SAILING GINGERLY.......A SOLUTION FOR SEASICKNESS AND OTHER AILMENTS
Without a doubt, the most effective treatment for impending seasickness is candied ginger. We offer a piece of candy to all our guests prior to setting sail. It works!
Since we are bay sailors, we would like to hear from cruisers. How does ginger work at sea? Please let us know at livingonayacht@aol.com
With a bag full of ginger in our cupboard, we began to experiment with other uses.
Suffering with a persistent cough? Suck on a piece of ginger candy. It's very comforting
Suffering from indigestion? Eat a piece of crystalized
ginger candy. Relief is in sight within seconds.
One of our daughters takes ginger for her monthly cramps!
We prefer to buy candied ginger in bulk at our local supermarket or health food store. We usually buy one pound and re-package it in zip-lock bags -- one of the boat, one for the car and one for the office.

Love is in the Air and on the Water
My favorite holiday in February is Valentine's Day. Love is in the air and on the water. So this month seems like an appropriate time to honor Roger and Kate, newlyweds at our marina.
Four months ago, on October 15, 2010, Roger and Kate, who met at our marina, chose the marina as their "wedding chapel." It was a beautiful day graced by sunshine and subtle sea breezes. The grounds at the marina were perfectly suited for the occasion.
The promenade provided a suitable "aisle" for Kate to walk down. She wore a beautiful white wedding gown and carried her sweet cat. Roger waited for her on a dais extending our over the water. It was a appropriate "altar" for Kate's father, an Anglican priest, to marry the couple.
A reception was held on the undulating lawns in the park in front of the marina. It was a very happy event filled with much love and support from the invited guests. I was happy to be among them.
Our marina is the most beautiful one on San Francisco Bay. For many years I have watched brides arrive at at our marina/park, alight from their limos and enjoy a photo shoot with members of their bridal parties. In the background were numerous yachts serving as silent witnesses to these awesome occasions.
At last we had an actual wedding at the harbor. Much happiness to Roger and Kate, a most deserving couple.
