set an alarm at 6:55 am and sign on to BB. At 0700 .
So in 5 minutes, you got up, signed into computer, pulled up BoatyBall , Logged in and navigated to the page, and selected desired ball....
I would suspect you got to this point sometime after 07:00:00 and thus you learned that Boaty Ball popular anchorages are usually reserved by 07:01.
I am usually up by 0630 while in BVI as I go to bed early. Have had a cup or too of Coffee and generally get the ball of my choice.If not, I arrive earlier in the day to hopefully get a FCFS ball, just as in the pre BB days.
