An Offshore Sail, a Storm Strategy, a Clearwater Cantina (e.80) | ⛵ The Foster Journey
In this episode, SV Cadence takes us across the final stretch of the Gulf of Mexico from Apalachicola FL to Clearwater, Florida in a soothing overnight offshore sail. But we don’t get to squeeze into port easily – there’s an thunderstorm awaiting and we share a simple storm strategy. In port, we seek out a Clearwater Cantina at the Clearwater Marina, and do a few chores to prepare for the next leg of the journey.
Hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Matt
SV Cadence

Who Are We?
We’re the Fosters, and we just sold our house and purchased a sailboat, Cadence, a Catalina 387. We’re on a journey to minimize our life, learn to live on a sailboat, and sail away.
In 2019, Matt quit his public education career of 15 years, and went full-time building his own business. Olivia is ready to explore the world, and so am I…but first, we have to save up, learn about sailing, and figure out a way to leave land.
We’re sharing this journey with you in hopes that it’ll bring you a smile, provide something helpful, and maybe give a bit of inspiration to live life on your terms – to explore your world.
Join us as we take this journey into the unknown, and share some laughs along the way.
