Ilheus/Malhado - Fuel & LPG
Diesel may be available from the yacht club, but it is a bit of a precarious operation as you have to anchor off and the hose is passed to you tied to a line!
There is no longer a dock or fuel berth in the main harbor.
LPG bottles can be filled by the gas distributor behind the yacht club.

We used the yacht club to go onshore and leave our kayak, as there are no other good places to go ashore. The club did not charge us anything. There seem to be no facilities like showers, and the restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday evening. Note also that the yacht club gate closes at 5 pm during the week, so you have to back by then to get to your tender.
The town is 1.5km away through a residential area. We felt safe and walked all over town. Supermarket Itao is open 7/7 and a short walk away.
The town itself is nothing special.
We went to the Capitania (Marinha) to check in after they had contacted the yacht club about us. Very friendly and forthcoming.
The anchorage is only pleasant in southerlies. In easterlies, it’s rolly, too. We did not swim, as sewage seems to be emptied into the bay.
The small port of the fisherman, do not exist anymore, is been build a wall and all the basin is completely close.
The only option for anchoring is in front of the Yacht Club together with the fisherman.
Good protection with the southerly wind but very bad and swelling with the northerly winds.
The Yacht club is very friendly and welcoming, even at the anchor and not on the buoy, they come to pick up us with the Yacht dinghy and we enjoy a good meal at the restaurant with live music.
