I told them to stick it, my wife wanted to move on. In all of my travels to the BVI, I have never heard such a ridiculous claim. I dont think that they even said please dont use it. Furthermore, they could have put there own dingy on the ball. They claimed that their friend had already paid for the ball and would be back. It was at Kellys Cove Norman Island, and there is no way that the mooring charges were already collected by 3pm. Our downside was that I planned on doing a night dive there.
