I remember in Ft. Walton Beach before the Mega we were racing on the inside for the Pan Am qualifier (that Paul Hess eventually won). Right next to the beach -- a very short pub-crawl away -- was a bar built on the water.

It was hot each day -- real hot -- and after we got off the water, we would crawl over to the bar and order up drinks (can't remember their name now!) that had softie ice cream, 151 rum, kahlua, and creme de cocoa. Man, what a way to "cool off" after the heat on the water.

They were so rich and so good. And they mixed the ice cream idea with rum -- how perfect can that be!!
