Marina Depths
by Dave Shearer 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

This is just a follow up to previous emails I have sent out regarding dredging. As I have stated before in emails and at skippers meetings it is highly advised to stay dead center in the marina mouth when exiting and returning. If you get off-center it starts to become shallow. I have been sounding the marina and the mouth for the last two weeks. We did an extensive probing of depths in the marina from the Ranger dock all the way to the red buoy outside the mouth this afternoon. The shallowest spot we saw was 6.5 feet just inside the marina mouth (at a lake level of 4194.3'msl) staying in the center with most of the depths being a minimum of 7 feet. The green buoy outside the marina mouth is on the hard hump we tried to remove in 2008 and the dredgers tried to remove this spring. Keep some distance from the green buoy. The best path leaving the marina is to stay closer to the docks as you go out, then stay dead center in the marina mouth. Once you get to the outside center of the mouth head right for the red buoy until you are a couple boat lengths away. This will keep you in the deepest water. There is shallow water and rocks inside the marina along both breakwalls. As long as you stay centered you should be ok for a while. We will keep you posted on lake levels and depths as we get closer to fall. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

THANKS - Crane Day
by Dave Shearer 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Well, another Crane Day in the books. We put 33 boats in the water. Took one boat out of the water. We were planning on putting 34 boats in the water but one boat had a cracked hull that showed up upon lifting the boat with the crane. The crane day went very well thanks to all the volunteers that selflessly gave up their time for their fellow sailors. And it wasn't an easy day. There was a lot of work to do in temperatures nearing 100 degrees. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH to all that showed up to help! And thank you, Laurie, for feeding us! Some notes on this crane day. One boat had over 7000 gallons of fresh water inside the boat. It is ALWAYS a good idea to check the interior before putting your boat in the water. One boat sunk. This is a very good lesson on checking your thru hulls BEFORE you put the boat in. And then checking them again before your boat comes off the crane straps. Unfortunately there is substantial damage to the interior of the boat now. PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME asking if your boat is the one the sunk. The owner already knows. And PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME whether your boat was the one with the cracked hull. The owner of that boat already knows too. I still need to get paid by some of you. If you haven't paid me yet please do so ASAP. I have to write a substantially large check on Monday to cover the crane. The condition of trailers was much better this time. Yet we combated wasps and hornets on many of the trailers and cradles. If you have room for your trailers elsewhere PLEASE PICK THEM UP AND take them away! We are VERY short on room now. We will also start charging for all trailer storage. I will be sending slip contracts out in the next few days for those that do not have them filled out. Please get them back in ASAP. Once again, a BIG THANK YOU to all those that donated their time! Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

DREDGING UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Dredging ceased this morning and the dredge was removed. The marina is now open for regular business and access to the lake during normal hours and after-hours for those with valid slip contracts. There may still be some very short temporary closures as there is some mopping up to be done. During dredging some large rocks were discovered just before you enter the mouth of the marina after passing B dock. These rocks are off-center towards the northern breakwall. The dredge cannot remove rocks. We will be working on removing them sometime in the near future. In the meantime please stay as centered as you can throughout the mouth of the marina. Great care should be taken when exiting and entering the mouth as there is really only safe room for one boat still. The dredge just couldn't work too close to the breakwalls without running into rocks or degrading the breakwall. For the same reason it is also advisable to stay nearer the dockside of the fairway inside the marina. See attached file for a diagram of the location of the rocks. Thank you.
