To be clear it is a white ball with a blue stripe and an orange sticker attached. I paid the $40 online. At 6:30 pm 2 people in a dinghy come by to collect the fee. We stated we paid for the FCFS ball online. He said no, we need to pay him - the orange moorings are boaty ball moorings - not the white ones with a blue stripe.. We stated that we aren’t paying twice and we did what we were supposed to do according to boaty ball website. Then he stated he is getting someone to deal with us and left in a huff. What a welcome!

Describe the boat and person. Boaty Ball will contact the mooring ball owner. Sue s/v Ripple Leopard 40
