(Edit: Jack, this thing needed its own thread. Smiley Cool! (no pun intended))

When the day is done and its Miller time I take it up a step or two. My daughter bought me a great little blender. When stowed the base can be put inside the blender container. When its all assembled it can be C clamped to just about anything. It has a two speed function with a crank handle. Yes it will chop ice. It is also addaptable to a cordless drill. Man oh Man when the day is over a cold Margaritta beats a beer anytime.

Oh Sweet!

I gotta get me one of those! 

Is there a brand or link or something I can do a search with?

With this, I can finally do something to improve that lukewarm grog CaptK keep giving me! Grin

This was another casualty of Katrina and one of the more painful losses. While completely impractical aboard, this was the coolest blender we've had.

If that thing won't blend it, it don't need blending.

The green Blender looks like a Blendzilla. Saw one at last years Lats and Atta party Poulsbo Washington.

Nope, I bought it for a three day bachelor party I hosted. I got it online here:

Hey Jack Tar,

When I first saw this blender - about a year ago - you were extoling its virtues on the Lats and Atts site. Being Captain Gadget, I promptly dusted off my VISA and ordered one.

I practically drooled dreaming of the drinks I'd be making while on the hook.

When I got it. I unwrapped the packaging, assembled it as instructed, rinsed it out and proceeded to mix up a creamy drink. Two cranks with the handle and it got really hard to turn - figuring it was the mechanical gearing advantage I proceeded to put some of my considerable weight into it.

The plastic mounting for the gear train broke and its been sitting in pieces ever since.

 Sad

Just a warning - if you get one - don't put too much force into it - either that or just don't let me mix the drinks Smiley

Cheers!

So why haven you sent it back for a warranty claim ? Havent had any trouble with mine. It did a great job again this year at the Lats and Atts Poulsbo party.

After Christmas, I found one of the Magic Bullet Blenders for $10.00 - regularly 2 for $99.00 PLUS about $50.00 for S&H!! I have one for home that I got at a discount store for $58.00 (no S&H) and now I have one for Milenka. Yes, it runs of regular power, but for 30 seconds, I don't think that it will be that much of a drain on the battery.

The neat thing is that you can make drinks in the handled mug (comes with 4) and then just use the mug to drink out of.

Magic Bullet :
I saw those on TV. WOW !!

$10.00 is a great price! You can not beat that with a oar!!  Cheesy
 I was going to get one, but did nto like the reviews people on Amazon gave them. I got one like it, but with a stronger motor will chop ice!
"Tirbest" cheaper than a new retail Bullet, works better, for us anyway

 Grin If you intend to cruise for any distance, particularly on a small boat, you best get used to no ice.

It isn't easy to find in all places, sometimes isn't real clean when it IS found and can really be a pain to keep.

Best plan on using the ice box when ice is readily available and learn to do without it other wise. You'll have a lot easier time going cruising that way.
