An unusual sculpture entitled “Hurricane Man” is on display at the Miami International Boat Show this weekend. The figure is made from the wreckage of the docks of Shake A Leg Miami, which were destroyed when Hurricane Irma plowed through Florida on September 10, 2017. Designed by Harry Horgan, founder of Shake-A-Leg Miami, Hurricane Man is a poignant symbol of recovery and new possibilities in the aftermath of the terrible storm.
Shake A Leg Miami is South Florida’s largest community watersports program, offering sailing, boating, kayaking and other programs for children, adults and veterans with disabilities as well as able-bodied members of the community. The Coconut Grove facility’s docks and sailing fleet were destroyed by the winds of Irma. A major rebuilding and recovery effort is underway to ensure the community’s continued enjoyment of Shake A Leg programs for years to come.
