OLD PLANK ADVENTURES

Old Plank is a boutique luxury sailing charter & aquatic expedition company with gourmet 5 star cuisine. Founded by Captain and Chef Matthew Mancini and supported by a crew of lifelong watermen, we live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.

We share a deep passion for quality food and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the profound peace that comes from an alignment with the rhythms of the ocean. We’ve been fortunate enough to have been immersed in the ocean and gourmet foods and derive great joy from sharing these experiences.

What Do We Do?

We take our guests out into a safe sailing environment on the Santa Monica Bay or beyond, where they have the opportunity to experience first-hand the joy of sailing, the rhythm of the ocean and unique pairings of gourmet foods and wines in the sweet briny sea air.

We catch sunrises, bake in the mid-day sunshine and relax as the sunsets and the moon rises under starry skies. We play with seals, dolphins, and whales and when appropriate catch fresh seafood to enjoy al-fresco. We are living the Mediterranean dream in Southern California and sharing the experience with valued guests who leave the experience as family.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring the Mediterranean lifestyle to Southern California’s ideal year round climate. We aspire to help our guest to truly relax and experience the self-healing that can occur when we slow down enough to catch up with our own selves.

Old Plank Sailing Adventures is dedicated to the pursuit of genuine happiness. Curating a safe, healing environment where guests feel comfortable, appreciated and connected with nature. The oceans can help to facilitate a deep state of relaxation for the healing of emotional wounds, so you can rejuvenate while enjoying creative foods in a soothing sailing environment.

We are purest at heart. Classic monohull sailing aboard a vintage sailing yacht is an incomparable experience. Sail aboard a luxurious modified Islander 36 redesigned and refitted by Captain Mancini. We're also big fans of the adage, "use the right tool for the job", and when it come to speed at sea, nothing beats our 2018-20021 SEADOOs. So whatever your pleasure, we're got the toys to accommodate your interest. Our Primary Sailing yacht is PRIMA STELLA. A modernized vintage luxury sailing monohull, manufactured by Island Yachts in Costa Mesa in 1976. The Hull was designed by sailing legend Alan Gurney and redesigned in 2021 by Captain Mancini with exterior synthetic teak imported from Norway, an updated galley with glass teak bright works, modernized helm, state of the art underwater and exterior smart lighting displays, and modernized rigging designs. Prima Stella is a classic Islander 36 cruising / racing vessel at heart, capable for Bluewater sailing and built and rigged to circumnavigate around the world. With the displacement at 1500 gross tonnage, Prima Stella delivers stability in the sea with its fin keel and skeg rudder, while traveling up to a respectable 8 knots for its heavy displacement. The Islander 36 was an award winning design for its class and continues to be a choice of many avid cruising sailors. When you sail aboard Prima Stella you will surely enjoy and understand the luxury and classy feeling while under sail.

Boat Tours – Los Angeles

Experience Boat Tours in Los Angeles

Best things to do in Tinseltown : Apart from enjoying the offshore entertainment of a sightseeing cruise, LA has some superb attractions to visit. There’s Disneyland Park and Universal Studios Hollywood for the theme park fanatics. Santa Monica Pier for rides and restaurants, the Hollywood Sign and of course Griffith Observatory for the planetarium and city views. Plenty to add to your boat trip.

When to visit : The best time to tour and explore LA is in the shoulder months March to May and September to November. The crowds are lighter, and the air is more comfortable.

Gourmet delights under the moonlight : What a way to spice up your trip than taking a magical moonlight cruise. It’s the tour to enchant a loved one, with food, romance, dancing and spectacular views. From the glow of the moon on the calm waters to the gourmet dinner. It’ll be a LA highlight.

• The famous Hollywood sign is an iconic landmark, and you’ll no doubt visit it if time allows. Back in the day, you would have seen it look very different. When it was originally built it read Hollywoodland. The land part was taken down in 1949

• There’s plenty to discover above ground, think of this when you are walking the LA streets. There are, it’s believed, 11 miles of tunnels running under the city. One tunnel was originally used to transport prisoners from the jail to a county courthouse. No longer, they are now repurposed by LA’s metro system.

• Another good reason for taking a boat tour in LA is to get away from the traffic on the roads! It’s estimated that drivers in the city spend an average of 119 hours in traffic. That’s 5 whole days! So get that boat tour and you’ll have no queues to deal with!

Los angeles dodgers at toronto blue jays odds, picks and predictions, share this article.

The  Los Angeles  Dodgers (18-11) and  Toronto Blue Jays (13-15) conclude their 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Rogers Centre is slated for 1:37 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s  lines around the  Dodgers vs. Blue Jays odds  and make our expert  MLB picks and predictions  for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

Los Angeles won their 6th straight game on Saturday afternoon, 4-2 over the Toronto Blue Jays. The top of the Dodgers lineup —  2B Mookie Betts , DH Shohei Ohtani , and 1B Freddie Freeman — each had an RBI in the victory. RHP Tyler Glasnow struck out 9 over 6 innings of 1 run ball, improving to 5-1. Los Angeles has not allowed more than 2 runs during the win streak.

The Blue Jays have lost 5 in a row, 3 of which were 1-run games, and Toronto has only scored 1.8 runs per game in the losing streak. LHP Yusei Kikuchi allowed 4 ER in 6 IP against the Dodgers while LF Davis Schneider had an RBI double and a run scored.

Dodgers at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Michael Grove vs. RHP  Kevin Gausman

Grove (0-0, 6.00 ERA) makes his 1st start of the season. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 in 15 IP over 9 games.

• Last appearance: 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K in 4-1 win at the Washington Nationals Tuesday
• 2024 road stats: 0-0, 4.26 ERA (6 1/3 IP, 3 ER) in 3 relief appearances

• Over/Under (O/U) : 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Dodgers at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Dodgers 6, Blue Jays 3

Moneyline .

BET DODGERS (+105) .

This game is hard to handicap with the Dodgers (+105) using an opener, but I’m a firm believer in momentum. And all of the momentum is going the Dodgers way as they look to complete back-to-back series sweeps. Los Angeles is very familiar with Gausman from his 2 seasons in San Francisco. The Dodgers are averaging 7 runs per game during the 6-game win streak.

Run line/Against the spread

I’m going to save my unit bet for the moneyline in this game. I dislike when teams decide to go with the opener as it completely throws handicapping out of whack.

I just don’t see an edge to recommend a bet here. The Dodgers are 5-5 against the Over in their last 10. These 2 teams have gone 2-2-1 against the Over in their last 5 matchups.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs files motion to dismiss some claims in a sexual assault lawsuit

The Associated Press

April 27, 2024, 5:02 PM

• Share This:

• share on email

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs pushed back against a woman’s lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault, filing a motion on Friday to dismiss some claims that were not under law when the alleged incident occurred.

The motion filed in a New York court claims Combs cannot be sued because certain laws didn’t exist when Joi Dickerson-Neal made the allegations against him in 1991.

The music mogul’s lawyers want certain statutes from Dickerson-Neal’s claims such as revenge porn and human trafficking to be dismissed with prejudice.

In a filing last year, she said Combs “intentionally drugged” her, then brought her home and sexually assaulted her after a date in Harlem when she was a 19-year-old college student.

Without her knowledge, Combs videotaped the assault and later shared it with several friends in the music industry, the lawsuit alleges. He denied the allegations, accusing her of seeking to exploit the New York law that temporarily extended the statute of limitations.

While Friday’s motion seeks to dismiss the case on legal grounds, Diddy’s attorneys and the mogul “vehemently deny” what they called “numerous false, offensive, and salacious accusations” in the lawsuit.

Dickerson-Neal’s claim came nearly three decades after his alleged misconduct, and the New York State Revenge Porn Law was not codified until 2019, Combs’ lawyers said. His attorneys also pointed out a few others including the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law, which came into effect in 2007.

The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Dickerson-Neal has done.

Last month, Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal authorities in a sex trafficking investigation . The criminal investigation is a major escalation in the scrutiny of Combs, who has been the defendant in several recent sexual abuse lawsuits .

In a lawsuit Combs settled the day after it was filed in November, his former protege and girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie , sued him alleging years of sexual abuse, including rape. The lawsuit said he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed them.

In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Combs coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.

Another of Combs’ accusers was a woman who said he raped her two decades ago when she was 17.

Combs and his attorneys have denied all of the allegations in the lawsuits.

This story corrects the spelling of Joi Dickerson-Neal’s surname.

Universal Studios tram tossed “multiple” riders to the ground, accident investigators say

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

A tram vehicle at Universal Studios Hollywood threw “multiple” riders to the ground after it struck a guardrail near props from the “Jurassic Park” film franchise in an accident that is under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

Details of the accident that took place Saturday night — amid the 60th anniversary of the attraction — remain sketchy, but the CHP said the agency has determined that drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash that injured 15 park visitors.

For the record:

3:01 p.m. April 22, 2024 An earlier version of this article said 15 riders on the Universal Studios Hollywood tram attraction were thrown to the ground. The California Highway Patrol said “multiple” riders were thrown to the ground and that a total of 15 were injured.

The tram was driving through the storied Universal Studios back lot shortly after 9 p.m. when the crash occurred, according to authorities.

The linked tram cars passed by a set of props from the “Jurassic Park” film franchise when the tram driver turned onto Avenue M and for some unknown reason the last car in the procession collided with the metal guardrail on the right side, the CHP said. This caused the tram to “tilt and eject multiple passengers from the tram,” authorities said in a news release.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department received a call for service shortly after 9 p.m. for the crash and 15 passengers were transported to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene but the CHP is the lead agency, a Universal Studios spokesperson said.

At least 14 hurt as MTA bus is part of four-vehicle ‘rollover collision’ in South L.A.

Firefighters and paramedics were on the scene and had assessed and treated 14 people, including bus riders and other vehicle passengers.

March 28, 2024

“Our thoughts continue to be with the guests who were involved, and we are thankful that based on agency reports, the injuries sustained were minor,” Universal Studios said in a statement.

The theme park is working closely with authorities as Universal Studios continues its “review of the incident and safety remains a top priority.”

The Studio Tour tram ride, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this week, will continue to operate with a modified route and the theme park will reinforce its “operational and safety protocols.”

The status of the injured passengers was unclear as of Monday.

In many ways, the tram ride came to define the theme park.

Over the years, countless riders have enjoyed close encounters with a robotic shark depicting the blood-thirsty animal in the movie “Jaws,” a terrifying stop outside the Bates Motel from the film classic “Psycho” and a harrowing escape from the clutches of King Kong.

Newer film franchises have joined the tour, including a stroll through a suburban neighborhood wasted by aliens from the 2005 film “War of the Worlds” to a western-themed sideshow from Jordan Peele’s 2022 movie “Nope.”

The tram tour got its start in 1964 when Universal Studios executives noticed that food sales at the studio commissary shot up after local tour buses were allowed past the studio gates to let fans get a glimpse of the back lot movie sets and props.

The first iteration of the attraction were the pink-and-white Glamour Trams, which carried about 38,200 riders in the first year. Passengers paid $2.50 for a two-and-a-half hour tour that included stops to see a stunt show and a movie makeup exhibition.

How the Universal Studios tram tour defined the modern theme park

The most important theme park ride ever created? It may just be the Universal Studios tram tour, which dates to the silent film era. Once primarily a behind-the-scenes tour, the trek has evolved to define the modern theme park.

Later renamed the Universal Studios Studio Tour, the trams have since endured real life fires, labor strife, a series of expansions and at least one fatal accident.

The theme park launched a renovation project in 2022 to begin converting the diesel-hydraulic powered vehicles to run on electricity to reduce emissions. It is not clear if the tram that struck the guard rail was a newer electric vehicle or an older version.

This is not the first time an accident happened at the theme park. In 1986, a park employee was run over by the tram during a special Halloween “Fright Nights” show . Paul Rebalde, 20, was stationed on a parked tram filled with mannequins dressed to look like corpses, the Sheriff’s Department said at the time.

While in costume, Rebalde was to leap from among the mannequins on the parked tram and frighten people passing on moving trams, but was trapped between the third and fourth sections of one of the four-section moving trams and was run over and dragged to his death, according to authorities. The Halloween-themed attraction was paused for several years and later rebranded “Halloween Horror Nights.”

More recently, a stunt performer was hospitalized after performing in the “Waterworld” show in January 2023 . The performer was set on fire shortly before taking a leap off a tower in the show’s finale. The “Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular” show is inspired by the 1995 Kevin Costner film and opened months after the movie’s debut.
