A dozen and a half stubbies, apparently...

But I guess it should float, so some lucky boater will probably get a nice surprise!

Beer only floats in television commercials, I have found it's always at the bottom of the esky in the cold depths :roll:

With my luck if I found it it would probably be some vile brew from the CUB outfall :(
