13:00 hours August 28, 2011. The engine is running to recharge the battery. I'm in the cabin and only find the corner of one cushion is wet. Everything else is in great shape. Nothing broken. Only a wet cushion. The exterior of the boat is good and The Force, our dinghy, is just where we left her. Winds probably didn't get higher than 50 mph our mettle wasn't tested to the max but it was tested.

Sono giornate lavorativamente molto produttive. Ci svegliamo presto, organizziamo la nostra giornata e rispettiamo tutti gli slot che ci prefissiamo. Abbiamo progetti nuovi in cantiere per cui nutriamo grande entusiasmo, alcuni dei quali vi coinvolgeranno in prima persona! Insomma: questa parentesi ferma a terra sta manifestandosi sotto una luce molto più brillante di quanto pensassimo. La tanto blasonata resilienza riassume proprio questo concetto di trarre da ogni situazione l’opportunità che si cela alle sue spalle. Stiamo concentrandoci su ciò che è sotto al nostro controllo e non considerando l’inevitabile o ciò che è più grande di noi (il meteo in questo caso), tanto non ci possiamo fare nulla. Così dopo una grande giornata di lavoro e un bell’allenamento andiamo a fare due passi in una zona nuova della città: incantevole! Ci lasciamo rapire da profumi messicani passeggiando e decidiamo di ritardare il nostro ritorno a bordo. Così gustiamo nachos e burritos, ascoltiamo un bravissimo chitarrista che suona davanti a noi e torniamo in barca. Che giornata piena di energia, vita e energie positive! Avanti così☺️ Andrea

The Brand banks 32 is a classic trawler yacht. Virtually unchanged in spirit throughout production since the early "woody" days in Hong Kong's Junk Bay over 45 years ago, the 32 has long been valued for her economy underway, ease of operation and her perfect size for a couple or small family, whether new to boating or experienced mariners. The 32 is a lovely, practical and "economical diesel cruiser" to use GB's own words. Sold by NWExplorations. Hull 722, Slow Dance, is a tenderly-loved fiberglass 32 Grand Banks and one of the few currently available in the Pacific Northwest. Having received extensive electronics, systems and maintenance updates in 2010-2011, she is ready to head north and continue her explorations. Her stout hard-chined semi-displacement hull design and well-protected running gear give her a seaworthiness that has built the Grand Banks reputation the world over. Inside, the spacious windows, warm teak joinery for which GB is so respected and diesel heater coddle you year-round in cozy comfort as your dinner simmers on the propane stove. Enjoy that fresh catch with a few friends around the drop-leaf dining table in the Salon or in the glow of a sunset in that spacious cockpit or on the flybridge. Cap off the evening with your feet propped on the cockpit's rail as you sip a "sundowner", before retiring to the comfortable forward berth. After a peaceful night on the hook, rouse her efficient Lehman diesel (1.8-2.5 gph fuel consumption) in the immaculate engine room and take command of her well-equipped helm to venture out for another day of exploring. With a 32, it doesn't get any easier or more relaxing.
