Asilah - Docking
Anchor in between the small fishing boat moorings. The bottom is sand and it is best to anchor fore and aft to limit the swing and keep clear of the channel.
It may also be possible to raft up alongside the wall or a big fishing boat, (when a small gift of, say, a packet of cigarettes, would be much appreciated).
The swell is severe in this small harbour during the winter, at which season Tangier is a better option.
The harbour is shallow and entry should only be attempted in calm weather.
Plans for a marina here have been abandoned.

Asilah is not a Port of Entry! We sailed there in June, arriving just after daybreak. One (Coast Guard?) official came out to the boat as expected. The official asked most of the standard questions about us, and the boat. He took our passports, boat papers, and insurance information. We later visited his office, where we met others associated with the local Coast Guard contingent. All were very nice and accommodating. The ranking official gave us a ride to the local police station to see if we could get our passports stamped. We were denied, both passport entry stamps, and boat entry stamps. We were advised to go to Tangier, which we did.
