Lake Level Update
by Dave Shearer 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

I forgot to mention in my previous email that four foot draft boats can now get out of the marina. The mouth is deep enough now. Thank you, Mother Nature! Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Dredging update
by Dave Shearer 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

It looks like dredging is on track to begin later this month. This means the actual dredging itself. Right now, the plan is to start in the inside channel from the Rescue dock through the mouth of the marina. This will mean there will be some closure times where boats will not be able to get out on the lake. We are working on a plan to minimize closure times. The rough estimate is it will take about two weeks to complete this area. We do anticipate closures to only be the length of hours rather than days though. Updates on dredging activity will become more frequent now. Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

STORM DAMAGE REPORT
by Dave Shearer 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

GSL SLIP RENTERS AND MARINA USERS. The front, from this storm, was quite powerful with winds in excess of 80mph. There was some damage. There is a dingy belonging to the Yacht club that has tipped over in dry storage. One of the concessionaire's paddle boats (strapped down on the trailer) blew off the trailer and is now on the beach. It covered a pretty impressive distance. And there was one boat, on stands, that has tipped over. The owner has been contacted so if you haven't heard from me it wasn't your boat. All the other boats are upright and seem to be fine. There are definitely shredded tarps though. We will walk the docks tomorrow checking for broken dock lines but all the boats are in their slips.

SAD NEWS!
by Dave Shearer 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

I have very sad news of the passing of a good friend of mine and the marina community. Clint Baty, an avid sailor, advocate, and my predecessor as Harbor Master of Great Salt Lake Marina died on February 20th after a brief illness. Clint was born in Moab, Utah on April 27, 1934 and served in the Navy, stationed in Europe during the Korean War. He found his home on the Great Salt Lake in the early 1970's and was a fixture here until 1998 when he retired. During that time he worked as the Ranger Sailboat dealer and taught sailing introducing many people to the sport of sailing and Great Salt Lake before becoming the first Harbor Master on Great Salt Lake. Besides sailing his other passion was running and golf. I remember him often spending his lunch hours running from the marina to the old truck stop located near Rocky Mountain Raceway. There are many of us who have wonderful and colorful stories of Clint, including him racing on Great Salt Lake when he was racing his Merit 25 and losing his keel. We had many racing duels with him on is Olson 30 WEST SECOND SOUTH while I was racing on AVALANCHE, a Hobie 33. During his last few years as Harbor Master he, Ann Hunter, and I worked closely together on the birth of SAILFEST; An event he envisioned celebrating the sport of sailing as well as this wonderful inland sea he loved. That event still occurs every year and is a lasting tribute to Clint. He and I also worked closely on search-and-rescue cases during that time. He had a vast knowledge of Great Salt Lake and its history and was always a joy to talk to. And he dearly loved to tell stories of his adventures on Great Salt Lake. He would often return here to visit the lake he loved and see old friend. He always loved telling stories of the glory days of Great Salt Lake. Clint lived in American Fork and was married to Jane Barratt for the last 23 years of his life. He is survived by seven children, twelve grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

SAIL ON CLINT !! I was a live aboard on K dock. Boat jail was on K dock, before L dock. Clint asked if I would be interested in being boat warden, to monitor boat jail activity. Being Clint as he was, he offered reduced slip fee. There are never enough good words and memories of Clint. SAIL ON CLINT !!!!! Pete Webb (previous mayor of K dock) On Mar 3, 2017 9:56 AM, "Ray Janus" <rayjanus(a)earthlink.net> wrote: Dave, our deepest condolences to Clint’s family, and the marina community who knew and loved him. Clint was the first person that I met, in my drive from San Francisco, back to Toronto, after accepting a position with a former employer on the west coast. However, after a great conversation with Clint, followed by a sail on Catalina 22 from a few new friends I made that evening, our plans changed, and my wife and I decided to make the GSL our new home for our Mirage 27. Between the floods of 1982, when I bought Clint’s old GMC truck to get out to the marina, Clint’s visiting with us in our home for my big 40, our friendship and experiences together deepened. I remember our being the committee boat at the north end of the GSL when Clint and Joy took a knock-down on the Governor’s Cup, between Antelope and Fremont Islands. The hull of Joy’s Olsen 24 was split, allowing significant flooding on one tack, manageable water intake on the other tack. As Clint passed around us, Joy was calling for a rescue, while Clint, at the helm felt he could safely return to the marina. The final outcome was that the Rescue One of that time came out with pumps to pull Clint, Joy, their crew and the Olsen off Standsbury Island, where, in wisdom, it was beached. Stories of that saga abounded for years after that. Clint later invited me to crew with him on a number of occasions, resulting in some of the wettest and most enjoyable rides that I have had on the Great Salt Lake. Those memories are some of the best that I have of good times on the GSL. We had a standing joke that if I ever fell overboard and was lost on the lake, he would make sure that Renata would be in good hands.. Clint was one of the strongest supporters for saving the marina, in the turbulent 1980’s when the existence of the marina was in question at times in the record high waters when the breakwaters were washed out. He lobbied very strongly for the strategic role that the marina represented on a number of aspects, and supported us behind the scenes in our battle with Kennecott over their emission problems of the late 80’s, which were finally resolved with the new smelter and monitoring system. Later, as Captain, along with Steve Ingram on the Island Serenade, Clint safely brought tens of thousands of visitors to discover the miracle of the Great Salt Lake. I will always also remember him in his sailing whites on one of the stellar dinner cruises that we joined him for. As a park ranger, master mariner, and a truly good friend, Clint will be missed by both myself and Renata, as I am sure by the many other people whom he touched.. (and saved on the Great Salt Lake ). Clint, I trust you are enjoying your time at the helm, in the great sailing grounds in the heavens. *Ray Janus* *Lens On The Lake* AZ- 480.334.3600 <(480)%20334-3600> US & Canada- 866.750.4176 <(866)%20750-4176> Email: *mailto:rayjanus@earthlink.net <ray(a)mediamovers.com>* *http://www.lensonthelake.com/ <http://www.lensonthelake.com/>* *Join us on facebook at:* http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid= 308606593887 ------------------------------ *From:* GSL-Marina [mailto:gsl-marina-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] *On Behalf Of *Dave Shearer *Sent:* Friday, March 03, 2017 9:05 AM *To:* gsl-marina(a)mailman.xmission.com; 'Laurie Stickler' *Subject:* [GSL-Marina] SAD NEWS!

GOOD NEWS
by Dave Shearer 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

The lake is coming up fast. Four foot draft boats should be able to start getting out of the marina and back onto the lake sometime late next week. You could probably get out now by tipping the boat over a bit. Dredging is barely around the corner now.

28 Feb '17

Here’s Bonneville Sailing’s notice of its last free seminar for this year, during which the Grand Door Prize (new tiller) will be awarded. ~B. Pratt From: Bonneville School of Sailing Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 9:43 AM To: btpratt(a)infowest.com Subject: Last seminar, Summer Saistice 2017 Utah Lake breaks 50% full Catalina Yearbook Seminar Bonneville's Last Seminar for the Season This Thursday, March 2, 2017, 7 - 8:30 PM Utah Lake State Park Catalina Cruise #4 21 October, 2015 Chris, Orie, Lon Sr., Lon, Matt, Heli, Kevin (This was our fastest over and back trip ever. All under sail, averaging 6 knots, fastest speeds, 11 knots). Catalina Cruise #7 5 November 2016 Darin and Shannon catching some rays on the high side. Joel, owner of Rudder Craft, is at the helm. Come and join us as we sail back in time to Catalina Island. Each trip had something new to discover, something new to learn, something special to return to. If you have made "the crossing" with us, Please join us as honored alumni, and re-live each of the 7 unique and memorable Catalina experiences. Roger Crosland has put together a Power Point presentation on tips and tricks for sailing a cat. We'll present this right after the Catalina Yearbook. Grand Prize Give Away for Seminar #7 This Thursday, March 2, 2016, 7 - 8:30 PM, Utah Lake State Park. A beautiful Rudder Craft ash and mahognay tiller handle. Check out some of these historic tiller handles. If you would like to make your own memories of a crossing to Catalina, now's your chance. Join our Catalina Cruise #8, aboard a brand new Fountaine Pajot 44' catamaran. March 15 - 18, 2016. This is your brain on one of those Coast Guard Celestial Navigation Classes. This is your brain on Bonneville's Celestial Navigation Course. "I have taught navigation for many years and have taken other celestial navigation courses. This is by far the best and most thorough course I have ever taken." Emery Remember when you wrote your legislator, with your concerns about marine hazards damaging your boat, at the Provo Marina? Well...your voice was heard. (Although I have have my own thoughts on dredging timing), I have heard the closure of the Provo Marina referred to as the Provo Marina Migration. Let's load up the gear and head north to the Lindon Marina. If you haven't got a slip here...better hustle. lindonmarina(a)gmail.com Pretty sure the Lindon Marina does not have a Quagga Mussel Sanitation Station. If you are going to put a boat in Lindon, from any other body of water, give DNR a call before you splash here. When will Quagga Mussels hit Utah Lake? At one point I was told it was a done deal. and I think the possibilities are still good, but... if as a V.I.S.B.O. (very important sail boat operator), you feel wind instruments retrofitted to these yellow buoys, would make your recreating experiences safer on Utah Lake (feel free to share any actual terror, or worse things that have happened to you while sailing on Utah Lake), please contact Marshall Baillie ( mbaillie(a)utah.gov ) with your thoughts on the subject. Who knew that contacting your legislator would have been so well received? Maybe we'll be fortunate enough to have real wind data to warn us of dangerous lake storms. Get Certified Join us for our sailing instructors First Responders First Aid & CPR course. Coming this spring. You never know when you'll need it. Summer seems like a long way off, but before you know it... Summer Sailstice will be here, on June 23 - 24, 2017. So register now for cool prizes.
