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.
