In the Scilly Isles I paid for water /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. The only place I have ever had to pay for it. And that takes into account some arid Mediterranean Islands.
[/ QUOTE ]Not been to Tobermory then? try taking on water at the pier there and some inbred will be down with the claw out for money.
Water (free) is available at the sailing club jetty but it is shallow there so only accessible an hour or two each side of HW (fin keeler).

I freeze 2 litre milk bottles of water. They last about 24-36 hours a piece. There's enough space in the ice box on board to take 4, so cold beers for a week.

Most boats of 70's ... 80's vintage as Centaurs, Pageants etc. had built in ice-box under the main cabin settee.
Actually my boat doesn't have the insulation and plastic box fitted as she should have. First owner never fitted it. Left the space as general locker.

Re: ICE. Whatever happend to.....
I usually freeze bread loaves, anything really that when thawed you can eat, drink ... but when freezing doesn't split the packaging.
When my boat was trucked over from UK to Latvia. It was on road for 4 days and stuck at arrival port overnight. So in effect 5 days.
The Cool-box I just wired up was used to transit : 1 large Turkey for Xmas Dinner, 2 large packs of Pork & Beef sausages (200 in all !), various other small items all packed into the box. Frozen before packing of course. 2 large ice cube packs from supermarket added to help.
When boat arrived in Latvia - all was still in good frozen condition and much enjoyed !!

There is now pontoon access to free water at all tidal states for fin keelers at Tobermory.
Yes, MacBrayne had a policy of charging a standard rate for taking on water. In practice, you took on water and then went to pay the guy who made sure you couldn't find him - they were always embarrassed about it.
Mind you, perhaps my surname was also an advantage there. My great grandfather and his father were boatbuilders there. ;-)
