Steinbeck and "The Log from the Sea of Cortez"

26 August

Some years ago, i read the fascinating 'Log from the Sea of Cortez' by John Steinbeck. awesome stuff. here is a new expedition with some stanford people retracing the path of that voyage of discovery.

Documenting sea life, life at sea aboard the Gus D

i must have read everything steinbeck wrote. my favorite of all time is what i consider his understated masterpiece, 'In Dubious Battle', which others see only as a prelude to 'The Grapes of Wrath'.

i enjoyed going down to Steinbeck County (i have a lavish coffee-table book of the same title) -- such as Monterey -- with my parents.
