Working on our itinerary for mid-April. I was wondering about how many FCFS mooring balls are available in Great Harbour, JVD? My understanding is that Boaty Ball has taken over quite a few mooring balls and is nearly impossible to reserve through them. We never had a problem getting a mooring ball in the past at Great Harbour but we have typically chartered in June. What time do you estimate we need to arrive to get a mooring ball in mid April? If we can't get a ball in Great Harbour our back up plan is Little Harbour. Is there a taxi from Little Harbour to White Bay? Is it an option to dinghy to White Bay from Little Harbour? It looks to be about 2 miles and the longest distance we have gone in a dinghy is from Leverick to Prickly Pear island. Thanks for your help. There are taxis available in Little Harbor. I would start with Abe. He runs a taxi. If he is not available ask at Sydney's or Harris' Place. They will call you a taxi. In calm conditions you could dinghy from Little Harbor to White Bay. In any kind of chop it would be a wet ride especially in a full dinghy.

How many FCFS balls do they have?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

We love Little Harbour and haven’t been for a few years. Great to have all the info and will be looking at this for our upcoming April and May trips .
