We have a charter booked for July and I suspect that BB may not be an issue off season, if what I've read so far is accurate? but as a what if I am just starting to research. I haven't even looked at BB's website yet, but will soon. I've read more cons than pros in regards to how we plan our days. I am most concerned at knowing the layout of the moorings so when approaching a field I'll know what the heck I'm looking at, is the BB website the only accurate mapping of the fields? Are balls mixed here and there throughout the field? or clustered together?

We have had to race other boats into Cooper, one victory was the last available ball. But we've always arrived early enough to have a backup plan if ones not available, but I'm now curious if our nearby backup plans are also competitive in regards to the amount of BB's vs FCFS balls. We always wake up o-dark early, but trying to time the perfect 0700 reservation certainly isn't our style, I'll be cooking bacon!
