Wow! What a year it’s been

2021 Boating Season / By Paul

First:  I’ve (Paul) been a little – actually a lot – slack in keeping this site up to date.  So in as few words as possible I’ll see if I can bring you up to date on the happenings of the past 6 months or so.  I’ll break it down as follows: 2021 Boating Season …

2021: The Fleet’s Afloat! (Covid on the water season 2)

3 Comments / 2021 Boating Season / By Paul

Hello friends!  It’s now been more than 2 weeks since we returned to No Yards, and man have we been busy.  I’d like to report that we are all set for the season, but of course there is still work to be done (and the impending end of Ontario’s umpteenth stay-at-home order of the Covid …

The Shadow Over 2020 – COVID-19

2020 / By Paul

There’s no need for me to tell anyone here about COVID-19 is there?  So I’ll skip right to the impact it has had on us.  Beginning in March, and through to the last day of 2020 and beyond, COVID forced us to make adjustments to our plans.  Pseudo-chronologically, here they are: Honduras:  We flew to Honduras …

The Fleet Gets Smaller – So Long to Little Fella

General / By Paul

Little Fella gets a New Home The fleet got a little smaller last month after we sold Little Fella and her trailer to new owners.  No need to have two dinghies in the fleet, and the extra cash will help with a few minor upgrades to No Yards this coming season.  Little Fella served us …

2020 Part 3 – South for the Winter

2020 / By Paul

Surely something in 2020 would go as planned right?  Our retirement plan has us going south for the winter, and we wanted to be sure this year was no exception.  So on September 14, having left No Yards the previous day, we landed in our waterfront condo, just as planned, all the way south from …

There’s no snow to shovel here my friends… We are snowbirds – Season 1. We arrived in Trujillo, Honduras on January 13, 2020. This was exactly 517 years, 4 months, 30 days (or 188,983 days if you prefer) after Christopher Columbus landed there in 1502. Needless to say we were able to get to Trujillo …

2020 Part 2A – Summer on No Yards

2020 / By Paul

We moved aboard No Yards on May 8th this year, about 10 days later than we moved aboard in 2019.  There were fewer boats in the water than when we moved aboard last year, but the Bay Port staff worked quickly to get our neighbours in as summer was approaching.  We moved out of Bay …

2020 Part 2B – Little Fella(s)

2020 / By Paul

How many dinghies should one boat have anyhow? You absolutely need one for the type of boating we do; anchor out in a beautiful secluded location, then hop on the dinghy to do things like pick up guests, visit neighbours, go fishing, explore, get groceries, do the laundry, get more booze, etc. We started 2019 …

No Yards – Its Origins

4 Comments / Pre 2019 / By Paul

…….from the mind and fingers of the guy sometimes known as “Captain Paul”.  This is a long story…… Some, possibly many, of those reading this will know the background on the idea behind No Yards – the boat name and the lifestyle.  For others, this will either clarify what you thought you knew or explain …
