Essential Offshore Sailing Gear on a Budget...And Heading Off!
The Foster Journey
Hi! We're a family of 3, working and cruising full-time. We sold our suburban life in 2020, sailed the US East Coast from Texas, and just wrapped up in the Bahamas. Now we're off to distant seas, learning as we go, and having a blast! In these weekly videos, you're invited to come along with us. We want to go all over the world and are working hard to carefully craft a long-term lifestyle. You're invited to watch as we share the journey from suburbia to sailing freely.

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.
