[cid:image001.jpg@01D3E396.5E52F190] Instructions for the GSLYC Blessing of the Fleet Boat Parade on Saturday, May 5, 2018 It's been a few years since we have been able to have the boat parade, and we have a lot of new boat owners, so please review the details before Saturday. The decorating of boats for this event has been a long standing tradition of the GSLYC! Saturday, May 5, 2018 All boats are welcome to participate, not just members of the yacht club. At 3:00 pm, all boats participating in the Blessing of the Fleet and Boat Parade will meet on the water near 9 mark (just NW of the Deep Channel buoys). Please have your VHF radios on, and all music or other distractions off. Reverend Frederick Leroy Carter Jr., will offer the Blessing of the Fleet prayer, which will be broadcast on VHF 16. Please be respectful and silent while the prayer is being offered. The rescue boat will start the procession back into the marina, and all boats should follow him, proceed to the back bay, turn around and proceed to E Dock where Reverend Carter will be blessing the boats as you go by. Please be mindful of other boats, and keep an appropriate distance, allowing everyone to navigate the marina safely. Keep in mind, you may have to exit the marina again to turn around and return to "I", "J" and "K" docks, or find an empty slip in the NW basin you can pull into, until it is safe and clear for you to return to your own slip. If you are unable to participate in the boat parade, and still want your boat blessed, please let Dave Shearer know (you must be on the list), and after Reverend Carter is done blessing the boats in the parade, he will be available to bless the other boats that were not able to participate. Afterwards, the Cinco de Mayo Social will start between 5:00 and 5:30 at the yacht club pavilion, just depending on the progress and completion of the Blessings. Janet Robins Commodore GSLYC

The event is open to all boaters regardless of club affiliation but there is a small charge for the barbecue for non YC members.

Sad News

Great Salt Lake Marina community member Julie Maughan lost her courageous battle with breast cancer on August 18, 2018. She sailed and paddled the Great Salt Lake for several years with her partner Jason. She enjoyed the lake and often remarked that it was like visiting another world. As a young lady she traveled the world as a professional ice skater, concluding her skating career performing in the closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics. After skating she turned to another love, costume design, and ultimately her own line of fashion, Paji. Thousands of custom made Paji coats inspire and will continue to be adored by their lucky owners. Julie loved everyone, and literally never had a bad word to say about anyone or anything. She always found the best in everything. Her kind heart touched many. She will be greatly missed. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/julie-maughan-obituary?pid=188790295&…
