Lots of folks do stupid things while sailing. All of us who sail or have sailed have done stupid things.

That Company of the orange moorings wants folks to feel entitled/enabled
to sail to their hearts content, knowing they have a RESERVATION on a mooring.

My point is that no one has a reservation on daylight, and daylength in the BVI doesn't vary anywhere near as much as daylength in the higher latitudes.

December 22 has the shortest daylength in the northern hemisphere. It just grows longer from that point to the summer solstice.
