This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/960,866, filed Oct. 17, 2007. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to recreational accessories. More specifically, the present invention is drawn to a beverage and food raft that provides a floating tray adapted to support refreshments thereon. 2. Description of the Related Art Water enthusiasts enjoy the camaraderie of friends and/or family at a gathering at a lake or family pool. Aside from the swimming and water sports, good food and drink enhance the festive atmosphere. Unfortunately, it is difficult enjoy the food and drink while in the water because there is no place to set a glass, bottle or a plate of delicious appetizers. Consequently one must leave the water to enjoy a favorite beverage or snack. A floating tray or platform where one may place an unfinished beverage or snack, or, alternatively, retrieve a beverage or snack, would certainly add convenience to a water-theme outing. Thus, a beverage and food raft solving the aforementioned problems is desired. The beverage and food raft incorporates a pontoon structure that supports a substantially flat upper surface. Recessed openings are spaced around the perimeter of the upper surface to accommodate drink receptacles. A central recess functions as an ice receptacle for chilling bottled and/or canned drinks. Also the openings can be utilized as a receptacle for an accessory cooler. Other recesses are strategically positioned and sized to retain bowls or plates containing various snack items. A plurality of openings are provided for towing or mooring lines. Interlocking handles are provided for securing multiple rafts together, if desired. Accordingly, the invention presents a floatation apparatus that functions as a repository for food and drinks during aquatic, recreational activities. The apparatus is relatively lightweight and can be easily stored when not in use. These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings. Continue reading about Beverage and food raft...
