Abstract

The drink caddy came to me when I was crabbing and got thirsty for a drink. I had no place to store my drink as I was wading in two feet of water. A simple solution came to me where I could easily pop in a beverage into a holder that I could suspend by clipping onto the beltine of my shorts. My drink would be easily accesible and would swivel should I have to bend over while crabbing. In addition the empty can would be stored until I could dispose of it properly in a trash receptacle.
