DREDGING
by Dave Shearer 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

There is much dredging to be done but we are rapidly nearing the end of the project. S&L is starting to reassemble E and D dock. This does not mean those docks will be ready to use after being reassembled. I don't expect those docks to be open up until early to mid-July. The dredgers are focusing on the mouth of the marina as well as the hump outside all the way to the navigation buoys outside the mouth. Please do not go out today or tomorrow if you don't have to. The pipe and the dredge are blocking most of the mouth. The mouth will be cleared each day by 7:30pm. They are concentrating on this area now so that it is open and deep for Sailfest Saturday and Sunda.

Storm Damage - Final Report
by Dave Shearer 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Conditions have subsided at the Great Salt Lake Marina. We are still experiencing the occasional 30mph gusts but we are no longer experiencing the 70+ to 90mph gusts. We have now walked the entire marina and damage looks relatively light considering the strength of the wind gusts. Structurally the marina only suffered losing water to K dock. And one large tree limb down. But there is some private property damage to report. Following is what damage we observed. PLEASE NOTE that this report does not include scuffs, scrapes and other gelcoat damage to boats as we do not have any idea whether this damage was caused by this storm or the damage was there prior to the storm. A good example is my own personal boat that has two deep gouges in the side of her that were there prior to me purchasing the boat. Nor does this report cover any items that may have blown off boats. Gonzo Boat Rentals Rental shack blown ¼ of the way across the parking lot. No observable damage Road Runner antennae snapped in half. I Dock I-4 Westphal Front deck hatch open. I-20 Horrocks Genoa sail shredded J Dock J-36 McAffee Hatch blown off J-40 Dodds Broken Dock Line J-21 Lord Cover over hatch blown off. K Dock Broken water line no water we will try to repair ASAP K-40 Askmo Aft lazarette hatch blown off still attached to boat though All boats, especially K dock are completely covered in sand and salt spray. The docks are also covered in a layer of sand. This sand is like ball bearings and can be slippery. Be careful when walking on the docks. We are expecting rain tomorrow. Those with hatches off should consider addressing that. DOCK LINES Many of you have dock lines that have stretched out since you put your boats in the water. This is normal but some of those lines may be loose enough to allow your boat to rub up against the dock during wind storms now.

Marina Open

The marina is open again. Top gust was 90mph. No more damage to report from earlier except that K dock is without water. Strong winds twisted the dock enough to break the line. Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142
