Sword Fish Tournament

Monsters of the Sea

The Schwenn Team headed to Jupiter, FL to fish in an all night sword fishing tournament. After the 2.5 hour trip tailoring the boat and getting all the bait and food for the moon light drift, we cracked the inlet at 6:30 pm for our 8:00 pm lines in start. The seas were calm and the night was going to be a beautiful night. We headed approximately 20 miles due east, as the call came over the radio for lines in at 8:00 pm so the Schwenn Team dropped our giant squid to the ocean god’s. We were fishing in approximately 2,200 ft of water during our drift north. It was very slow at first and then at 2:00 am we had our first fish on! The reel started to sing and the boat all of a sudden became chaos. 45 minutes later we had our first sword in the boat. All the high fives were going on and as we were cleaning up the mess, we had the second line go off, fish on! 30 minutes later we had boated our 2nd Sword. That fish was just under size so it had to be released however we were able to count it as a catch and release. By the time we had picked up after the 2nd fish it was time to head to the port since the weigh in was 6:00 am and we were 40 miles from the dock. All in all the Schwenn Team placed 1st in the catch and release category and got to put swordfish steak''s in the freezer.

Vax Design

Mission Accomplished

This project was an interior build out of approximate 30,000 sq ft. We totally gutted all of the mechanical duct systems and some air conditioning systems. We had a very tight construction schedule as they all seem to be anymore, that''s okay, it''s what we do at Schwenn Services. Our new scope of work consisted of installing (14) new Carrier rooftop package units, with all new duct-work, exhaust fans & grilles. This job was completed on time and under budget.
