Hey Swedes! We get it. No fires on the rocks. Clearly we didn’t know. Won’t happen again!

[@DougVarble]

Why are you not to have fires on a rock in Sweden? Because the rock might crack?

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

@@DougVarble yes, apparently the rock could crack -- that's what we've been told anyway!

[@vattenpoel1328]

I was just going to make a comment on that, but my fellow swedes also take the "Allemans" right seriuosly. No surprise there. Yes the rocks can and will crack especially if you pour water on it when it is hot.

[@lambertoazzi7883]

Don't bother... just say "yes" to the complainer and then use simple good sense when he goes away... Swedes are particularly "emotional" on certain things... at least this is my point of view after marrying into it 20 years ago and living just on the other side of the Øresund for so long... To crack a rock like those you find along the coast to Göteborg or in the Stockholm archipelago you need a friking furnace from hell... a small cooking or campfire, on top of a rock, will just tickle it... LOL

[@angeloattard9748]

This vlog was poetry! so peaceful and simply beautiful. The narrative was in key with the view and the music. What harmony!

[@joerhodes1894]

As always your video is awesome, I love the way you narrate each one. The History lessons from your adventures is better than any school books could ever offer! As a 70 year old Navy veteran that has sailed the seven seas and crossed the Atlantic Ocean 8 times at the helm of a 599 ft ship - a sub tender. I admire your passion of sailing and am a bit jealous . I loved it out at sea, it was absolutely breath taking even in rough seas.Keep posting your adventures, I look forward to watching all of them!

[@normanplotkin8105]

Great to hear your violin again. Looking forward to seeing more of your Sweden adventures.

[@normanplotkin8105]

@Williams Susan I enjoy your videos but also especially the music you put to each scene and especially your violin playing at the end. I am retired 70 year old and need to save my cash for my boat. Otherwise I would be a patron. I sail a 28' Catalina on a small lake in North Georgia, USA and also charter around the world a few times a year.

[@normanplotkin8105]

@Williams Susan yes, how can we chat privately?

[@joebucktexas]

Brava... Bravo. You have finally arrived you've broken the bonds and are now soaring.

Maya - you in the red dress on the rocks. Beautiful. You in the blue dress on the rocks. Beautiful. It is so magical.

[@Romualdomgn84]

As usually nice video. I cannot believe, that people can such easily change one country to another, freely cross borders and stay at any country they like. You are lucky guys, appreciate that you have this opportunity and correct passport in the pocket.

[@h_yilmaz71]

It’s my dream journey. High quality chapter. We loved to watch it. I’m looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks guys🥰

[@aymeric106]

When skills meet beauty, the result is just Art. This episode is a gem, don't even want to know the time and effort you put into this, just enjoyed it from start to finish.

[@kennethjohansson3785]

Wonderful! Just started following you guys a couple of weeks ago! And now you're visiting my home country! Lovely! Too bad I didn't learn about your channel earlier!

[@cokeariail9398]

I have just discovered you and am a bit enchanted. I am quite take with how intelligent, interesting and well written, and produced, your videos are. And of course, MORE of the violin please!

Like someone already said...pure poetry, this episode was a poem! 🇫🇮

[@robertnixon3816]

I've watched a lot of videos but this one is far and away the best ever! Every facit of it is over the top good and you've set the hook for the upcomming Scandanavia series! I can't wait!!

[@cruisingholiday4996]

It's not the size of the boat, it's the joy of the sail and adventures that it takes you to> Nice to see the two of you making new experiences a reality. Bravo!! Cheers!!

[@danilocanteruccio]

that was so beautiful. adorable. thanks.

[@skipper9400]

Maya ; your music leaves me speechless, and if you knew me, you would truely wonder at that.......the last piece on the rock was really something else kiddo...I was laughing and crying all at the same time....THANKYOU........OnWard......

[@stevenschmidt9477]

Beautiful photography

[@ropersf]

My mother's family is from the west coast of Sweden ( Goteborg ).I have been sailing in the archipelago that stretches north from Bohusland to Norway. The long days around mid-summer are amazing, it barely gets dark and the warm evening light on the glacier worn pink granite is gorgeous. So many quiet anchorages ( or you can tie up to iron rings conveniently placed in the granite on many of the small rocky islands) and tons of small fishing villages and visitor marinas with their red painted buildings, it really is a beautiful place. When I was 17 my parents house swapped for the summer with a family that lived on one of the small islands just north of Goteborg. I spent the whole summer sailing a 14 foot dingy sloop around the nearby islands and some longer trips on a 30 footer all the way to Norway.

[@hjbl2453]

The violins, the red dress, the scenery, magical.... Thank you!

[@brucefielder9312]

Just a magical video! Congratulations on persevering these past two years to complete your dream goal.

[@lkirkby3]

Nice to see the duo of Maya and Maya from a gorgeous rock in a beautiful anchorage. Looking forward to the summer's wanderings.

[@keebearfull]

Stunningly beautiful! That scene @6.04. WOW! Moon at 1st quarter, blue hour, tall ship, calm yet textured sea. (An episode FULL of fantastic photography. Full advantage taken of the lighting at 57 degrees North latitude. Love this filmed story masterpiece!)

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Maya, you should be designated a world side treasure. There is just too much talent in one body.

[@jimsretiring2024]

I'm so happy you are finally getting your wish, and excited to see and learn about Scandinavia.

[@tallbikercat]

THAT was a great intro to your new chapter. Well done! I'm glad to see you playing the violin more.

[@donnarocchio936]

So looking forward to your summer travels. It is wonderful having you back on the seas with your music and experiences in Sweden.

[@ABeriault]

Well done Magic Carpet

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Thank u SO much 🇨🇦

[@Tomm9y]

A well deserved adventure, you put in the work before, during and after your travels. I think you could benefit from some time dinghy racing, you learn so much about many things, including watching the clouds for signs of wind changes, small movements in the boat, trimming sails. I recently bought another boat, a Laser (ILCA) dinghy (last sailed one 20 years ago) when not being used by family I have sailed and even raced it, I'd forgotten how important it is to be able to sail a dinghy even moderately well.

[@ffiori-uw5rz]

Beautiful! Thank's! 🙏❤️🇧🇷

[@rosesrambler]

The bright work is absolutely stunning 🤩 ❤

[@cocakoala5222]

Wow, stunning work! The music and the pictures are soothing to the soul. I am delighted to see that you learned how to tie up against the rocks like we do in Bohuslän. We cherish our beautiful red and grey granite. To me there is nothing nicer than laying down directly on the smooth sun warm rocks looking at the sun go down in the west. So please, please, Maya and Aladino, don't light fires directly on the rocks. It cracks the surface of the stone and it will never be as smooth and beautiful again 😢. Anyway, welcome to Sweden and I can't wait for the next episode!

[@readmycomment3157]

As beautiful as the video was, the audio was amazing. Super clear, amazing soundtrack, the most satisfying sounds of the boat and the water

Nice episode, looking forward to the journey. Especially enjoyed hearing the violin again, especially the Oliver Schroer!

[@isaacalba5917]

Nice to see you guys back in the water. Waiting these new Scandinavian episodes! Great job as always

[@carolinemcdougall8708]

Excited for this adventure of your Scandinavian Fairytale. Other channels have been there of course, and I have loved seeing this country; but your poetic and artistic slant will fit with the lanscape perfectly. Violin music on the rounded rocks, what could be more fitting?

[@stevenprevost6412]

Beautiful video. The rockbound coast of Sweden remnded me of Peggy’s Cove Nova Scotia. Music and your violin playing was great.

[@jmdibonaventuro]

Just got back from a night of sailing, only to watch more sailing. I know I have fallen down this rabbit hole, but I'm not sure whether I want to get out. All jokes aside, this was a beautiful episode! Between the compositing at 2:49, to the opening music choices and forest shots, this episode was simply amazing. I only press like for certain videos (Only 61 so far during my whole time on KZbin), and you guys have more videos on that list than anyone else. Keep up the good work! Enjoy Scandinavia! -J
