Ice cream boat in the Solent :-)

[zambant]

Yes its true... ice cream and chocolate delivered whilst at anchor in Osborn Bay on Sunday.

You cant miss them - Ice Cream written in large letters near the bow and a big cone on the top!!

£2.50 or £3 with a flake.

Not the cheapest but what a great idea..... I love it....and the ice cream was good.

No connection just a satisfied customer.

 

[Giblets]

Very reasonable prices. The bloke on Southsea front was charging £2.99 for a single flake 99 on Saturday. How enterprising - English Heritage won't like that!

 

[BruceDanforth]

It sounds absolutely terrible. Give me an isolated North East anchorage in preference any day.

 

[nimbusgb]

Enterprising at least.

Ed,you are right, the more isolated you are the better!

I suppose you have to fly Answering Pennant, Flag Kilo?

They have that provided by two very pretty young ladies off Nice, both nearly wearing bikinis .....

Haven't a clue how much they charged me

Two scoops??

Based at hamble point and been there for a few years! Great idea and always happy to pay for an ice cream in the sun!

To hell with ice creams - did they deliver your morning paper?

Could not believe my ears when someone called on 16 asking for the frequency of the ice cream boat.

Once a day?

Heard this too, now I've heard everything!

USed to be a chap going around Studland anchorage many years ago in an ex Royal Marine Ridged Raider (Dory) with several large cool boxex on board. Off course this was before the Seahorse days..........

We turned left out of Cowes yesterday as far as Yarmouth and back... could have done with an ice cream on the run home! Sunshine on a bank holiday Monday. Amazing!

I've seen a fully decked out Walls barge in Poole Harbour before.

At a tangent to this, my sisters, best friends father started to run a boat on the broads selling a variety of well made fresh dishes together with shop service / ice cream.(he was a trained chef) only the ice cream made real money.
