Port and starboard poop deck, roll out the guns, give em a broadside !

This old sailor is a wee bit overwhelmed......boaty ball has erupted into a bloody war. I really do not think that their idea of reserving their specific moorings was going to result in all this mayhem.

What will us long time , happy hour rum loving, sail trimming sailors do ?

KEEP IT SIMPLE AND JUST KEEP ON SAILING THE BVI LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE..

We are not going to get involved in boaty ball. There are FCFS moorings, and sometimes slips are available. we like the easy feeling that moorings and slips will allow confidence that our boat is secure..
If anchoring, for additional safe feelings, we would anchor away from the masses, using a bahamian moor.

We do not plan to use boaty ball, The boaty balls have reserved written on them and they look totally different from the More Secure moorings. For what is worth, back on Kauai, we stay off posted lands that say Kapu.
Simply put, PRIVATE LAND , STAY OUT ! We respect that. We respect those who have reservations with boat ball.

After reading most of the above posts we just plan to sail our 36 ft. monohull, just the two of us, normal procedure, and yes we will leave or previous mooring early, but that gives us more time to pick up a FCFS mooring, and get in our snorkeling early,

However, I also realize that many bare boaters are sailing the fanastic BVI, for only ONE WEEK......That time is going to pass at warp speed. .

Just our observations, we all on the mainland live or have lived at the speed of light.....tooooo faaaast. If ti is possible, and sometimes the demands of businesss, etc, preclude that TWO WEEK OPTION. ....but lordy, two weeks would
make the BVI sailing vacation, more on ...well, ISLAND TIME, and not a rapid sea world experience on a floating light speed sea going hotel. Is that possible, probably not for most folks until retirement kicks in. .

We all have to enjoy the BVI, as best we can, may your sailing vacation be the best ever.
