I've lurked on the forum for quite a while and really have trouble understanding the vitriol around advanced reserving of moorings. There is a real scarcity right now and I appreciate knowing I have a place to land without racing others to the mooring fields by noon. Personally, that's worth the 7am rat race and is no different than any other industry practices that involve advanced reservations for restaurants, parking, tickets, accomodations etc. I can appreciate that it ruins lunch business at Cooper and maybe there is a lunch reservation solution on BB that would be a way to help that. But if I am emailing the Ministry of Tourism people listed above, it will be in support of the BB model and advocacy for expansion of the total mooring ball supply. I suspect there are many others lurking these threads who feel similarly and are afraid of being flamed for speaking up in support of mooring reservation capability.
