The credit for this of course goes to John Steinbeck who presented it in the form of a memoir or a biography. He has been one of the greatest novelists and short story writers from America who was presented with a Noble Prize as well for Literature in 1962.

You wouldn’t feel like stopping or going for a break until this audiobook with the amazing performance of Joe Barrett gets finished.
The Log from the Sea of Cortez tells a very interesting account of the day by day adventures of John Steinbeck to the Gulf of California. He was accompanied on this trip by Ed Ricketts, who is a biologist. The book as a whole is a very exciting and wonderful combination of philosophy, science (biology), and top-class adventure.
The detailed account of the aquatic life might be a little exaggerated and also about biology. But, overall, it is a great read and listens to. You will have your time worth it after completing this book in its audio form.
