It’s my understanding Boaty Ball doesn’t own the Balls, they just provide the service for the owners to allow us to reserve and pay by credit card. I assume the owners need to work with the government to have replacement balls or new balls put in place and we know how challenging that can be.

Until more balls are added, BEYC and Saba reopen, it will be challenging because the demand outweighs the supply of balls. This week is especially challenging due to the number of charters for the holidays.

We do like Boaty Ball because it provides us the time to enjoy our entire day and know we have a ball at night.

Yes, we can anchor (and do anchor) but prefer not to while on vacation because we’d rather sleep at night than be on anchor watch. Even with anchor alarms we prefer a good nights sleep.

We also like the comfort of knowing the balls are really maintained properly.

The convenience of paying with a credit card is nice too.

We see BB as an option. People can get a BB, FCFS or anchor.

Options are nice.



Can anybody show me evidence the the BB are maintained better than the FCFS balls?
