Welcome

We are Dave and Diane, an adventurous couple, embarking on a life-changing journey aboard our sailing catamaran, KINDNESS. From breathtaking sunsets in remote islands to picturesque coastal towns laden with charm, our nomadic life allows us to immerse ourselves in the healing beauty of this world, allowing us the time to reflect spiritually on what matters most. It's not just the breathtaking places we encounter making our journey special; it is the people we meet and the connections we form along the way. In our pursuit of exploration, we have found the true essence of living: touching peoples’ hearts, experiencing beautiful places, and sharing our journey with you.

British Virgin Islands

KINDNESS comes to explore the British Virgin Islands. This is full circle for us as we bought KINDNESS here a little over three years ago at Nanny Cay, Tortola. We were excited to return, and even got to visit Leverick Bay where we first learned to sail a catamaran, Saba Rock and the Bitter end resorts, both of which were still in a state of ruin and rebuilding due to Irma in 2017.

Flip Flop Beach

KINDNESS comes to explore Flip Flop Beach on Stocking Island in the Exuma Island Chain - Bahamas. We were so impressed with the quaint setup by the cruisers on this little hide away beach. The trails were great and the beautiful secluded beaches were breathtaking. A little off the beaten path makes it well worth the visit.
