Smith Island Waterman’s Glass Float Hunt
From now until Labor Day Weekend – Waterman’s Float Hunts are popular activity in coastal communities throughout the country. 30 glass floats, which are glass orbs about the size of an orange, will be hidden on Smith Island during the hunt period. Floats will be numbered and bear the notation of Smith Island 2022. Most floats are bluish or greenish glass except for two special colored orbs made by glass artist, Jeffrey Auxer, a glass artist in Berlin, Md. These floats are numbered #29 and #30. One of these special orbs will be hidden on Tylerton and one on Smith Island Road. Floats will be hidden at various times once weekly during the hunt, not all at once. They will only be hidden in public walking areas, never on private property. Please be respectful of this when taking your scenic walk on your hunt. This is ‘finders’ keepers’ but we ask that you only keep one so others can participate. If you find a second, feel free to leave it where it is, or re-hide it. Finally, if you find a float send an email with the float number to Smith Island United at smithislandunited@gmail.com. Thank you to Mary Ada Marshall and Jay Fleming for their donations to this fun event.

From now until Labor Day Weekend – Waterman’s Float Hunts are popular activity in coastal communities throughout the country. 30 glass floats, which are glass orbs about the size of an orange, will be hidden on Smith Island during the hunt period. Floats will be numbered and bear the notation of Smith Island 2022. Most floats are bluish or greenish glass except for two special colored orbs made by glass artist, Jeffrey Auxer, a glass artist in Berlin, Md. These floats are numbered #29 and #30. One of these special orbs will be hidden on Tylerton and one on Smith Island Road. Floats will be hidden at various times once weekly during the hunt, not all at once. They will only be hidden in public walking areas, never on private property. Please be respectful of this when taking your scenic walk on your hunt. This is ‘finders’ keepers’ but we ask that you only keep one so others can participate. If you find a second, feel free to leave it where it is, or re-hide it. Finally, if you find a float send an email with the float number to Smith Island United at smithislandunited@gmail.com.

We encourage all to come and watch at the city pier as the P-520 patrols the waters and conducts a weapons drill. The P-520 will return at 12:45 to the marina and load our guests of honor for a private cruise. On returning we will conduct closing ceremonies and close the event out by 4 PM. We are asking Wounded Warriors and Gold Star families to RSVP so we know how many to plan on.
If you would like to be a part of this event, contact me at the email address below. We also need help from businesses to assist with dock prizes and expenses. If you would like to have your business mentioned and come out and be a part of this great event, let us know through the email address. If you are a vendor and would like to possibly set up a tent, contact us below. The Crew of the P-520. lewis.palmer@louisvillenavalmuseuminc.org
