Great Salt Lake • The saltiest sailors on the planet watched their sailboats get hoisted out of the Great Salt Lake Marina on Thursday and wondered when they might feel the rush of wind across the water again.
The only operating public marina on Utah’s inland sea was hopping as state park managers, members of the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club, a crane company and the Coast Guard Auxiliary started the two-day process of lifting 80 sailboats out of the water and onto trailers or high cradles, where many of them will sit in the marina parking lot until the water in the lake is deep enough to handle the boats.
