Once awhile you find the perfect fit! Patriot Sportfishing Charters fits the bill..... Luxury fishing aboard an incredible yacht (18' beam) with a Chef and a Professional Angler not to mention 2 amazing Captains Greg & Trevor. They along with the capable deck hands give you the experience of a lifetime. They did for me catching a 190 BlueFin on the Kite, my personal best. Did I mention the food, Landen is a culinary Chef who we dine with. Yes, dining on a Sportfisher 60 miles out, sometimes in some pretty rough seas. Sleeps comfortably 12 customers with a great shower and head that even the Ladies will love. Fresh linens and heavy comforters for an enjoyable nights rest and plenty of space to have a poker game. This is Michelin 5 Star Fishing for everything from 200 lb tuna to limits of delicious Calico Bass. Just bring an overnight bag with some clean clothes just in case you get bloody. I'm a 100% handicapped and they took care of my every need and desire. Great rigged tackle of EVERY style of fishing imaginable and the Professional Chris Schitt has huge credits for leading teams to major jackpots in the World. The man can catch fish! Safety is mandatory and the Captain's are serious about making sure your safe. PLUS they know where to go!

Robert De Niro Dives Off a Yacht in Video Shared by Daughter Drena for His 81st Birthday

Robert De Niro celebrated his 81st birthday with a less-than-graceful dive off of a yacht, as captured on video by his eldest daughter Drena De Niro .

“Happy 81st Bday to my Dad and #1 ride or die .. Love you with all my ♥️♥️♥️ #BobbyD forever ✨👑✨,” Drena, 56, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, August 17. Her post featured a photo of Robert in midair as he leaped off the side of a yacht in orange-and-blue striped swim trunks.

A subsequent video showed the Oscar winner diving off the boat, which was met with cheers from onlookers and Drena exclaiming off-camera, “He’s so crazy!” In the video, she called down to her dad to ask, “Are you alright?” He responded from the water, “Yeah, I’m okay!”

Drena was also heard asking someone “how many feet” the drop from the boat into the water was, to which someone replied “30.” Drena also shared photos of Robert holding her as a baby, as well as other photos throughout the years of the actor at the beach with his grandchildren.

Robert adopted Drena when she was five years old after he married her mother, Diahnne Abbott , in 1976. Diahnne and Robert went on to have a son, Raphael, 47, before they divorced in 1988.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Drena (@drenadeniro)

Robert shares twin sons Julian and Aaron, 28, with ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith ; son Elliot, 26, and 12-year-old daughter Helen Grace with ex-wife Grace Hightower ; and a 16-month-old daughter named Gia with his current girlfriend, Tiffany Chen .

“She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet,” De Niro said of Gia in a February 7 interview with People . “[When I] look at her, everything else goes away. So it’s a great joy and relief to just be with her in the moment.”

Last month, Drena paid tribute to her son on the first anniversary of his death, writing via Instagram, “Today we celebrated sweet wild boy Leo 🖤… In your short time here, you made the world a brighter place.” (She shared Leandro with artist Carlos Rodriguez .)

At the time of Leandro’s death, Robert released a statement to Us Weekly , saying, “I’m deeply distressed by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo. We’re greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone. We ask that we please be given privacy to grieve our loss of Leo.”

Dunya Yachts Relaunches Amels Superyacht Secret Love Following Refit

Turkish yacht yard Dunya Yachts has relaunched the 36 metre Amels superyacht Secret Love following an extensive winter refit.

Since arriving at the yard in late October, Secret Love has undergone a total overhaul, with work undertaken on the engines, generator, paintwork and decks.

Despite being well maintained and owned by the same owner for 10 years,  Secret Love  was “showing signs of age,” the yard said.

As a result, a number of upgrades were made to the engineering systems, as well as an overhaul of the engine room and a complete refresh to the paintwork.

The engine room was also repainted and the pumps, main engines and electric systems were serviced and upgraded. The teak decks have also been replaced and the exterior guest areas upgraded.

Following the launch, the yacht will undergo testing before it is redelivered in mid-June in time for the summer season.

Work was completed close to the initial schedule despite disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Sovren Yacht Management director Stephen Warren said: “Under very difficult conditions, the yard has managed to complete works and launch the yacht with only a minimum of delay.”

Dunya sales and marketing director Jeremy Roche added: “The shipyard has adopted changes to work patterns to comply with guidance relating to the current crisis. There have been challenges but we have remained open throughout.”

Though Robert dived head first, he ended up hitting the water on his back.

“He’s so crazy. Oh my God. Oh my God. Are you alright?” Drena, 56, asked her father once he resurfaced in the water.

The dad of seven replied, “I’m OK.”

Drena then told Robert he was “sick” and “crazy” for the epic leap.

The actress asked a yacht employee how many feet her father jumped from, to which they responded, “36 feet.”

Drena’s comments section was flooded with birthday wishes for the legendary actor.

“HBD to 1 of 1, New York’s finest.🏛️🥂,” wrote one user.

“Happy Birthday To The Best Actor In The World❤️,” added another.

“A Happy Birthday to the best actor of all Time, for his 81st Birthday. And many more. From a very big fan ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” said as third person.

“Happy birthday to the OG!!!!! May we all look this good at this age! Godless,” said a fourth fan.

In the Instagram carousel, Drena, whom Robert adopted during his marriage to Diahnne Abbott, shared a throwback photo of her late son, Leandro, and the “Irishman” star.

In July 2023, Drena announced that her son, whom she shared with graffiti artist Carlos Rodriguez, had died at age 19.

Leandro passed away from a “toxic” combination of illicit drugs , the New York City Medical Examiner told Page Six last August.

Following the news of his grandson’s death, Robert released a statement , saying he was “deeply distressed.”

Where Kamala Harris Stands on the Issues: Abortion, Immigration and More

She wants to protect the right to abortion nationally. Here’s what else to know about her positions.

• Share full article

By Maggie Astor

• Published July 21, 2024 Updated Aug. 19, 2024, 6:09 a.m. ET

Follow live updates on the 2024 election .

With Vice President Kamala Harris poised to replace President Biden on the Democratic ticket, her stances on key issues will be scrutinized by both parties and the nation’s voters.

She has a long record in politics: as district attorney of San Francisco, as attorney general of California, as a senator, as a presidential candidate and as vice president.

Here is an overview of where she stands.

Ms. Harris supports legislation that would protect the right to abortion nationally, as Roe v. Wade did before it was overturned in 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

After the Dobbs ruling, she became central to the Biden campaign’s efforts to keep the spotlight on abortion, given that Mr. Biden — with his personal discomfort with abortion and his support for restrictions earlier in his career — was a flawed messenger. In March, she made what was believed to be the first official visit to an abortion clinic by a president or vice president.

She consistently supported abortion rights during her time in the Senate, including cosponsoring legislation that would have banned common state-level restrictions, like requiring doctors to perform specific tests or have hospital admitting privileges in order to provide abortions.

As a presidential candidate in 2019, she argued that states with a history of restricting abortion rights in violation of Roe should be subject to what is known as pre-clearance for new abortion laws — those laws would have to be federally approved before they could take effect. That proposal is not viable now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe.

Climate change

Ms. Harris has supported the Biden administration’s climate efforts , including legislation that provided hundreds of billions of dollars in tax credits and rebates for renewable energy and electric vehicles.

“It is clear the clock is not just ticking, it is banging,” she said in a speech last year , referring to increasingly severe and frequent disasters spurred by climate change. “And that is why, one year ago, President Biden and I made the largest climate investment in America’s history.”

During her 2020 presidential campaign, she emphasized the need for environmental justice , a framework that calls for policies to address the adverse effects that climate change has on poor communities and people of color. She has emphasized that as vice president as well.

In 2019, Ms. Harris, then a senator, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York, introduced legislation that would have evaluated environmental rules and laws by how they affected low-income communities. It would have also established an independent Office of Climate and Environmental Justice Accountability and created a “senior adviser on climate justice” within several federal agencies. In 2020, Ms. Harris introduced a more sweeping version of the bill. None of the legislation was passed.

Ms. Harris was tasked with leading the Biden administration’s efforts to secure voting rights legislation, a job she asked for . The legislation — which went through several iterations but was ultimately blocked in the Senate — would have countered voting restrictions in Republican-led states, limited gerrymandering and regulated campaign finance more strictly.

This year, she met with voting rights advocates and described a strategy that included creating a task force on threats to election workers and challenging state voting restrictions in court.

She has condemned former President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. In a speech in 2022 marking the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, she said that day had showed “what our nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful.” She added, “What was at stake then, and now, is the right to have our future decided the way the Constitution prescribes it: by we the people, all the people.”

Economic policy

In campaign events this year, Ms. Harris has promoted the Biden administration’s economic policies, including the infrastructure bill that Mr. Biden signed, funding for small businesses, a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act that capped the cost of insulin for people on Medicare and student debt forgiveness.

She indicated at an event in May that the administration’s policies to combat climate change would also bring economic benefits by creating jobs in the renewable energy industry. At another event , she promoted more than $100 million in Energy Department grants for auto parts manufacturers to pivot to electric vehicles, which she said would “help to keep our auto supply chains here in America.”

As a senator, she introduced legislation that would have provided a tax credit of up to $6,000 for middle- and low-income families, a proposal she emphasized during her presidential campaign as a way to address income inequality.

Immigration

One of Ms. Harris’s mandates as vice president has been to address the root causes of migration from Latin America, like poverty and violence in migrants’ home countries. Last year, she announced $950 million in pledges from private companies to support Central American communities. Similar commitments made previously totaled about $3 billion.

In 2021, she visited the U.S.-Mexico border and said : “This issue cannot be reduced to a political issue. We’re talking about children, we’re talking about families, we are talking about suffering.”

More recently, she backed a bipartisan border security deal that Mr. Biden endorsed but Mr. Trump, by urging Republican lawmakers to kill it , effectively torpedoed. The legislation would have closed the border if crossings reached a set threshold, and it would have funded thousands of new border security agents and asylum officers. “We are very clear, and I think most Americans are clear, that we have a broken immigration system and we need to fix it,” Ms. Harris said in March .

Israel and Gaza

Ms. Harris called in March for an “immediate cease-fire” in Gaza and described the situation there as a “humanitarian catastrophe.” She said that “the threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated” but also that “too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.”

In an interview later that month , she emphasized her opposition to an Israeli invasion of Rafah, the city in southern Gaza to which more than a million people had fled. “I have studied the maps,” she said. “There’s nowhere for those folks to go, and we’re looking at about 1.5 million people in Rafah who are there because they were told to go there, most of them.”

She has said on multiple occasions that she supports a two-state solution.

Racial justice

Racial justice was a theme of Ms. Harris’s presidential campaign. In a memorable debate exchange in 2019 , she denounced Mr. Biden’s past work with segregationist senators and opposition to school busing mandates.

She has called for ending mandatory minimum sentences, cash bail and the death penalty, which disproportionately affect people of color.

Amid the protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, she was one of the senators who introduced the Justice in Policing Act, which would have made it easier to prosecute police officers, created a national registry of police misconduct and required officers to complete training on racial profiling. It was not passed.

Her record as a prosecutor also came into play during her presidential campaign. Critics noted that as attorney general of California, she had generally avoided stepping in to investigate police killings.
