It turned out that not only is there no room in the marina for visitors but
the only source of diesel is a petrol station in the town. Not much use if
you need hundreds of litres. There is a commercial dock but the size of the
concrete wall and the big rafted trawlers make it impossible to get near the
pump. Water is also a problem without sneaking into the marina. There are
supermarkets but stuff would need ferrying by dingy. Decided to go to
Vilamoura tomorrow which is 20 miles back along the coast to the west.
