We appreciate boaters desire to disconnect while in the BVI. It is one of the reason we fell in love with it years ago. We know this is not a solution for everyone and we are not forcing it on anyone. We understand why boaters would not want to use the app. We also understand that for an experienced boater this might not have the same value as it would for a less experienced boater who is not comfortable anchoring. I would like to share some of the things we have learned in the last 10 days during this pilot.

1. There is a large number of boaters who want the ability to reserve mooring balls in the BVI.
2. Without enforcement at the local bay the system falls apart
3. The overwhelming majority of boaters have respected the rules
4. Charter companies support the program and will take action towards captains when made aware of bad behavior
5. The web based app is working as designed with no technical issues
6. The app has been intuitive for most users
7. Many boaters want a first come first serve option
8. The 11 am check out and 2 pm check in time has caused confusion
9. With same day reservations we have had limited requests for cancellations
