IMPORTANT NOTICE
by Dave Shearer 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Many of our slip renters are using hoses with aluminum fittings that screw to the hose bib. In a short time, in this salt water environment, those aluminum fittings seize to the bib. That makes it impossible to detach the hose later and causes us to replace the whole hose bib. For that reason we will no longer allow hoses out here unless they have brass screw fittings. Any hose that has an aluminum fitting will be removed. Thanks Dave

We have lost one of our community. Dave Jennings, a long-time Catalina 25 owner on J dock died yesterday after a massive stroke. Dave was always a smiling face that donated his time to the community in public relations and video efforts. We would like to express our condolences to his son, Patrick. Dave

I'm understanding that there may need to be some clarification on the upcoming sailing clinic this SUNDAY, April 28 at 10am. There will be three subjects discussed at the clinic. The first will be anchoring and float plan. The second will be Navigation and GPS. And the third will be de-winterizing. The clinic will start at the Marina Shop/Office.

MORE GOOD NEWS!
by Dave Shearer 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

We have done it! The lake has come up 2 feet since last year's low! That is what the lake would come up on a normal year before dropping two feet from summer evaporation! And our snowpack is still up there in those thar mountains. We are on track to come up at least another foot and possibly two feet if this wet spell continues. Because of the March and April moisture we are now nearly on par with the phenomenal 2011 water season where we came up 5 feet and only went down about 1.5 feet. This news means it MAY be possible for almost every boat in the marina right now to get out on the lake ALL year. We need to hope for a wet and cool May and then have the snow come down late May and into June. Things are really looking up this year. It is nice to see the Catalina 30's getting out on the water again. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-250-1898 [DNR Parks Logo]
