- Western Flyer: The Next Chapter: Connections tells the story of the boat that carried John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts to the Sea of Cortez in 1940 on a voyage of discovery and how she will help a new generation explore their connections to nature and the world beyond their personal horizons.

Thanks for bringing me here Leo. Tally Ho. Sampson Boat Co.
Good to see THE BOATA & The EXPLORERS, and the SCIENCE / research havn't been forgotten about. In such a short film, so much INFO. Included! A truly great insight. Fully enjoyed it. Love how there's genuine accounts from different 'experts on the history, and that it (boat ) is 'being explored' (instead of exploring) as a learning focus for kids....and this short doco is dedicated to Jr. Ricketts.
Have watched all the videos and thank you for taking us along on this journey I can imagine working on the restoration from afar and enjoy the journey along with so many others. Keep up the good work
Thank you for all of this: the vision (above all), the dedication, the commitment of time and money, and the phenomenal skill of wooden boat builders in this 21st century. Each step is a transformative accomplishment. Thank you for taking us along with you in these videos.
I wanted to say something along those lines but being the lazy bum that I am, I'll second yours, instead! Hear-hear! :)
Thank you for this amazing story. I had no idea that this was going on. I came by this because I got the book Log from the Sea of Cortez and now reading it. One thing led to another. Thank you. Looking forward to actually seeing the boat in Monterey.
She looks fantastic again now.
The Sea of Cortez is a place of beauty. I want to go back.
Great video. Thanks!
Wow this is a awesome project 👍👍
What an awesome story! Thanks for saving the Western Flyer and putting it to good use. :-)
Thanks for watching. Any relationship to ED Ricketts?
@@WesternFlyerFoundationChannel Not that I know of though I suppose it is possible. Thanks again for sharing your great project! :-)
What a fantastic project! If I may ask, the interiors displayed starting a 9:00 are not actual depictions of what WF will look like inside when it's finished, correct? The depictions appear to be much larger than the WF.
When you just story on the background on windship. And would cause the sinking weather-related equipment wise. And was there any Personnel lost when the ship sank the three or four times it did that would be a good story to hear about indep more info. Thank you I have watched this from start to present and I am thoroughly enjoyed the build must have more input thank you God bless
what became of the skiffs and the Hansen Sea-Cow?
Wonderful project and talented team mates. Would be interested in your power options and renewables. Contemporary and progressive. None theological thinking is a wonderful mental state of play. Just like being out at sea, free to explore in every direction. Smart.
All very good points indeed. Ship Ahoy.... and as we know, some science and theological conclusion, is very questionable to say the least!
I am very interested in this project. Very fascinating. one question what engine did it have originally?
Thanks for your interest, and thanks for your comment. The Western Flyer was originally built with a 6 cylinder 160 HP Atlas. Chris
Was groundbreaking for sure but was an inheritor on the conservation movement begun 60 years before (or more). Also, a legacy of the voyages of Cook and Darwin when you think about it centuries before (which were also much more impactful for natural science and biology.)
This has become compelling to follow. What a history! Do you apply for and get financial help from lottery funding schemes as we do in the UK? The wood alone must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! Great stuff! Take care and stay safe.
Unanswered? Dang, cause it us a goid question
this boat sank at the dock it was refloated but i thought they scraped it i geuss they saved her before they ripped her apart
Its been my life long observation that the decline ,destruction & eventual breakdown of classic this & that, be it of eco- systems the seas state of health, even choice marine craft, airplanes & automobiles, has been the directly effected by the physical, mental, and internal collapse of the human condition. When we keep plugging away at giving our all & all towards being healthy individuals, build our cities with care, treat ourselves & neighbors with dignity, everything around us has a ripe opportunity to follow our path. Boats, homes, classic cars, forests, bodies of fresh & salty waters & all the life in between get better attention.
If only there was as much time and enthusiasm shown by all these boat owners and associates, in collecting and ridding our seas of the millions of tons of plastic none degradable waste that we are all guilty of creating ,the world would be a far better place .Never mind old wooden boats.

I am involved in supporting plastic recycling and gyre-reclamation..among so many supporting this project. We are wingmen in formation you fool. Slog along in your clogs you arrogant ignoramus as you hitchhike down the highway to your oblivion. The solution lies w us. Not in your simpering and whimpering.
Pungawally
FYI: 40 years ago I thought I’d drive my motorcycle head on into the grill of a semi, but before I did I said to God, “if you are real; I can’t stop the sin in my life”. Next thing I knew a presence flowed over and through me. Several days later I discovered that all my allergies were GONE (wheat, dust orange blossom, smoke and mold to name a few). If I even ate a crumb of wheat, I would get hives the size of baseball’s all over my body. Now, I have NO allergies; NO MORE shots, and can eat all the donuts I want, PTL.
Bullshit.
It's an old fishing boat, just one of many, just because Steinbeck spent time on it only makes it special in the minds of overly sentimental fools.
GhettoRanger written by an even bigger fool. Ignorance personified indeed!
@@KILAPH24471 Maybe you can explain why this old piece of shit boat, that was allowed to sink, not once but twice, that has to have every timber replaced to the extent that none or very little of the original boat remain, and for what?
@@KILAPH24471 Great answer, a foolish liberal uses name calling because you don't have the wherewithal to defend your position. Just an emotional child.
Ghetto Ranger you don't get it. You're 'tone deaf' so why try. Go back to oblivion
@@KILAPH24471 Great explanation, typical liberal response, since the one consistent thing about your kind is that you operate on emotion, not logic, so when asked to explain your position you start with the insults and name calling, and when that happens I declare victory. Cha chaaaa
It's a boat people but you've turned it into an object and idolize it. That's sad you don't worship God but a boat. This what man does with just about anything these days.
jimmy tiler the entire story is within Gods Creation. That's clearly embossed on the pictorial. I'm sorry you've lost your vision. Tragedies such as yours deserve our compassion and attention. Good Speed.
@@KILAPH24471 lolo
What a lost person you are
@@timfriesen6744 look in the mirror I will pray for you.
