Fw: Bonneville Adventure Vacation to Catalina Island
by BRYANT PRATT 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Here's the Catalina Island cruise that Bob Smith mentioned in last Wednesday's cruising seminar. ~Bryant ----- Original Message ----- From: Bonneville School of Sailing To: brypratt(a)q.com Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2011 8:28 PM Subject: Breaking News: Bonneville Announces Adventure Vacation to Catalina Island Bonneville announces their inaugural ADVENTURE CRUISE TO CATALINA April 21-22-23, 2011 An elegant and spacious Lagoon 38 catamaran has been secured for a three-day adventure cruise to Catalina Island, leaving Long Beach at 10 AM Thursday, April 21 and returning between 4-5 PM Saturday, April 23. This is a unique opportunity to learn the systems and functions of a big charter catamaran from our skipper, Roger Bliss, plus the perfect stable platform to learn some Celestial Navigation basics from Bonneville’s CN instructor, Doug Hendricks. And just to sweeten the deal, we’ll set sail to that dream destination, the place they write songs about.. …Catalina Island. Once we arrive at Two Harbors on Catalina, you’ll have free time to explore the island, pull on a mask for some incredible snorkeling, window shop in Avalon or maybe even “hangout on” the new 3/4 mile long zip line. Of course we could always go for a sail too. We have room for 8 crew, and as space is limited we would encourage you to reserve your spot by March 28th with a one half down deposit (non-refundable). At $195 per day, per person, you will not find a better adventure cruise, combined with an educational navigation course and hands on experience anywhere on the planet. Your skipper Roger Bliss who recently presented a Winter Sailing Seminar on Catalina chartering, is ready to introduce you to the Lagoon 38. Price includes a chauffeured drive from the airport to the boat and back again, complete provisioning, on-board sleeping accommodations, fuel, mooring fees, CN tuition and big cat check ride. Call or email Todd with any questions you may have. This is a first come, first served offering and will end with our number 8 crew sign-up. 801.404.0098 info(a)bonnevillesailing.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent from Bonneville School of Sailing located at 4440 West Center Street, Provo, Utah 84601.

Weather Forecast
by Dave Shearer 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users Once again, IHOSTASP, the site that hosts www.gslmarina.com has failed us. I cannot get on to update the wind and weather forecasts. I would be surprised if you can access it either. But we have cancelled the Gale Force Warning that was posted yesterday. Conditions should be mostly cloudy and mild today. If any of you have a recommendation for a hosting site for gslmarina.com I would love the recommendations. Dave Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Reef Channel
by Dave Shearer 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users With the water level coming up this year I will be setting the "Alternative" "Reef Channel" buoys out. These buoys mark the path across the reef rather than the traditional path through the "Deep Channel" Buoys". It looks as though there is over 4' of water over this section of the reef now. The larger deeper draft boats will still have to use the Deep Channel except for a small window in late April through June. I will try to have these buoys set by the weekend. Use the path AT YOUR OWN RISK. Vessels drawing over 4' feet, if you use this path, plan to get yourself off the reef. We advise you still use the Deep Channel path.

Setting YC buoys
by Dave Shearer 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

GSL Yacht Club members (and slip renters) State Parks will be re-setting the Yacht Club Racing buoys (and some navigation buoys) this Saturday. I am looking for a few volunteers to help set these buoys. If you haven't seen anything of Great Salt Lake more than five miles out, this is your chance. Volunteers are guaranteed to get wet and slimy. Volunteers will have to lug heavy buoys, anchors and chains. Volunteers will have to make sure the Rescue boat does not get scratched or dinged while setting buoys. The trip is likely to take a few hours. Your help will be much appreciated. Room is very limited so we will only be greatly appreciating and accepting the first few volunteers to respond to this email. Schedule may change based on wind conditions. Buoys are hard to reliably set in rough weather. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

Correction
by Dave Shearer 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. I stand corrected on my previous email about the water levels. I forgot to change my water calculator from February to March. Therefore, we are at 68% for the month. That is still phenomenal. And we have more storms on the way. It's still about the sunspots.
