Andiamo’s maiden test sail, prior to leaving Miami (Archive photos)

Shortly before giving up our slip at Coconut Grove, we decided that it was high time we take Andiamo out for a mini “shakedown” sail to make sure that everything checked out ok before we were to head out into the open waters. Especially since we had not sailed her since our first sea trial, which happened before we even BOUGHT her! So, it was a nice Saturday, with a brisk wind blowing about 15 knots, so this was as good a time as any to get her out on Biscayne Bay and see what she can do. We were not disappointed…
