Moonrakers

The man on the radio mentioned the word, and of course I’d heard of it as the title of a James Bond film, but I’d never understood what it stood for. He talked of moonshine and how the makers of this illegal hooch would stow it in bottles underwater, in rivers or lakes, and by the light of the moon, would pull up their haul from their watery hiding places and partake of it.
