DIGITAL SIGN-OUT

The digital sign-out system will be reactivated starting Sunday March 1st. Please remember the following guidelines when using the system.

PADDLERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN

SAFETY AND PADDLE AT THEIR OWN RISK.

When the system is unavailable, you must ensure a trusted person knows: When you are leaving; Where you are going; How long you will be paddling; When you are safely back to shore.

Paddlers may sign out and in using their Amilia number, full name, or email address. The same information should be entered at both sign-out and sign-in. Automatic alerts are only sent if information matches that on your Amilia account.

The system shuts down automatically at the end of the day and will not allow sign-in after that point. Shut down times will be posted.

The system will be remotely monitored for the start of the season.
