When the supply and demand issue goes away there will be no need for Boaty Ball at all... everything can go back to being FCFS and wouldn't life be so much more straightforward. Also lets not kid ourselves, booked time slots for moorings through the day? Thats a crazy idea. There are enough issues with people grabbing moorings that they have not 'reserved' already via BoatyBall. That would only get substantially worse if you were trying to claim your time slot from someone over running at lunch ashore!
