Storm Damage Report
by Dave Shearer 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. The Storm Damage Report can be viewed at www.gslmarina.com and then clicking on the NEWS tab. Look for Storm Damage Report at the top of the left hand menu. There is also about six inches of very wet snow on your boats. And there are two more storms coming. You may want to come shovel snow off your boats in the next few days before boats have scuppers pushed below water level and you begin to take on water. Lots of broken dock lines. Many have been repaired by good marina Samaritans. This storm was a very juicy storm. We are now well above our precipitation levels for the whole of November and are putting a lot of water in the bank. This is before the next two storms sock us. CHECK YOUR DOCK LINES!!!!

Storm Damage
by Dave Shearer 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users There WILL be a storm damage report sometime today. So far we have the GSLYC Holder 14 flopping around in the parking lot. We have Chacon's Catalina 25 blown sideways into another Catalina 25 in dry storage. We have several vessels with broken dock lines. That seems to be it so far. We have an official top gust of 66mph but we have had several Tooele Twisters which I'm sure have had stronger gusts. Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

I was out checking on my boat today and I noticed that the boat next to me in D-40 has one broken dock line and another ready to break. Thought you might want to pass that along to the owners. Thanks, MiKe Downie

Lake Level / Turkey Social
by Dave Shearer 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. The lake is definitely coming up! Direct Precipitation is up! Snowpack is up! And we have a very juicy storm barreling down on us. Very good start to the water year. It's all about the sun spots (spelled it correctly this time Bry) Although the weather looks a little soggy this weekend, I am still planning on the Annual Turkey Social at the Great Salt Lake Marina. Serving promptly at 4pm. We have set up the yacht club room to accommodate as many people as possible. If you haven't previously RSVP'd, please do so now. If you RSVP'd but don't think you can make it, let me know too. I will be purchasing the turkeys tomorrow. Thanks Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142

by Dave Shearer 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. WOW! Only six weeks into the new water year and we are already nearly ¼ of the way to our goal for water year precipitation. Yesterday brought RECORD BREAKING precipitation to the Great Salt Lake and her drainage basin. We have now had a wet spring, wet summer, and are beginning a VERY wet fall! And this all correlates nicely to sun activity. ITs ALL ABOUT THOSE SUNSPORTS See you at the Turkey Fest. Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina 801-209-9142
