We are at Cooper this morning— we were very lucky to grab a non-BB early this morning while someone was leaving. Right now all of the non-BBs seem to be taken, and all but 3 BBs are empty. I’ve watched 5 boats come through looking for a ball and then depart. It appears to me that the only way to snag a BB reliably is to ante up the $400 advance reservation fee. Whole thing seems like a racket and it’s a shame to see half the bay at Cooper empty, with plenty of BB’s open, while people come in unsuccessfully looking for a mooring.
