FAQ’s

  • Is there a DBMS Staff Member on site during Log Book hours?
    • Yes. There will always be someone in the main office monitoring the base radio.
  • What if there is a rowing class when I want to check a boat out?
    • There are some mornings where the Log Book Rowing windows overlap with regularly scheduled Rowing Classes. Please confirm what equipment is available with Suzanne – suzanne@dbms.org
  • Where can I row in the Bay?
    • You may row anywhere within radio range so long as you are within 100 yards of the shoreline. You may not row in the channel. Log Book Rowing is scheduled around high tide to ensure your row will not require you to travel via the channel. Please steer clear for your own safety.
