Our latest video, Sailing Soccer Mum, is a cruiser and family friendly guide to Townsville, Queensland. We have been in Townsville for a couple months and we have found some wonderful (and FREE) places to visit, see, and activities to do with kids - and bonus is that they are all within walking distance from the marina. Breakwater Marina- Walking distance to the supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths). Great Staff, you can be liveaboards in the marina. The facilities include toilets, showers, laundry area, bins and there is a courtest car for hire ($10 for 2 hours) Castletown Shopping Center - A bit further of a distance but it is certainly a fun day out. They have a Play center (free) for kids, supermarkets, BIG W, doctors, optometrists, cafes, shoppes, and lots lots more. We really enjoyed going to the Teddy Beat Tea Time out on during school holidays - a free event for kids! Townsville City Library (Flinders Street) Located on the second floor of the building, and it is free to become a member. They have free wifi, a crafts table for kids, and a kids courner filled with books, toys, dress up, and a tent! We really enjoyed our time at the library. Museum of Tropical Queensland Free entry but they do put on special exhibits and the special short time ones are a small fee. They have a science area that you can easily spend hours in with kids and lots of interactive activities and hunts to do around the museum. On the top level (and the far back) is a giant tropical tree with a slide and activity for the kids. Lots to see and very interactive.

We learned from the George Town Facebook group that fishermen were going to be at the government dock. I showed up a little late and so I think all that was left was fresh fish. No lobster and no conch. The fisherman had several very large Mutton Snapper. I had never heard of Mutton before and so I was a bit apprehensive about buying. But, I took a chance. A smaller, one-meal fish, was $20. This larger fish was $75. I suspect I could have negotiated but I never really feel good about doing so given the fact that he's hardly making a killing. I think we got about 8 lbs of fillets off of this fish and so $75 it's really pretty cheap, compared to what we purchase fresh (not really fresh) fish back in the States. We had fresh dill from the Salt Pond farmers market. So, I decided to use dill, lime, olive oil, salt, pepper and a shallot to season. Dropped it in the air fryer and it was awesome! #sailingcatamaran #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #sailing #cruising #offgrid #nomad #sail #boat #multihull #whileone #sailingwhileone #bigseas #lifeafter50 #sailinglife
