We definitely felt like we were 'off the schedule' with our Tuesday to Tuesday charter. Certainly less crowded than if we had done the typical Saturday to Saturday schedule. I think there was only one other boat leaving Horizon the day we left.

Boaty Ball was a bit of a blessing and a curse. I got lucky and was 3 for 3, but setting an alarm for 6:50am to get up, get on Boaty Ball and refreshing the page until the clock hit 7:00am felt a bit like trying to buy concert tickets from Ticketmaster. That said, knowing we had a ball reserved took away the stress of not knowing if we'd have a ball when we got there.
