A curious sea-lion came out to look us over, a tawny, crusty old fellow with rakish mustaches and the scars of battle on his shoulders. --Steinbeck and Ricketts, Sea of Cortez (1941) 📸: Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club #WesternFlyer #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts @PenguinClassics

We stood on top of the deckhouse and watched the town of Pacific Grove slip by and the dark pine-covered hills roll back on themselves as though they moved, not we. -Sea of Cortez (1941) 📸: Sophie Darling #WesternFlyer #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts @PenguinClassics @HopkinsMarine
Our first problem was to charter a boat....The purse-seiners of Monterey were ideal for the purpose. -Sea of Cortez (1941) 📸: Sophie Darling #WesternFlyer #StirCuriosity #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts @PenguinClassics
Check out this great article by Jan Hein in @classicboatmagazine about the rebuild of the Western Flyer! ow.ly/Q5AS50QW1eh #WesternFlyer #ClassicBoatRestorationAward #stircuriosity #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts 📸 Jess Soriano
March 12, 1940. "Those quiet men who always stand on piers asked where we were going and when we said, 'To the Gulf of California,' their eyes melted with longing, they wanted to go so badly. " - Sea of Cortez, 1941 #WesternFlyer #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts #StirCuriosity
84 years ago today the #WesternFlyer set sail for the Gulf of California! Learn more about the illustrious career of this famed fishing boat in this short film narrated by @Nick_Offerman. #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts #StirCuriosity westernflyer.org/nick-offerman-…
There is an “idea” boat that is an emotion, and because the emotion is so strong it is probable that no other tool is made with so much honesty as a boat. Bad boats are built, surely, but not many of them. -Sea of Cortez (1941) #WesternFlyer 📸: Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club
Man, building this greatest and most personal of all tools, has in turn received a boat-shaped mind, and the boat, a man-shaped soul. -- Steinbeck and Ricketts, Sea of Cortez (1941) 📸: Pat Webster #WesternFlyer #JohnSteinbek #EdRicketts #StirCuriosity #WoodenBoat #Monterey
Man receiving back from Boat a warping of his psyche so that the sight of a boat riding in the water clenches a fist of emotion in his chest. -- Steinbeck and Ricketts, Sea of Cortez (1941) 📸: Sophie Darling #WesternFlyer #StirCuriosity #JohnSteinbeck #EdRicketts
He won an Emmy, he was our favorite character on Parks & Rec, and he flew on the back of a dragon in a Super Bowl commercial. But can @Nick_Offerman tell the true story of the Western Flyer? Find out on John Steinbeck’s 122nd birthday, February 27th. #WesternFlyer #StirCuriosity
