Life at the Marina While the Captain Is Away | Townsville Cruising | Sailing with the Jameses Ep.165

While Sam is away in Vanuatu, we’re holding down the fort and settling into marina life in Townsville. In this video we take you along for a look at what day-to-day life is like at the Breakwater Marina — from cruiser-friendly facilities and family-friendly attractions, to markets, cafés, swimming spots, and easy ways to keep kids entertained while living aboard. Marina stays are often short and busy for cruisers, filled with maintenance, provisioning, and catching up on life admin — so Townsville has been a great place to pause, reset, and enjoy some shore-based comforts while still living the cruising life. If you’re a cruising family, planning a stop in Townsville, or just curious what marina life looks like when one half of the crew is away, this one’s for you. --------------------------------- 🎉 WANT TO KEEP VIDEOS COMING?
