DREDGING UPDATE - HOLIDAY CLOSURE
by Dave Shearer 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Some have been asking whether the dredgers will be working this holiday weekend. The dredgers will be working all day so there will be a chance to get out before 7:30am. There will also be gaps to get out between 12:30 to 1pm and again at 5:30pm to 6pm. Dredging will close for the day tomorrow around 7:30pm They will not be dredging July 2 through 4th though so get out and enjoy the lake. Dredging is going slower than they anticipated. It looks like they will actively be dreging through most of July. Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

GSLYC Eardley Spit Evening/Overnight Cruise
by Janet Robins 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Brad and Tammy Silver, along with GSLYC, are planning on going to Eardley Spit Saturday night (July 1st) and rafting up for a barbecue with our sailing friends, and launching fireworks. Everyone is welcome! So, If you would like to join us, this is the tentative schedule. ... o Happy hour and Raft up at 5:00pm o Barbeque and dinner at 6:00 pm o Everyone bring their own main course and a dish to share with everyone o Fireworks start around ½ hour after sunset. Everyone bring some Aerials so we can have a big show! Please do not bring ground fireworks. After the fireworks, you can return to the marina or stay on anchor overnight. We will have a landing party that can set off all the fireworks, so we can watch from the raft up. The aerials should be very pretty as they reflect off the water. Dave Shearer says the weather is mostly sunny in the low 90's. I do not have a wind forecast for this weekend yet. Please RSVP to gslsailor(a)aol.com Thanks, Brad & Tammy Silver

DREDGING
by Dave Shearer 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

It looks like we are getting very near the end of the physical dredging work. S&L thinks they will be wrapped up with the dredger next week. We still need to do some survey work to see if they are down to the depths need considering they have hit the hard pan. Thank you for allowing them to dredge through the day rather than having them shut down operations every time a boat wants to get out. Having them continuously working has made a difference. For the racers this Saturday, you may just have to wait coming in so that we can get all the boats in at one time instead of stopping operations for each boat that comes in. And we will want to coordinate your departure time on Saturday for the race course to also minimize shut downs. They have begun putting docks back together. As soon as E dock is assembled and is no longer considered a construction zone we will want to move the deepest draft boats over there. This may be within the next two weeks. Also, how are you doing getting your boats ready to go back in? Remember that all the boats in the parking lot (cradles and stands) will have to go back in or make arrangements to move them elsewhere. Crane day is likely to be in the next three or four weeks.

Shallow hump just outside marina mouth
by Dave Shearer 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

The dredgers have spent the last three days working from the marina mouth out to the first navigation buoys (R12, G11). The hump just outside the marina mouth that used to be about 5.6 feet deep now appears to be about 7.5 feet deep. But a word of caution; We have only done preliminary surveying of this area. It has not been thoroughly surveyed yet so please still use caution when exiting the marina mouth. There is still much dredging work that needs to be done and the dredgers are on a tight clock now. So please continue to be cooperative with their time table and efforts so we can get all dredging done and the marina put back together ASAP. I will attempt to do a more complete survey of the marina mouth this evening when dredging has completed for the night. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

SECURITY and COMPLAINTS
by Dave Shearer 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

I've been thinking now for three days on how to word this email and haven't figured out a good way yet. So I am just going to say it. I have written this email in the past but haven't needed to write it since all the boats have been in the parking lot. We have had our boats out of the water for the last two to three years. Now, thanks to the good winter, we have been able to put the boats back in the water. This is a great thing! Yet it makes for very close neighbors once again. I have fielded several complaints over this last weekend about gates to the docks being propped open. I know many prefer not having to carry or fish out their dock key every single time they go to and from the dock. But many of your dock neighbors DO mind. They pay for and expect a locked private dock. An unlocked dock invites the tourists and photographers down on the dock. It invites them to climb on your neighbor's boats. We have tourists from other countries visiting the Great Salt Lake. Some come from cultures that do not understand American culture and our concept of private space. PLEASE! Carry your keys. Keep the docks locked at all times. If we find gates propped open with objects the marina staff has been instructed to throw that object away and to close and secure the dock. So carrying your key will be advisable. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
