About Western Flyer: Agua Verde

John Steinbeck had chartered the 77 foot Western Flyer in 1940 for his famous expedition to the Gulf of California.

Steinbeck, along his best friend, doctor and biologist Ed Ricketts, journeyed 4,000 miles to collect specimens and log their findings. The notes from this expedition culminated in their famous 1951 book, “The Log from the Sea of Cortez”.

Years later, my wife and I ventured on several expeditions into southern Baja to research the areas of Steinbeck’s famous log. One such expedition took us to Agua Verde cove, south of Loreto. This was the origin of this artwork.

The depiction illustrates the flurry of effects on marine life when lowering a light source close to the water. The Western Flyer is anchored in a rolling swell off the cove of Agua Verde. Solitaire Rock stands tall and the spiking “Gigante” mountain range fills the background.

Some time ago, I had become friends with Thom Steinbeck (John’s son) and his wife Gail while living in Silver Strand in Oxnard, California. The bond that developed between us motivated my artistic tributes for his father’s writings.

And now…

Western Flyer, having since suffered from the ravages of wear and time, is currently under significant restoration in Port Townsend, Washington. The Western Flyer Foundation is preparing her to fulfill future marine biologic studies.
