One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

Orcas relentlessly battered a yacht in a “terrifying” two-hour attack Wednesday that didn’t end until the $128,680 vessel sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were just 22 hours into their 10-day trip from Vilamoura, Portugal, to Greece when the pod set its sights on the £100,000 — or $128,680 — sailing boat.

“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” Powell, who was meant to be celebrating his birthday aboard the boat,...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Early on in my offshore sailing career, I discovered something that has been driven home repeatedly in the ensuing years: At sea, many miles and days from the solid comforts of terra firma, a person’s true character is revealed. It’s not always pretty. On a small boat of defined length, the opportunity to take even a short walk to push the reset button is unavailable. It’s definitely rare, but I’ve certainly encountered my fair share of stifling bores, outright slobs and dangerous clowns. (No doubt, of course, that some of them would say the same of me.)

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

Heather Strout Thompson has been hauling lobster since traps were wooden. Here are her top lobster rolls in her home state of Maine, from Chipman's Wharf to Luke's Lobster. H — Hundreds of years ago, lobsters washed up in droves along what's now Maine's rocky coast, so plentiful and cheap it was fed to prisoners. Today, tourists from all over come to the US's north-easternmost state for the meatiest, sweetest lobster in the world, thanks to its freezing cold waters. And the best lobsters naturally make the best lobster rolls.

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...
