Call Gerry @ Mills Landing 1-877-728-2301 or email, cottages@millslanding.com to see if their ice machine is up and running now.

Damn, here I clicked this thread thinking a major climate shift occured and we had ice bergs floating down our coast. Glad to see I'm clueless and navagation isn't going to be a problem till the Japan debris hits.

haha sorry knotty...a little vague! No bergs yet!

Mills came in handy last year...just wondeing if there were any canneries or the like in Port that will just load up a cooler, rather than buying bags upon bags....

I had a x-large cooler filled down on the Quay in PA for around $10. It wasn't salt ice though, just regular ice.

I had a 2x2x4 cooler filled in Alberni by my buddies for around $90.00 I thought that was way too steep!! But I had no say in the matter because I was already half way to Bamfield in the boat. This summer I will just buy it at Mills!!!!

Try St. Jean's in Port Alberni, they always have salt ice.

Last year at French Creek in Parksville it was $15 for a large cooler.

Actually they don't at this point - haven't geared up for that yet for the season. The Codfather (Harbour Quay) does though. 5 clams per 5 gallon bucket - bring your own cooler obviously.

Was better when Port Fish was operational. Could usually get a whole coffin full for 10 bucks. Unfortunately no longer an option...

Cheers,

Jees, that's still $36.00 to fill one of my Igloo coolers. 165 liters.
