Andante is a musical tempo marking meaning "moderately slow." It translates from Italian as "at a walking pace" and accurately describes the steady if sometimes uninspired forward progress of a heavy cruising sailboat. These entries document the continuing voyages of the sailing vessel Andante, our 1988 Mason 44 cutter.
