Duffy 35′

Not only is   The Duffy 35   the most popular boat in our line it is one of the most popular lobster boats of all time with over 370 hulls built since 1982. The Duffy 35 is a built down hull with a fine forefoot and flat after sections producing good speed and the excellent ride that Duffy’s are famous for. Over the years the Duffy 35 has proven itself to be a safe and stable boat in all but the most severe sea conditions.

We celebrated the 350th Duffy 35 in 2002 by building a new hull mold for the 35. New for 2003 are two new deck molds. One work boat deck mold (steering bulkhead at 21’6″) and a cruiser deck (steering bulkhead at 19’6″). Separate roofs are available for both deck molds. There is standing head room down forward with both the cruiser and work boat deck.

In addition to the hundreds of commercial lobster boats built on this hull the Duffy 35 has been hugely popular with commercial tuna fishermen and sport fishermen. She is a good moderately sized boat, large enough to range offshore in spring, summer, and fall conditions the 100+ miles that tuna fishing requires and small enough to do so with speed and fuel efficiency. Her reputation of excellent seaworthiness has been earned through hard work on the water over a twenty year period.

Duffy 35’s have been built with as little as 200hp and as much as 700hp but most 35’s today are being built with 225 to 500hp resulting in speeds, depending on weight, from 18 to 30+ knots. In work boat configuration an engine box is required.

As a cruiser the Duffy 35 can accommodate a number of layouts including galley up or down with either a straight or L counter. The head can be a head/shower combo or head w/separate shower. The main cabin length can be varied to accommodate different salon and cockpit layouts. Quite a number of successful Flybridge cruisers have been built as well.

Content by Red Lobster

“We are very particular about who we work with because we're particular about the seafood we serve in our restaurants. The hard work and achievement of eco-certification is very exciting and presents a great opportunity to further engage and drive positive change across all rock lobster fisheries.”

— Skip Frisz

Red Lobster is also supporting WWF in its efforts to engage and transition rock lobster fisheries through FIPs in other countries including Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize, and Brazil.

“Fishing is everything to me. It's a part of our heritage.”

— Thomas Pinder

“I feel very humbled and proud to know that people sitting down at Red Lobster are eating quality food because of the way we fish,” Thomas says. “I recommend to anyone to have a rock lobster, caught from a hardworking person in Spanish Wells.”

Fishing for the Future

Inside the collective effort to bring sustainable lobster fishing to The Bahamas

Hundreds of years ago, Spanish Wells located in The Bahamas, was known as an oceanic crossroad for ships traveling between the Western Hemisphere and Europe. Its name comes from the freshwater wells that supplied water to ships on their way back to Spain. Today, the colorful and quiet mile-long island of Spanish Wells has become the largest lobster-fishing port in The Bahamas, surrounded by stunning coral reefs and clear water that draw not only divers and snorkelers to the area, but also provide prime habitat for rock lobster, also known as spiny lobster. In fact, Bahamian lobster is a $90 million industry that employs about 9,000 fishermen (mostly family businesses from the area) selling 6 million pounds of rock lobster tails annually—primarily to the United States.

Like the Maine lobster industry, those in the rock lobster business know that conservation is vital to the sustainability of the species and the long-term economic prosperity of The Bahamas. In 2018, the Bahamian rock lobster fishery earned an eco-certification from a leading global environmental standard thanks to support from fishermen, the Bahamian government, lobster exporters, companies like Red Lobster, and organizations including The Nature Conservancy and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) through a Fishery Improvement Project (or FIP). Companies like Red Lobster support FIPs by buying from the fishery, providing direct financial support, encouraging suppliers and fishermen to participate in the project, and engaging local government agencies to improve policy and enforcement. Working together, conservation groups and the seafood industry can be a powerful force for improving the sustainability of seafood and the health of ocean ecosystems.

A FIP is a step-by-step approach to address environmental challenges and improve the management of a fishery in order to meet a measurable goal, which in the case of The Bahamas was eco-certification. Over the course of eight years, the Bahamian lobster fishery has worked to meet the high standards set by the eco-certification body. And today, Spanish Wells is a model of sustainability. Some of the accomplishments under the Bahamian rock lobster FIP include:

• A peer-reviewed stock assessment and data collection and management system to monitor the health of the lobster stock
• A public forum for stakeholders to participate in the management of the lobster fishery
• A zero-tolerance policy for harvesting undersized lobster for The Bahamas Marine Exporters Association
• Monitoring of and enforcement against illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing
• A lobster harvest strategy, a fishery management plan, and procedures to review the performance of the lobster fishery management

This work has set the standards by which all the fishermen in The Bahamas fish for rock lobster, including always checking the size of the lobsters to make sure they're big enough and leaving the egg carrying females so the population can reproduce and remain abundant.

Responsible fishing practices have been a priority for Red Lobster since the restaurant company was founded more than 50 years ago. Today, Red Lobster's supply chain team, including Skip Frisz, Director of Procurement, spend time establishing face-to-face relationships with seafood suppliers to make sure they're following the rules and upholding Red Lobster's standards.

One of the ways Red Lobster is supporting improvements in the sustainability of rock lobster fisheries is by partnering with WWF. WWF works globally with the seafood industry, governments, fishing communities, academia, and NGOs to transition fisheries towards sustainability and help them adopt practices set by FIPs.

Wendy Goyert is the Lead Specialist for fisheries in transition for WWF in the U.S.; her job is to support fisheries in FIPs and to ensure they are taking the steps needed to improve their sustainability. In the case of The Bahamas lobster fishery, this includes making sure the lobster population remains healthy and the fishery follows the rules.

Out on the open waters, many of the Spanish Wells fishermen also support the sustainability efforts by upholding FIP standards and checking the catch when it comes in off the boats. By not over-harvesting and throwing back egg-bearing females and undersized lobsters, they are not only maintaining the rock lobster population, but the economic livelihood of the Bahamian fishermen. The fishermen are big proponents of maintaining high standards in rock lobster fishing because they know it also ensures the livelihood for future generations of fishermen as well. For example, Thomas Pinder, 30, is an eighth-generation fisherman who is part of a family that has fished these waters; his father, Chuck, taught him the family business, and Chuck's brother-in-law, Gill, is the owner of the export company Ronald's Seafood. Gill has been supplying Red Lobster with rock lobster from The Bahamas for over 30 years.

“We've been able to sustain the fishing industry here and grow it tremendously,” Gill says. “And Red Lobster has been a big part of that because we have sustained the quality that Red Lobster needs.”

And fishing for the Pinders is more than just a job.

According to the Pinders, there are more rock lobsters in Spanish Wells today than there were 30 years ago. Red Lobster, WWF, the Pinders and many others that touch the region remain committed to upholding a heritage of sustainable fishing for many generations to come. With pride in his business and product, Thomas is paying that forward with his crew, whom he calls the “young generation of Spanish Wells.”

Woodville man facing charges of continuous sexual assault of a child

WOODVILLE, Texas (KTRE) - A Woodville man is in the Tyler County Jail facing charges of continuous sexual assault of a child under 14 years of age.

Kevin Lee Powell, 60, was arrested on May 15 after deputies received a report of alleged sexual abuse of a child. Deputies coordinated forensic interviews and gathered evidence that they say implicated Powell in multiple occasions of sexual abuse of a child.

Deputies got an arrest warrant, found Powell at his home, and took him into custody. They served a search warrant on the home and they say they recovered multiple items of evidence in the investigation.

Powell was then taken to the Tyler County Jail where he was charged with continuous sexual assault of a child under 14. JP Tina Self set his bond at $750,000. He remains in the Tyler County Jail.

Sheriff Bryan Weatherford said that Powell could face additional charges as this investigation continues.

STAVROPOL KRAI: COSSACKS, MEDICINAL BATHS AND DUELS

Stavropol krai.

Stavropol Krai covers 66,500 square kilometers (25,700 square miles), is home to about 2.7 million people and has a population density of 42 people per square kilometer. About 57 percent of the population live in urban areas. The city of Stavropol is the capital and largest city, with about 400,000 people.Most state-like entities in Russia are oblasts (regions). A krai was a type of geographical administrative division in the Russian Empire and modern hin the U.S.S.R. and is one of the types of the federal subjects of modern Russia. Website: Tourist Information Center of the Stavropol Territory: stavtourism.ru

Stavropol Krai embraces parts of the Kuban River and Kuban steppe and is traditional homeland of the Kuban Cossacks The Caucasus mineral waters resorts of Pyatigorsk, Zheleznovodsk, Yessentuki, and Kislovodsk have been famous since ancient times. Their thermal waters, therapeutic springs and mud have rejuvenated millions of people. Among the first Russians to be treated with these waters were soldiers of the Caucasus line. The first Caucasus mineral sanatorium was built in 1803.

Stavropol Krai has more to offer than Cossacks and health resorts. Archeologists have discovered 20 settlements and towns here, some of which are more than three thousand years old. The traditional life in Stavropol is associated with vine growing and wine making. On the slopes of the Mashuk hill is a modest monument commemorating the duel fought by the writer Mikhail Lermontov.

Stavropol is a land of mountains, ancient fortresses, the first Russian resorts and Cossack villages spread out at the bottom of the former Sarmatian sea. The first Cossacks — Terek and Kuban — settled in the Stavropol region in the second half of the 18th century without the approval of state authorities, as was the way of the Cossacks.

Stavropol means “cross”. The name is explained in different ways. According to one story, a cruciform stone was dug up during the construction of the fortress that would bear the Stavropol name. According to another story, the fortress was marked on a map with a cross to distinguish it from other forts on the Azov-Mozdok line. In any case, an image of the cross is now on Stavropol’s flag and coat of arms.

See Separate Articles: COSSACKS factsanddetails.com ; COSSACK HISTORY factsanddetails.com

Tourism in Stavropol

Accommodation: here are 122 sanatoriums and more than 400 hotels of various levels in Stavropol. A sanatorium course in Yessentuki costs 1672 rubles per day. A single “standard” room at the Hotel “Intourist-Stavropol” goes for 2600 rubles a night. Apartments in Stavropol cost 2000-2300 rubles per day.

Transport in the Region: Buses are the main way of getting around Stavropol krai. To get by bus from Stavropol to Pyatigorsk costs 1100 rubles, to Yessentuki-1350 rubles, to Kislovodsk-1300 rubles (all prices are for one adult round-trip).

Getting There: By Air: : Mineralnye Vody international airport is the main airport in the region. Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport is located 13 kilometers northeast of Stavropol. If you are heading to the resort, it is preferable to use Mineralnye Vody airport, Many of the of resort the towns are only 30-40 minutes away by car. Flights from Moscow to Mineralnye Vody takes a little more than two hours and tickets start at 4,000 to 7,000 rubles (per adult round-trip).

By Train: Rail links connect some of the resort towns of the Caucasus with destinations in Russia and the former Soviet Union. From Moscow the travel time is about 22 hours The cost of a seat or a berth in a compartment starts at around 5,000s rubles for an adult.

By Car: Motorists have praised the roads of Stavropol are for being smooth, and durable. There are reasonable good links to neighboring regions of the North Caucasus and southern Federal districts.

Kuban Steppe

Kuban Steppe refers to a large are of cultivated steppe in southeastern Russia situated roughly between the Caucasus mountains, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Volga and Don Rivers. It is a rich agricultural area and the traditional home of the Kuban Cossack group. Many people died here during the forced collectivization in the 1920s and 1930s.

The Kuban steppe is one of the major steppes in Europe, located in between the city of Rostov on Don and the Caucasus Mountains. It is named after Kuban River which flows through it. The Kuban flows mostly through Krasnodar Krai for 660 kilometers (410 miles) but also in the Karachay–Cherkess Republic, Stavropol Krai and the Republic of Adygea. The Kuban flows 870 kilometers (540 mi) north and west from its source near Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus Mountains, eventually reaching Temryuk Bay in the Sea of Azov.

The Kuabn Steppe is part of the Great Eurasian steppe that stretches from Mongolia and the Great Wall of China in the east to Hungary and the Danube River in the west. It is bounded by the taiga forest of Russia to the north and by desert and mountains to the south. It is located at about same latitude as the American plains and embraces a dozen countries, including Russia, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrzgzstan and several other former Soviet Republics.

Describing the steppes, Polish Nobel laureate Henry Sienkiewicz wrote in With Fire and Sword, "The steppes are wholly desolate and unpeopled yet filled living menace. Silent and still yet seething with hidden violence, peaceful in their immensity yet infinitely dangerous, these boundless spaces were a masterless, untamed country created foe ruthless men who acknowledge no one as their overlord." Steppes are covered mostly by sparse grass or grasses and shrubs such as saxual. Trees are often stunted. Large trunks, branches and leaves require a lot of water to maintain. When the steppes meet the foot foothills, you can find wild poppies, even wild opium poppies.

Stavropol City

Stavropol (430 kilometers southeast of Rostov-on-Don) is a city of 300,000 with historic ruins from the 10th and 11th century as well as a magnificent forest preserve and botanical gardens. Located on a broad plateau, it was used as military supply depot for the Russian military campaigns in Caucasus and is the traditional home of the Kurban Cossacks.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was born in a village of Privolnoe, about 150 kilometers (90 miles) from Stavropol was educated and rose through the Communist party ranks in Stavropol. Sights include the 19th-century St. Andrew's Cathedral and the Regional Museums, with Cossack uniforms, weapons and memorabilia, and an art museum.

Stavropol began as small fortress on the Azov-Mazdokskoy defensive line built in 1777 on the orders of Catherine the Great the Great to protect the southern borders from attacks of Tatars and Turks and become one of the major political centers of the North Caucasus. Among its early residents were Khoperskaya Cossacks, builders of the fortress’s stone cross.

Stavropol is located on the 45 degree latitude line and is thus equal distance from the North Pole and the Equator. It is said if you make a wish on a clear moonlit night at "Pirogov" and "45 parallel" street your wish will come true. Stavropol is said to be one of the greenest cities in Russia. One of the first thing that strikes visitors is an incredible amount of greenery and flowers found throughout the city.
