Last year we reported on sighting the Western Flyer, the boat John Steinbeck and his friend Ed Ricketts chartered in 1940 for their expedition to the Sea of Cortez
When we discovered the Western Flyer Foundation was offering tours as part of the Monterey Whale Fest, we snagged a ticket and went onboard to check it out. The Flyer looks almost as good as new...kudos to all who worked on the restoration!
