GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users I know the timing of all these projects hitting this weekend is going to make parking a challenge on Friday and Saturday. I apologize in advance. But here is what's going on: 1. Crane Day Saturday. We will be blocking off the south parking lot on Friday Evening. Please plan on not parking there until Saturday afternoon. If you are bringing a boat into the marina before crane day, please park it on the gravel section of the North parking lot next to the other boats and trailers. DO NOT BLOCK ANY PART OF THE PARKING LOT. There are quite a few boats on this crane day so it will be a long day with parking challenges. 2. Mast Hoist. There is some very heavy construction equipment down our Ranger Dock Service Road. work will be ongoing Friday and posiby Saturday. Please do not block or park on this road. 3. Dredging Equipment (Yes, I finally said it). IF WE DO NOT RUN INTO ANY SNAGS TOMORROW, the dredging equipment will be showing up on Friday. We will try to actually store as much of this equipment on the breakwater as possible but some of it may be in the North parking lot. We will need unhindered access through this section of parking so please contain your vehicles to actuall parking stalls as best as possible. The arrival of dredging equipment should only be a problem for Friday. We do not anticipate equipment arriving Saturday or Sunday. The barge will not be arriving until Monday at the earliest so access to the lake from the marina will not be a problem until Monday. BUT, if you do not need to go sailing next week, we would request you don't until the dredging is complete and depth inspected. I will be sending an email either today or tomorrow that outline the dredging plans. It will have a plan for brief lake access time periods each day of dredging. But, Again, if you don't need to go sailing, please don't. We would prefere to check the marina mouth after the dredging to make sure no debris or problems have created a hazard. The timing of all these projects just happened to make for a busy weekend. But Two of these projects will create a significant improvement to the marina. I do not want to delay either one of them. So many people have scheduled for time off for Crane Day that I don't want to affect their schedule either. The parking in the south basin is going to be the toughest for the skullers and kayakers. I apologize for this inconvenience. This will mainly be a Saturday problem for you. I hope you understand and we will free up access as soon as possible on Saturday. Thank you, for your understanding. Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake Marina
