How does BB annoy cruisers? I have talked with many who have been very satisfied. Not one complaint. How many have you talked to? There are a few complaints on the other thread alone.

Trying a short cut to a question, since the major boaty ball thread is huge and possibly convoluted.
1. Are all of the boaty ball moorings, identified as boaty ball....the orange and blue, with RESERVED noted on the moorings. We know to stand clear of those..
2. Is boaty ball managing other moorings, and people can reserve them, but they are not marked or painted as boaty ball moorings.
3. Are boaty balls moorings of any kind, painted as boaty ball, or just white, or noted as more secure, under tcontrol for reservations thru boaty ball . Does this include other harbors..
Lets say, we come into a mooring field at Cane Garden Bay, or even Leverick. or Cooper, or Jost, etc. There are moorings that appear to be first come first serve/ They DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE BOATY BALL MOORINGS.
Are those white mooring balls, really first come first serve moorings, or does boaty ball , have an app, that people can reserve those unmarked moorings.
We feel if the mooring cans are not identified in boaty ball colors , they should be available to first come first served. We pay at the bar, or dock master, or the boats that come out for payment.
Any scoops would be appreciated.
Thank you
Denny and Erica

YES

NO

ALL HAVE BOATY BALL MARKINGS AND ARE ON APP...NOTHING ELSE IN PLAY
Lets say, we come into a mooring field at Cane Garden Bay, or even Leverick. or Cooper, or Jost, etc. There are moorings that appear to be first come first serve/ They DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE BOATY BALL MOORINGS.
CORRECT - SEE ANSWER TO (1) and (3)
Are those white mooring balls, really first come first serve moorings, or does boaty ball , have an app, that people can reserve those unmarked moorings.
FCFS - NO APP

THEY ARE

I starting sailing in the BVI mid 70s What a difference from today.. I started early 70’s to 83 then I had to work (had a baby girl) and started sailing again in the mid 90’s What a difference it was back then.
