Mom tells of the old days at Braun Bay, a boat sold mixed drinks without the alcohol. So you could buy like a pina colada or strawberry daquari and just add you own booze.

I think someone could make some easy summer cash by loading up like a convenience store. Bottles of Coke and Pepsi, drink mixers, chips and salty snacks, maybe even hotdogs and rolls. Then of course add some ice cream and maybe cooked dogs.
I have known the ice cream guy since he was a toddler. I use to babysit him along with his brothers and sisters when I was a young teenager. I was his mother's helper on day trips to Storyland etc. Our day trips were always an adventure. His mother's car broke down several times as we traveled about. He lives on an island going into Green's Basin.
