Hey Seaislegal, I like your thinking. Floating with cold Belikins is hard to beat. Just a heads up: I was buying pool chemicals at the pool store yesterday and they had a floating inflatable cooler for $19.00. Looks like it will hold at least 12 beers with ice. It even had drink holders on the side. Deflated it is about the size of a football. No need to paddle to the dock for a fresh Belikin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
