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 …
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 …
2021: The Fleet’s Afloat! (Covid on the water season 2) Read More »
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.

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 …
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 …

We’re quite excited to now have a Google Maps view of our travels, including information and photos, with videos to follow. You’ll see ‘Travels of No Yards’ in one of two places depending where you’re accessing our site from. For desktop users, you’ll find the link on the top menu bar, and for mobile users …

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.
