The weather is finally picking up! Here is my best translation or close to…
When you were a child, your mother taught you to stop at red and go to green. It’s the same for boating, and we are happy that the nautical world and nature follow the same rules. In the spring, the leaves on the trees ignite with a thousand shades of green, making the canal allies gorgeous. In the meantime, we have come to know our boat better. Plus, we have bought a new battery ($$$$). Now we took a risk to moor in mother nature without electricity. With luck, we can seek more romantic locations to anchor and enjoy more wilderness. Spring not only offers various shades of green, but you can watch Mother Nature come alive and train its young. Plus, watch the red sunsets in the evenings. This is only possible due to having a new battery!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
