We left Anegada at 9,undecided about our next stop being Cooper or Peter or Norman. 

There is no reason that we should be forced to decide on a destination before 7am. Many factors will impact our choice. Such factors include wind and sea conditions.

We arrived at Cooper at noon.  Not one fcfs ball available. 

We only wanted to stop for lunch on board. Over a dozen bb unoccupied. We moved on. We did not want to borrow a bb. if the people arrive with the mooring reservation they would be stressed. No good reason to cause them stress.

Why should we be forced by boatyball to use boaty ball or avoid Cooper? 
The old fcfs system was fine.

There are not enough fcfs balls at Cooper.

It is the same situation at great harbour on Jost. That place is almost entirely boatyball.

A few days ago, We needed to clear back into the bvi. There was only 1 fcfs ball available. Lots of empty BB.

BB is out of control.

They are owned and controlled by foreigners. The come down here to establish relationships. That is working and I understand that they don't have permits.

I can wait for the day that they add pushed out of the BVI.
