NEXT CRANE DAY
by Dave Shearer 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I am planning (tentatively) on having the next crane day Thursday, May 25. I wanted to get that date out now so those that may be interested in going back in the water can get their boats ready. Space is limited in the water until dredging is complete though. We will have another crane day once dredging is complete. When dredging is completed and we have that crane day we will begin charging you for your slip whether the boat is in the water or not. 30 days after dredging is complete we need to have all boats back in the water (except those that had dry storage contracts before) or you will need to make arrangements to store your boat in one of the dry storage areas (space is limited) or remove your boat from the marina parking lot. We need to open the parking lot back up. Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

WINDS
by Dave Shearer 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

We had a wind storm blow through last night. Top gust was 82mph which was the strongest gust (barely) that we have had since 2011. It looks as if all boats made it through the wind just fine. Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Crane Day
by Dave Shearer 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

We will have another crane day in the near future. But in order to plan for that I need to get a feel for those that want to go back in. Space may be limited at this point until dredging is complete.

Masts overhanging docks
by Dave Shearer 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

For those that just put your boats back in the water. We have several masts that are blocking the path down the docks. We need to start getting masts up or have you move the masts back so that people can safely walk down the docks. Can you please move your masts or raise your masts by mid-next week? Thanks Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Access To Lake - Dredging
by Dave Shearer 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. Many of you, now that your boats are back in the water, want to go sailing. Totally understandable. Yet every time the dredgers have to stop to let a boat out it shuts them down for a while before they can get back into position. So they are proposing the following schedule to accommodate those that want to sail. Monday through Saturday the channel will be open from 7:30am to 8:00am, from 12:30pm to 1:00pm, and from 5:00pm to 5:30pm. The channel will be clear after sunset. On Sunday the channel will be open all day. Hope that works. Thanks for your understanding. By the way - the mouth is 5.3' deep now.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
by Dave Shearer 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

We had a very successful crane day today shattering the old record set two years ago for craning boats. We put 52 boats in today in 6.5 hours. INCREDIBLE. The old record was 48 boats in 10 hours. And it was all due to the Great Salt Lake Emergency Response team and the marina community donating their time to make it happen very quickly, efficiently and safely. Crews drove boats, slung boats, drove tractors towing boats, catch boats as they came into docks, and we had volunteers bring food out to feed us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DREDGING
by Dave Shearer 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

IT HAS BEGUN IN FOR REAL! They dredged all day today! We put 52 boats in today. Actual dredging activity began today. The lake has come up 2.5' feet (normal lake rise for the whole year is 2 feet) and we probably have at least another 2 feet to come up. HAPPY 2017!
