Hi Quiet, If English is your third language you must be pretty good with numbers one and two as I read your original post as coming from someone with it as their original (and possibly only) language. I don't think you'll have much problem with surviving in Morocco without any French or Arabic. You'll be able to get the things you need for everyday use - fuel, food etc with a combination of pointing and writing (numbers - for stuff like prices), it's just that it becomes a bit wearying not being able to hold a conversation with anyone for a week or two - in the end you're even happy to talk to the touts.
Regarding the ferries, others may give you better advice but I've always just turned up at the ports and bought a ticket.There's plenty of ticket offices in the port at Algeciras.
