My blog about Winded, our Matilda 20 sailboat. This site is about the life and times of this boat. (at least while I own her) I'll be using it as sort of a blog about our adventures with this boat. She sat on her trailer at the Attrell's where Sue also keeps her horse for over 19 years. The previous owner, Mike, named her KNOTSENSE. Before that her name was Libka. We've renamed her WINDED.

Winded is now ready to go back into the water.
Well, today I put Winded back on her trailer. I also cleaned up most of the wiring and tucked it away neatly with surface mounted plastic wire conduit. Looks much better than having it pop in and out of the molding. I also wired in the depth finder and hooked up the connectors for the VHF antenna. Unfortunately the knotmeter is toast. I just can't seem to get it working again. Guess I'll just have to use the GPS to tell me how fast I'm going. Now I can go sailing again. Of course that has to wait now because Thursday we're going on a canoe trip to Algonquin and then Sunday we're heading to the cottage for a week. Maybe I'll take it along to the cottage and sail her a day or two on Gull Lake.
