Ok, so after a long day of working on my tanks or at a bbq or at an event like last night I often enjoy one of my favorite beverages a Rum and coke especially with Coconut rum. I typically drink a cheap rum(so that I have more $ to spend on my tanks), but they were out of the type I typically get the last time I went to the store. I was 100% out at home and really wanted something, so I took a look at the more expensive Coconut rums. I discovered something I think is awesome!

I can now support the reefs while enjoying my favorite beverage. Something I never thought I could do before for fear of paly toxins in my drink. If only I could convince Santa to bring me a case:
Not sure this is the best charity in the world, but cool to see companies trying to make a difference even if it is just a marketing tool.
Just polished off my last bottle of Coconut Jack tonight. Good stuff and a good bit cheaper. In these rough ecnomic times we have to find ways to enjoy a good drink and still have $ left over to spend out our LFS.
Thank stinks Tim! I went to the Caribbean to study the reefs for a month last summer. I had planned on making a good impression on the team from NOAAā¦ I drank a bit too many rum and cokes on that trip.

Lol, my parents have enough rum to open a storeā¦ Whenever they go out of the country to the caribbean the bring back at least 2-3 cases. I would hate to see my basement catch fire, because thats gonna big boomā¦ A room full of rum, tequila, and everything else. Not that i have had any, but it LOOKS good. But if you ever travel back to the Caribbean pick up some cases. you can get it cheap tooā¦
yes, Caribean Rum is like a currency out in the islands. one time while cruising and fishing the northern islands with a couple friends on a 44 foot trawler, we traded big bags of frozen fish fillets from our onboard freezer, like Dophin, Tuna and Wahoo we had caught while cruising along , to sail boaters returning from the southern islands with a bilge full of cases of rum. Barter is the best way to go in the no mans land of the islands. we just put on our fins and swam a few hundred yards over to their sail boats at evening anchor, between uninhabited island anchorages, and bartered ten pound baggies of fresh frozen fish fillets for bottles of rum! we had tons of fish, and they had a bilge full of rum. Perfect trades. everyone had a fun dinner that night.
I need to do a trip like that again some timeā¦ It was fun!
Back home value of the tuna and wahoo and mahi mahi fillets was probable like $70 a bag per bottle of rum. But who cares, we could just catch more the next day. values change. we traded bags of fillets for a loaf of fresh baked bread from an old couples bread maker. worth every slice for grilled dolphin sandwiches.
Yummmm!!!
