The Foster Journey is Back!
Hey everyone, it’s The Foster Journey, and we’re officially back on YouTube! We know, we know – it’s been a minute. Life, as it often does, threw us a few curveballs, with responsibilities and the daily grind pulling us away from the camera.

But we’ve missed you all, and we’re absolutely thrilled to share this new vlog, straight from the tranquil waters of Long Island Sound.

Thanks for sticking with us, and we’re so glad you’re here!

In this episode, as we sail a leisurely course from the beautiful shores of Long Island towards the charming harbor of Port Jefferson, we decided it was the perfect time to have a little heart-to-heart about something that’s truly redefined our approach to sailboat travel: the art of slow, slow pace of travel.

2 Days Spinnaker Sailing Long Island, Late June

Forget the rush to hit every landmark or tick off every tourist trap. Our journey on the water has taught us the profound beauty of slowing down. It’s about savoring the sunrise over a glassy bay, letting the wind dictate your schedule, discovering hidden coves, and truly immersing ourselves in a place, rather than just passing through.

This isn’t about covering vast distances quickly; it’s about deepening our connection with the water, the land, and each other.

Join us as we navigate the gentle currents of the Sound, sharing not just the stunning views, but also our evolving philosophy on life aboard. We’ll show you how embracing this slower rhythm allows for unexpected discoveries, genuine interactions with local communities, and a deeper appreciation for the simple moments that often get lost in a fast-paced world.

We’re so excited to restart this chapter of The Foster Journey with you. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s rediscover the joy of the journey, one slow sail at a time.

      We just started our sailing journey, from Kemah in a Catalina we bought from LYS, no previous sailing experience! Love following along on your videos, especially considering the similarities in our beginnings! Bought our boat in November, halfway through our first two week trip to Port A and back through the ICW. Leaving Kemah next month for our first offshore trip to Gulfport MS then hopefully up to Florida, down the keys and Bahamas.
      We’re watching your videos from the beginning and are at the point you just crossed the gulf to Florida. Perfect timing 🙂
      Looks like you may be taking a break from sailing? Hope all is well with you and your family. 🙏😊
