopefully) we all finish close together to retire for awards.

Long Term Weather
by Dave Shearer 02 May '17

02 May '17

I just pulled up the National Weather Service long-term forecast. It shows the whole state of Utah (western United States) is completely out of the drought! Well that was a no brainer. It also is forecasting a wetter-than normal spring, summer and fall. If the forecast holds true We may be in for another good water year.

Dredging Info - Additional Dredging
by Dave Shearer 02 May '17

02 May '17

Some more money has been found for dredging the Great Salt Lake Marina. It is not a lot of money but it looks to be enough to dredge an additional 21 slips. I hope to announce specific details sometime Thursday. Dredging goes well. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
