We chartered back in 2016 and had to arrive at Cooper by noon in order to secure a FCFS ball for an evening stay. This was waaaaay before BB. I'm a little surprised that anyone who regularly follows this board would expect to arrive at Cooper around lunch time and secure a ball, without also encountering empty BB's. It's like showing up to the Caribbean during Christmas holidays and being surprised that you don't have the place to yourself. And then the icing on the cake is to talk about how Cooper's lunch time business is taking a hit, when there was intention to use a mooring, but not actually dine at the restaurant!
