: Ah yes- the more rum you drink the more fish you'll see! Actually
: the rum is cheaper than the mixer, and if you can believe some
: argue even cheaper than the ice. (purified water and electricity
: to make ice) So you can imagine how a frugal bartender pours a
: drink! Fortunately I am a light drinker. Two beers and it's a
: party. I rarely drink mixed drinks. Unfortunately I'm an anomaly
: down here. I have seen too many lives disrupted by the stuff.

: Sounds like you went to Buck Island. I like to go to the shipwreck
: there and freedive past the scuba tourists. It's just fun when
: they're all rigged up in their gear and I go swim by at 40 feet.
: I always just swim along as far as I can then double-back behind
: the hull and disappear, sneaking behind them to come up for air,
: leaving them to ponder where I went. I always wanted to get a
: king Neptune outfit and do that. I imagine them getting back to
: the boat and saying "no more rum punch for me please."

Hi Malcolm,

I see nothing has changed since I was down there while in the Navy, they made rum and cokes with just enough coke to color the drink. When I was young and dumb it seemed a good idea ;)
