GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users As you know, the water has been shut off to all the docks, the pump-a-head and the porta potty rinse station. Water will remain on at the restrooms, freezeless faucets at the rinse station and the parking lot, freezeless faucet by Ranger dock. In preparation for winter shoveling we are requesting the cooperation of all our slip renters. This is to make the docks safer and snow removal easier. Following is a list of things we would like help from the marina users by November 4th: a.. Please remove your hoses from the docks. Place them on your boats on take them home. They are a trip hazard and make snow removal dificult. b.. Please remove any power cords not being used. If you are using your power cord please make sure they are of the proper type as per marina policy. Make sure they are not draped in the water. Please make sure they are secure and as non-obstructive as possible (Cords that are not of the proper size or are draped in the water will be tagged and removed). c.. Pleaes remove batteries, spars, grills and other items not being used from the main section of the dock. Please do not store these items on the fingers either. d.. Please remove all dinghies from the main dock section and from the water (unless properly secured in the confines of your own slip. 'K' dockers; please remove all your dinghies from the main dock and from the water at the beginning of the dock. These boats fill with water and then sink causing stress to the dock. SEE NOTE BELOW. e.. Please remove dinghies from the fingers of the dock. If the dinghies are turned upside-down, securely tied to the dock and your slip neighbor does not mind, then these dinghies and kayaks may remain on the slip fingers. Realize though, that this finger will not be shoveled for snow. f.. Make sure your dock lines are prepared for a long windy winter. g.. Make sure your scuppers are cleared of all debris so your boat won't be a sinking hazard. We already have two boats (one on 'I' dock and one on "L" dock) that are taking on water due to clogged scuppers. h.. Make sure your furlers are secured. better yet, If you do not plan on using your boat on a regular basis, you may just want to remove your sails. i.. Make sure your rigging and halyards are secure. NOTE: Many of you plan to use your dinghies for the upcoming Pumkin Patch. Please do so. We just want these dinghies removed from the water and properly secured by the 4th of November. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call the office. Thank you Dave Shearer Harbormaster Great Salt Lake State Marina
