Have I seen you on another travel forum Gees? If so, then 10/10 for thorougness (is that a real word?)
Anyhow... Yes it's really easy to get a ferry. but you may be better to hit some Fuerte forums for info about the market.
Personally... I would recommed going to the PB markets! Wednesdays and Saturdays. They are help in two places at the same times.
The biggest is at Marina Rubicon (i've bagged a number o9f bargains here - including my latest sunglasses!) and the other is on the road from Playa Blanca to Femes, just past Sun Park (got some cheapie shorts there - but check out the fake designer handbags!)
Happy shopping!
