Please don't flame back too much (this is such a hot topic), but:

Why does BB induce stress? What happened without BB when arriving somewhere with all the FCFS balls already taken? If anything, that should induce stress -- but of course we should all have backup plans.

And for the situations people describe of boats racing to get the last FCFS ball, didn't that also occur before BB?

I'm not a constant visitor to the BVI, but in 2011, that was my experience, especially trying to spend an evening at Cooper. Lunch, yes, there's an issue to work out.

But overall, I much prefer being able to plan ahead. I contend with that all the time sailing in the northeast. Am I the only one using something like Dockwa to plan ahead?
