After 91 years, flying fish but no plying boat as the Blanche W ends its Catalina Island run.  (Los Angeles Times, 9/6/2015)

The 35 passengers aboard the Blanche W sat on gleaming mahogany benches on this cruise to see flying fish. Deckhand Maui Hernandez scanned the waves with a 40-million candlepower carbon-arc searchlight that came from a World War I battleship.  

"There's some!" she shouted. 

The passengers whipped around to see dozens of wriggling black-and-silver missiles soaring over the water. One rose about 7 feet, hovered like a butterfly and landed with a splash. Another torpedoed the side of the boat. Yet another glided into the gaping bill of a hungry pelican.

You can now ride the Cyclone, a 50-minute adventure that will set you back $34 -- $30, if you're a kid.  (Age not specified.)
