We left Galveston too late during hurricane season and now it's a race to safety along the west coast of Florida - Sarasota, Cayo Costa, San Carlos Bay, St Charles Yacht Club - just us and our sailboat trying to move fast and still enjoy the moments. But t...
A Quick Overnight Sail from Ft Myers, Florida to Marathon, FL put us offshore for about 26 hours and sent us into the bright turquoise waters of the Florida Keys! Join us for some night action on the ocean, Marathon Marina, and a little low-key biking arou...
Enjoy 3 minutes of sailing footage, ASMR style with the sound of waves, gentle music, and sailing video from Summer 2021 on SV Cadence. We're taking this weekend off to get ready for an 4-day offshore passage in the North Atlantic, so it's a perfect time t...
We're heading to a lighthouse, but first we sail in the Florida keys to Tavernier Key, discover an engine problem, and snorkel with fish. Hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Matt

Key Biscayne is totally coo! But first we share our sail there from Tavernier Key, we hit a small squall, and enter Stilsville at dark. Then we move to No Name Harbor in search of a lighthouse.
Hope you enjoy!

Okay, friends, hang on with this episode - we're trying a simple SAILING VLOG format where we simply grab a camera and record as we sail. There's no fancy editing or slo-mo, and very little if any music. It's just you, us, and Cadence sailing. And in this ...
After 2 months of full-time sailboat travel, we have a few discoveries to share! If we only knew these lessons and discoveries about sailboat life earlier, we might have made a few different choices. But here we are, lessons learned after 2 months of sailb...

Sailing in the Atlantic Ocean can't be that hard, right? Originally, we planned on coastal hopping up the Florida, Georgia, and Carolina coasts to escape hurricane season, but then a better idea came along - let's jump 420nm in the Atlantic, ride the Gulf ...
Storms at Sea when Sailing into the Atlantic Ocean. We were sailing 420NM in the Atlantic from Florida to North Carolina, and the first part of the passage was great (see part 1). But when the sunrise doesn't greet you, instead you see clouds and haze, and...
It seems like mother nature has sent us through a tutorial recently on sailing in storms at sea, so we figured it'd be great to share 3 strategies and lessons that we use in storms (in this BONUS Episode 92). There are so many more strategies out there, so...
It's time for a change of pace. Cruising the Carolinas in the ICW. The Waccamaw River, Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, South Carolina, and North Carolina - we cruise it all via sailboat in this week's episode.
Hope you enjoy!

It's time to explore land and slow down the race from Hurricane season! So we've found ourselves in Carolina Beach, North Carolina and walk around Wilmington, NC. Join us as we wash the Cadence in the rain, roam Battleship North Carolina, explore the histo...
Sailing from Wrightsville Beach to Beaufort, NC was smooth - almost too smooth. And then we encountered the U.S. Military offshore! The experience was great, and the 80NM trip was perfect!

After sailing offshore from Wrightsville Beach, NC we decided to take a few days to explore the ICW from Beaufort, NC to Chesapeake, VA. And we're glad we did! It's one of the loveliest stretches of waterway with a few unexpected stops along the way. Join ...
We started the mission to Maine back in June 2021, and now it's time to make a tough call. In this episode, we try to find Mother Nature's cadence and get in step. But some tunes are just hard to play along with.
Hope you enjoy!

Homeschool on sailboat (part 3) - a walk in the woods - a glance into history. When we set out in June 2021 we were on a mission to Maine, but things change. And that's a major lesson we've learned - go with the flow. So now that we're stuck waiting on hur...
Sailing to one of the world's largest Navy Shipyards, and onward to Fort Monroe and Hampton, Virginia - specifically, Mill Creek and Phoebus. This adventure was a interesting collection of river, bay, US Navy shipyards, lovely anchorage, and old towne feel...
Yay! It's our 100th episode - sailing, travel, simplifying life - all of that Foster Journey stuff, ya know. To celebrate, we created this video, which recaps sailing in Texas and from Texas to Florida, and sailing from Florida to the Chesapeake Bay (with ...
Sailing to Jamestown VA in the James River. In the previous episode, mother nature dictated new terms to our little arrangement. So we followed her lead and are heading in a new direction - this time, we're sailing back in time via the James River to James...
Sailing to Jamestown, VA was the easy part - going ashore to explore Jamestown Settlement is the hard part! Now that Cadence is anchored near Jamestown, it's time to explore this settlement from the past.
Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Matt's Birthday live chat!!! This month marks just under 7 months of full time sailboat life and travel...so we figured a quick year in review would be fun, plus we're responding to a few questions and comments we've received!

Sailing to Deltaville, VA from Hampton in the Chesapeake was our best sail yet! And that little thunderstorm, well, it was just part of the fun. Hope you enjoy this sailing vlog in Chesapeake Bay!

Simple Life living on a sailboat in Deltaville. That's the aim at least. And we get pretty close to it here in Deltaville living on a sailboat at anchor with no cars and no more stuff. Just family fishing, exploring, sharing a simple lunch, watching it rai...
Prentice Creek and Hughlett Point quickly became one of our favorite spots to anchor in the Chesapeake bay! It's secluded and has a forest/lake feel to it. It's not like the open Chesapeake. Rather, it has a chill feel, a small fishing creek, and a beautif...
Sailing to Solomons Island, Maryland was one of the highlights from cruising Chesapeake Bay. We've heard great things from sailors who anchor in Solomons, MD (Solomons Island). So we thought, let's sail there and check it out! It didn't disappoint. The sai...
Sailing to Annapolis from Solomons, Maryland. This sailing vlog is a simple video from a simple 10-hour sail in the Chesapeake bay. We left Solomons after cruising the southern half of the Chesapeake Bay for over a month, and now we're heading up to Annapo...
