The seasonal service began in the years when there  were few roads in the rural southern Wisconsin lake area and many homes could only be reached by boat.   The boat captain would pass as close to the home’s dock as possible and the delivery person would jump off onto the dock, quickly drop mail in the box and run and jump back on the ever-moving boat.  The delivery job is normally handled by high school or college kids during their summer breaks.
