Marina Access Closed Today-Tomorrow
by Dave Shearer 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Although the Great Salt Lake Park will remain open today and tomorrow, access to the lake is closed until midnight tomorrow night. We are in the last two days of dredging and I need the dredge to continue work uninterrupted for these two days. I have promised them they could dredge as long as they need to tomorrow night to complete the work. This means Wednesday Night Race tomorrow will be cancelled. Sorry for the inconvenience.

by Dave Shearer 12 Jul '17

12 Jul '17

There are some slip renters that have extra bottom paint. If you are in need of paint let me know and I will get you hooked up with one of those slip renters with extra paint. After my last three months experience trying to get paint here undamaged it isn't that easy to get paint here anymore.

ATTENTION - BOATS BEING STORED IN PARKING LOT
by Dave Shearer 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Reminder that Crane Day is July 27th. If you have a boat in the parking lot you MUST either go back in the water or make plans to store your boats elsewhere. We MUST reclaim the parking lot so issues can be addressed. For those that have slip assignments but are still in the parking lot or storage areas we will also begin charging slip rent starting August 1st. I have heard from several people who are excited to get back in the water. But many of you I have not heard from yet. Please let me know what your plans are so we can plan accordingly. Thank you Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-250-1898

NAVIGATION LIGHTS
by Dave Shearer 08 Jul '17

08 Jul '17

It is great to see vessels back on the water at Great Salt Lake after being in the parking lot for two years. And many of you have been experiencing the nice evening breezes that Great Salt Lake can provide. I also appreciate the compliance of navigation lights at night that everyone has been using when sailing after sunset . . . until last night. In accordance with Utah Laws and Rules, navigation lights are REQUIRED to be on between sunset and sunrise. If your boat is moving you must have all three navigation lights in working order. This means red, green and white lights must be working. If you are anchored you must have a functioning 360⁰ white light. I operate the rescue boats at night on a fairly regular basis. We have sophisticated equipment on the boats including RADAR. Yet sailboats, with their curved sides, make horrible RADAR targets. I can point to countless articles where sailboats, without navigation lights, were hit at night because they weren’t seen visually or by RADAR. Some of these collisions resulted in fatalities. With all the light pollution created by Kennecott, it is also hard to detect another vessel at night unless they are using their navigation lights. PLEASE! USE YOUR NAVIGATION LIGHTS BETWEEN SUNSET AND SUNRISE! It is the law. If they don’t work, don’t go out until they do. If you don’t want to use them, don’t go out after sunset.

by Dave Shearer 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

We had our weekly dredging meeting today. Even with the break downs they are making progress. So I have scheduled the next crane day. It is Thursday, July 27. WE NEED TO HAVE ALL THE BOATS IN THE PARKING LOT GO BACK IN BY THEN OR MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO MOVE YOUR BOATS ELSEWHERE. We need to reclaim the parking lot for repairs. Please email me to get on the crane list. Also, E dock is being prepared to move boats over to it by late next week.

Purchasing Season pass
by Peter Jorgensen 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hello, Would it be possible to purchase an annual state park season pass at the park today? I would much rather the funds go through GSL instead of bear lake or somewhere else, and my current pass has just expired. Thanks, Peter J. Sent from my iPhone
