With Memorial Day weekend on the horizon, summer has finally arrived. ​ And in our opinion, there’s no better way to mark the occasion than with ​ a day—or entire weekend—on the water as we commemorate those who​ gave everything for our freedom.

BoatUS managing editor Rich Armstrong checks out the 26-foot Eelex 8000 electric boat from X Shore during the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The clean, minimalist Scandinavian design is inspired by nature. It was modeled after the robust head and sleek, streamlined body of an eel. More than 10 layout designs are available, meaning it can be outfitted for whatever type of boating you love including fishing, entertaining, diving, or watersports. With a range of 100 nautical miles, it has a top speed of 30+ knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. High-tech features include a geofencing anti-theft app, a wireless MOB built into a watch, and 24-inch MFD that keeps you on top of everything onboard the boat. Starting price is $329,000. https://xshore.com/us/eelex-8000 🚩Enjoy this video?

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.
