Most likely a fellow Canadian!
Most likely the cooler still had some wobbly pops in it!

IS anybody going to explain how he got out there?

Whoever made that cooler and multiple beer brands should sponsor this guy. You’re all afraid to drive in the rain and this guy literally rode out a hurricane. How many beers were drank while floating? What a mad lad

Why was he on a boat during a hurricane?
