The Ice Cream Boat

The life of a pontoon pirate

June 2013 Feature
Down near Ponce Inlet, Fla., a sandbar magically appears when the tide of the Intracoastal Waterway recedes. Called Disappearing Island, the locals know they are going to have deal with pirate activity if they dare make their way down. Luckily the resident pirate is 61-year-old Michael Nelson and he makes his living by selling ice cream off his pontoon instead of robbing and pillaging passing vessels.
