Harbormaster Eardley Spit Cruise
by Dave Shearer 31 May '19

31 May '19

Here we go! It is just a few days away now. The annual Harbor Master Eardley Spit Cruise. And the weather forecast has consistently looked awesome! Partly cloudy with a high in the low 70's. Great sailing weather. We will have a captains meeting at 10:30 at the pavilion for those that have not been to Eardley Spit before. It is a simple sail but there a re a couple tricky issues to safely get there. We will have very minimal transportation available to get you from your boat to the spit so please bring your own transportation. I will be providing the main course for the barbecue but side dishes are very welcome and appreciated. Beach games will be provided and set up. IF YOU HAVEN'T RSVPD YET PLEASE DO SO. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE MAIN COURSE BARBECUE FOOD TO BRING.

24 May '19

One of our marina community was tragically taken too early. Dennis Gwyther was gunned down just across the Idaho border as he was commuting to his job as a flight attendant. He was shot while driving on I-84 and died shortly after. Dennis was part of the Great Salt Lake community, the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club and owns a boat here named Beerly Behaving. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family

It looks like we are about to go back into a wet and windy pattern. Strong winds will kick in tomorrow afternoon and we will see on-and-off strong winds through the weekend except for maybe Saturday. This storm will also bring rain and the chance for thunderstorms. How are your dock lines? Are your rigs and sails secured? The next week looks a bit active also. Dave

Opening Day May 4 - PLEASE READ
by Janet Robins 03 May '19

03 May '19

Opening Day and the Blessing of the Fleet is tomorrow, SATURDAY, May 4, 2019. 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. Captain’s meeting and opening prayer are at 11am Boat Parade and Blessing of the fleet will be at 11:30am Traveling trophy will be awarded for the Best Decorated Boat. Saturday, May 4, 2018 All boats are welcome to participate, not just members of the yacht club. At 11:00 am, 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 1:00 and 1:30 at the yacht club pavilion, just depending on the progress and completion of the Blessings. The GSLYC will provide the main dish of Chili Verde, but they request that people bring a side dish or desert to share as well as BYO Beverage. Current yacht club members are free, non-members are $5.00 per person. Janet Robins Commodore, GSLYC
