🌊 On this day in 2018, a devastating tsunami hit Palu, Indonesia, reminding us that these "harbor waves" remain one of nature's most powerful forces. The sea's memory is long, and its lessons vital for coastal communities worldwide.

In 1940, Steinbeck & Ricketts set sail on a beer-stocked voyage aboard the Western Flyer. Their Log from the Sea of Cortez inspired generations of ocean lovers. Now, 85 years later, the Flyer sails again, reborn as a research vessel & floating classroom. #WesternFlyer #OceanHistory

So when Steinbeck needed escape, and Ricketts sought specimens (and maybe proof his philosophy held water) they set sail on the Western Flyer. Two arcs, one battered by fame, the other buoyed by tidepools, converging in the Sea of Cortez. #SeaOfCortez #OceanHistory #WesternFlyer

Who was Ed Ricketts, the man who sailed with Steinbeck in 1940 aboard the Western Flyer? A marine biologist, philosopher, and Monterey eccentric, whose lab on Cannery Row became a hub for science, art, and wild late-night debates. #EdRicketts #CanneryRow #OceanHistory #WesternFlyer

This shift rippled through his later works. Cannery Row imagined communities as “superorganisms.” The Pearl turned a tale he heard in Mexico into a parable of environment and fate. Ricketts’ tidepool philosophy echoed everywhere. #OceanHistory #Ecology #Steinbeck

The voyage birthed Sea of Cortez (later Log from the Sea of Cortez): part travelogue, part catalog, part philosophy. It marked a shift away from pure social protest toward ecology, interconnection, and humility before nature. #OceanHistory #Steinbeck

Enter Ed Ricketts: marine biologist, philosopher, and Steinbeck’s closest friend. Together they boarded the Western Flyer for the Sea of Cortez. On paper: a specimen-collecting trip. In truth: escape, reflection, and experiment. #WesternFlyer #SeaOfCortez #OceanHistory

In 1939, Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath. It won the Pulitzer, and unleashed a storm. The novel didn’t just tell the Joads’ story, it accused California agribusiness of exploitation during the Dust Bowl. #Steinbeck #GrapesOfWrath #OceanHistory

Two photos. Same location, same tide pools, 85 years between them. What place could hold such history, and still shape how we see the ocean today? The answer surfaces this September at Ocean Hoptimism.

Early versions of today’s “star species” often looked and lived very differently. Many were short-lived or left few fossils, so they vanish from the record. It makes their modern forms feel older and more inevitable than they really are.
