Can anyone envision a workable, practical way to solve this blatant disregard for the NPT overnighting problem.
If it was me (and it's not) - I would fine them. But not force them to move. Forcing them to move would probably be unsafe and might penalize the wrong people (the boat owners). I would institute hours that you can use the moorings. Say 0600 to 1900. If you're on the mooring ball outside these hours it's a $500 fine. When you pick up your NPT permit this is explained to you just in case you can't read. Problem goes away in a few months and raises some money for the BVI treasury. And the moorings can be used for their intended purpose. That's what I would do if I ran the zoo.
A good plan -- but as I asked - who does the enforcement??
And I doubt the problem will go away in a few months unless the powers that be strictly do the enforcement and it is widely publicized.
@Sailtowind mentions "be careful what you wish for"
"If I ran the zoo" ----- not a job anyone would really wish for IMHO!!
