Regarding the "free" mooring balls at Tintamarre and Columbier, I didn't think those were free. I was under the impression (from the base manager at The Moorings) that those balls are paid for from your park fee that you should pay - at some point to someone.

We pay a small ($6-7 I think) park fee when we get the boat, for each night we stay at Pinel or Columbier. We get a little slip of paper with a stamp on it proving that we paid. Now I'll grant you that nobody has ever asked to see those strips of paper but the implication was that there could be.

Are we being duped into paying those fees?
