Marina Waiting List
Due to the critical nature of moorage availability in the local area, we would like to offer some interesting statistics on the probability of obtaining moorage at Des Moines. To be as accurate as possible in providing this information, the Marina office has conducted a study utilizing computerized calculations covering a five year period that we just concluded on 15 January 2008.
We do want you to realize this is only an estimate of things to come. We could be wrong in the time period if something unforeseen should occur. But, if conditions continue into the future as they have progressed these past five years, this is what we are expecting. Again, this is only an estimate, which is based on the number of actual slips offered and includes forfeits or withdrawals during the previous years. While the smaller slips may have no wait at this time, they are usually full by mid-March.
