In the Boatyard - Fiberglass Repairs, Bottom Job, and Wax (Ep.141) | ⛵ The Foster Journey
Sailboat projects in the boatyard - fiberglass repairs, keel smile, rudder repairs, polishing and waxing, sanding, and bottom paint!! Phew, that's a list! But that's one of the reasons we came to Florida, so now we're "gettin' her done." Join us as we knock out these sailboat projects in the boatyard.
Cheers

WHO ARE WE?
We're the Fosters, and we just sold our house , purchased a sailboat, Cadence, a Catalina 387, and sailed away from land. We're on a journey to minimize our life, learn to live on a sailboat, and travel the oceans.
OUR STORY https://thefosterjourney.blog/
LIVE MAP OF CADENCE LOCATION https://thefosterjourney.blog/map/
HOMESCHOOL https://thefosterjourney.blog/how-to-homeschool-on-a-sailboat/
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 via sailboat, and so am I.
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 in these weekly episodes as we take this journey into the unknown, and share some laughs along the way.
