It's that racing to Cooper that exists with or without BB, at least in my limited experiences. As for July, I don't know. I've been monitoring BB for the past couple of months, and, yes, in high season, they usually go quickly at 7:00 a.m. sharp. I'm chartering the first week of March, and intend to use BB. I personally like the concept, but I guess I'll soon find out if it works in practice in high season. Maybe I'm just used to high contention in the areas I usually sail in. I do appreciate all the comments everyone makes here.
