On April 25, the Western Flyer departed Moss Landing for its Pacific Northwest expedition—a nearly two-month journey that will take the vessel and crew north along the coast, with a return planned for mid-June.
Along the way, the Flyer will serve as both a working research vessel and floating classroom, hosting student programs, community events, and collaborative science in ports throughout Oregon and Washington.
To capture the journey as it unfolds, we’re continuing a tradition we began during our 85th Anniversary return to the Gulf of California: a Crew’s Log.
Part journal, part photo stream, and part collection of stories from life aboard, the log brings together real-time updates from the crew—messages from the galley, the deck, and the ports along the way—along with additional context to help tell the full story of the voyage.
