GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users.
Dry storage and the parking lot were cleaned up
today by the maintenance crew. Any loose or potentially dangerous objects
were removed. Much of this ended up in the dumpster. Some of it was
secured by the maintenance crew and can be claimed (I do not know what items
were secured). Most of the items that ended up in the dumpster was pure trash,
such as rags, paint cans, beer cans and bottles, paint brushed and trays, stir
sticks, gloves, damaged wood, etc. And then other stuff may have
blown into the swamp or on the beach between the marina and Saltair (I walked
the beach last evening and found a fair amount of marina debris as far as a mile
away). We did have some boat owners point out damage to their boats from
flying objects (including a ladder). If you had a ladder and can no longer
find it, check an adjacent trailer or check with the maintenance crew (or in the
swamp next to dry storage). Loose ladders we did find were not thrown
away. They were temporarily secured
We will begin working on debris in the water
today. What we find and feel is salvageable we will keep for one
week. After that it will be donated to the land fill. If you are
missing items from around your slip, please come see us before next
Wednesday. We may have found and secured it.
We will begin cleaning up the docks tomorrow
afternoon. Anything unsecured or not to policy will be removed. If
you have objects you want to claim and do not want removed, please remove it
yourself tonight, or email me so these items are not removed at this
time.. Please do not call my cell phone or office phone about items you
want to keep. I prefer emails where I can track items more easily. I will
check my emails on a regular basis.
Items secured to the docks, such as boarding
ladders, steps, dock boxes, power cords, hoses, spars or dingies (that are
properly secured and have had prior permisison to be placed on a dock finger)
will not be removed. Nor will satellite dishes that are properly and safely
secured. Grills securely attached to the dock will not be removed at this
time either, yet we may want to revisit this at a later date.
We are pushing to get this cleanup all complete by
this weekend. We are expecting another strong wind event by Saturday and
want to make that we have eliminated any potentially dangerous trajectories or
fuel spill hazards.
Thank you, for your understanding.
