The problem of larger demand then supply has been there before BB....the OP hoped BB would solve that but it really didn't, did it? Even worse is getting a BB and coming to an anchorage late and then finding someone squatting on it. The owners used be on this blog and were at best disingenuous about what they were doing which did them no favors.

To be fair to BB we avoid Cooper because of poor service as well. Anegada usually isn't an issue as anchoring is easy...

The best solution we have found is to go off cycle...i.e. Anegada over a weekend by example. I use BB as proxy to see how full a harbor is at any point. By example if there are open Boaty Balls at CGB we can reasonably assume there will be FCFS open.

Hopefully as pay systems get easier the belongers will take it back...

In June it shouldn't be an issue as it is off season...

All IMHO but not a BB fan
