A local sculptor Geoffrey Smith

Geoffrey Smith created a 3500 pound bronze sculptor of a 16 ft tall marlin jumping out of the water in pursuit of a school of tuna. This artwork is in front of the new Harborage Yacht Club in Stuart Florida. The artwork is just magnificent to see up close and I can't wait to see it with water in the fountain. But here are a few pictures of it being installed.

It was easier for Geoffrey Smith to polish it before it went up.


It was finally moving and ready to be stood upright.

Now the huge bolts have to be threaded into the stainless steel plate.


Now the Marlin can be temporarily put on the pedistal to find out where to drill the holes for the bolts.





The guys measured and are taking care of the bolt holes that need to be drilled




Incredibly this huge monster will be glued to the pedistal with epoxy which will hold 7000 lbs of pressure .It looks like the long awaited project that started over a year ago is now just about finished.


Trunk or Treat

My kids go to a great little school and they do a Trunk or Treat. The kids had a hay ride around the school property that was pretty cool. And then they had a pinata for the kids before they went back to their classrooms for separate parties. This was a lot of fun for the kids and they stay safe.


The Superheros (Kaiden is the Power Ranger and Kieran is Superman) trying to get onto the Hayride.
Bad guys Beware!!!



The Superheros made it on and now for the ride.

Getting the blog updated

I have been so busy that I neglected updating my blog. I know that it is really important and will update it much more often.
