Bocas Information Fuel Issues

10:25 PM November 26th Bocas del Toro

The marina was not answering the phone this afternoon (757-9800), but I was told by a sailboat Captain they had two boats come in today for diesel. I don't know their current status, but I would think they are saving fuel for marina slip users.

Also, there was either some gas or diesel available at a station in Almirante this afternoon. The vehicles lined up for it and it is now all gone. The station owner said there is no more in town. One of the vessels bringing fuel and supplies (the landing craft) returned to Port Colon shortly after leaving there this morning (according to an Almirante Port official).

The two tanker trucks arriving in Bocas this morning brought enough fuel for the Bocas generator to run for about 15 days.

To stretch their fuel supply the ferry will not run again until Friday.

That's all I have at present. We will be enjoying Thanksgiving tomorrow and not checking the radio or other sources for updates. If anything important gets to me I will post it on the blog.
