Writer John Steinbeck authored more than 30 books including the literary classics “Of Mice and Men” and “Grapes of Wrath.” But it was his story of a voyage to Baja California, “The Log from the Sea of Cortez,” that made his boat, The Western Flyer, perhaps the most famous fishing vessel to have ever sailed.
