Accessory for recreational floatation device

Abstract

A device fabricated from elastic material and removably attached to a recreational floatation device, such as an inner tube. The device is constructed from sheets that are attached together (by sewing or the like) to form internal chambers. Two of the formed chambers are employed to house ice and beverage containers. Another chamber(s) can be utilized to house small items, such as keys. Openings are positioned in the device to provide access to the chambers. The device is wrapped around a floatation member and secured thereto. Fasteners are utilized to accomplish the securing.
