Back Wind GOT A COMMENT? WE'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR IMPRESSIONS: taciturn@earthlink.net 6-7-00 Thank you for the web site and the Sail Fest Info! And your website?
Wow. I am impressed. I want to find a quiet time to go through it. With kids every day, every where that is hard to find....quiet time. ;) Your web site reads like a good book from the
heart. :) H. S.
4-19-99 Great job! I am really glad someone has taken the time to do the work you have! It is fortunate for all who are interested in the Great Salt Lake to be able to access such a well compiled web site! K. R. 4-19-99 Pat you have built an outstanding web page. Nice work. Thanks to you the Great Salt Lake is a better place. Hope to see you on the water soon!

4-10-99 Thanks for a TERRIFIC web site! You bring a beginner's enthusiasm that
I'm sure infects all of us. Besides, you have some great links and information that enhance the pleasure all of us feel while enjoying our beloved lake, one of the geological
wonders of the world. I'm a historian at Salt Lake Community College . . . I'm very interested in the history of the lake, and we should put our heads together sometime on resources
on that subject--although I think you've pretty well covered the literature I know about on the web site. Great sailing to you, G. T. 3-26-99 My work for the Air Force has given me numerous opportunities to visit Ogden and Salt Lake City and I was struck early with the beauty of the
area, especially the view of Antelope Island from Hill AFB in the evening. I think the only Air Force bases that have comparable vistas are Hickam AFB on Oahu, HI and Elmendorf AFB,
AK. I recently completed a plywood, fiberglass and epoxy 14' daysailer, and if I can talk my wife into a western vacation, a visit to the Great Salt Lake is definitely on
my list of activities. T. K. G. Heath, Ohio 2-17-99 I don't know if you remember us but we met you out at the
slips. You gave me your website and I have been finding it very helpful toward getting started. I like how it has put me in touch with the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club and the Utah
Sailing E-Mail lists. Your links were helpful too. Hope to have a boat this spring or summer and see you out there. S. & D. H. 1-2-99 Happy New Year ! I have visited your site a couple of times now, but tonight I got a chance to really sit down with it and browse. I didn't realize how much
material there was to it until I got to the SuperLinks and Scrapbook sections. Most sailing websites give the same old links. Yours is very special and informative. I still
haven't done them all. I'll come back again when I have more time. Keep up the good work! P. A. 12-28-98
Got your Web page bookmarked . . . a really great job and if there is anything I can contribute let me know . . . -- D. A.
12-5-98 Great
WEB Page! Tonight was the first time I saw your Great Salt web page. Great Job! Definitely added to my favorites list. -- G. M.
12-4-98 Hey! Way to go on the
web site. Just what I have been looking for. I sailed for the first time in my life on the GSL 14 years ago. I have been on land for that time and now am looking to go back to the water which is
calling me. I plan on teaching my two boys to become sailors. Mainly, I am thrilled because I can email this site to my boyfriend who is planning on moving here. He has about
6,000 miles ocean cruising experience . . . . He has many questions about the GSL and now I can convince him that what I experienced 14 years ago, is truly great sailing. Yes, there is
wind! Best of luck with your web site! -- H.S. 12-4-98 A new website, "The Great Salt" is singing the praises of sailing on the Great Salt Lake. Comparing it to the Sea
of Cortez, site owner Pat Swigart calls it a nearly overlooked sailing haven. The pages are still being built, but already there is plenty of information, with links and photographs, to get
a budding enthusiast started. -- Salt Lake Tribune; Dot.Com Column 11-29-98 Splendid Web Page! Thank you so much for a "chock-full-of-great-informational-things"
webpage. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and I am often too busy to visit webpages. I appreciate the wealth of information about Great Salt Lake, the Legacy Highway controversy and the
wonderful array of information for the "would be sailor". Good job mates. Keep it comin' . Most sincerely.
-- Lynn de Freitas, President of Friends of Great Salt Lake 11-23-98 The site looks great.. Really impressive. I am signing my form letters
against the Legacy Highway right now! Today the highway tomorrow the causeway!!!! -- T.G.
11-14-98 I'll be putting a link to your Great Salt pages onto my links list next
time I update it. John Kohnen, Mother of All Maritime Links 11-5-98 I just found your site. At last someone who understand and feels like I do about sailing, The Great Salt Lake,
and my boat (Not in order of affection). I am looking through your site kind of exploring . . . . Thanks for the great job on the page. -- J.B.

Hi, very nice page. . . . I like your page very much, I will put a link to it from my page, but mine is only a little about sailing. -- C.S. 10-?-98
I am writing to congratulate you on your 'fine sodium' sailing pages. A pleasure to read I must say! I would like to ask though, about whales. I heard that whales were
at one time shipped half way around the world to be dumped into the Great Salt Lake. [ See Zephyrs page] Impossible I say. However, with a lake so large and mysterious, such a whale
of a story is fitting. Every lake must have its myths. I have lived in Utah for only a short time, and will likely be leaving again soon. I've found pleasure in windsurfing on
the Great Salt Lake, and would like to learn to sail larger vessels as well. I have a list of 5 things I must do before I leave this state, and one of them is to learn as much as I can, to
become very well aquanted with, the Great Salt Lake. -- Josh GOT A COMMENT? WE'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR
