A beautifully sentimental & serene video. Your production from the filming, storytelling, musical composition and overall editing is always so wonderfully well done. A joy to watch. And I totally agree, where you are sailing there in Sweden very much resembles where we are sailing here in British Columbia. Cheers! -A

[@kenandzana]

Thank you Maya, For your soothing fiddle,I suffer from chronic and persistent neuropathic pain and for 26 minutes it vanishes and for that I am grateful. Thank you Aladino, for your quiet thoughtful calmness. I always look forward to your videos. Much Respect .

[@johndavidson6867]

A most wonderful video tribute to "Magic Carpets" birth place. I have watched, first Maya as she struggled with the engine in her vessel, getting dad to help her out. Then as she meets Aladino and assists in the rebuild of "Magic Carpet", the joining of their lives, sailing the Med, crossing Europe, finding and starting the rebuild of "Magic Carpet ll", Back for a joyous summer of cruising in "Magic Carpet" once again, and as always Maya's wonderful playing. May this holiday season bring you joy and happiness, the year ahead be your best yet as you work again on "Magic Carpet ll".

[@AussieBit451]

That jellyfish footage was unreal! *chefs kiss* 🤌

[@SilentSooYun]

Still can't get over how beautiful the shine is on that wood. Gorgeous! 11:20 That crab is carrying a little kitten on it's back! You can see it staring at us just above the rock :D

[@voyagevirage]

I find myself smiling unconscious throughout your videos, thank you. You’re helping me through a complicated pregnancy and prescribed bed rest and keeping me inspired for our own upcoming sailing adventures. Grateful 😊

[@JanisTilyard]

Ah Maya leaving a cloud of notes like flurrying butterflies. Beautiful. ❤

[@bevtrue6937]

Awesome description. Wow.

[@tomjacobsen664]

Agreed and wonderful vocals just amplify the atmospherics. Brava!

[@maiaontour9070]

These butterflies are a great Christmas gift for all of us, thank you so much!

[@judyweber9855]

I agree, the scenery also reminds me of Desolation Sound, such a beautiful area which is bringing back all kinds of wonderful sailing memories.

[@joebuchanan3808]

Just found your channel and I can't begin to tell you the peace and joy your brief videos have brought me. Love the violin notes drifting away with nature, where they belong.

[@mrm4400]

As always another stunning video. I don't think I've ever seen another boat as well maintained as yours. You're two very special people. Thank you for being able to see your world through your eyes. Lots of love and blessings from Cape Town.♥️🇿🇦

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for watching the videos! -Maya

[@mro4855]

Your channel inspired me to add a sailboat to my other 2 boats I bought cape dory 27 to sail locally for now Mohammad from Washington DC 8:55 good luck and a happy new year 🎉

[@smokedoliver1]

It’s refreshing to see a couple prescribe to “less is more” and with good music too.😊

[@erikborjesson4046]

I sailed the same waters as a child with my grandparents Hallberg Rassy 29 and my mothers sailing dingy. The islands you wisited are the same. You catch it all so beautifull that I almost cry from nostalgia.

[@jacksgirl23]

The light jazz and soft fiddle music were very nice.

[@allens7476]

I love the ‘pace’ of your editing. Let the scenes ‘breathe’. So many videos feel the need to fill the time with words. That made me think of the violin as synonymous with sailing. Beautiful wood crafted by hand in harmony with nature.

[@DiabloSpearguns]

Wonderful video and the edit of the jellyfish rocked .

[@koosslootweg8500]

Magical anchorages! Magical islands, magical music. Thank you.

[@bobbiejay2085]

Well this episode certainly pulled at the yachting heart strings ... very moving ❤️

[@napoleonnz]

Sailing as Art- unmissable!

[@johnlewis4045]

Your music selections (light jazz vocals and "fiddle" are very calming, much appreciated in today's rat race. I've made many trips to Atlantic Canada both for work and and turing with my wife. Our daughter-in-law is from Switzerland, we've made several trips to Switzerland also I feel a close connection to you both. Thank you and you are much and much.appreciated

[@geoffpm]

I am a Patron and subscriber on KZbin. Thanks to you both for providing me the Zen moments in life. I wish you a great New Year !!!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so very much for all the support Geoffrey! Happy new year to you as well.

[@SailingSeaDreamofClyde]

Such a beautiful boat you have! Indeed, owning a boat can feel more like being a steward to the vessel, and you two are incredible stewards to Magic Carpet! That beautiful song you played on the beach reminds me of a song called "The Littlest Doyle" by Andrew Finn Magill. On the very last day of sailing the Inside Passage last summer, I continued sailing into the night towards Nanaimo as the wind was just too warm and steady to leave behind for the evening. As I sailed into the darkness, which was softened by the glow of bioluminescence reflecting off the genoa, I listened to Andrew's album on repeat. His wonderful fiddle tunes heightened the emotions I was feeling that night as I contemplated the previous 4 months of sailing up and down the coast. This episode give me similar feelings as you both express your feelings of Magic Returning "home," and your fiddle music is a perfect background. Great episode!

[@jannekepetersen6591]

Glad to hear that Port Townsend is one of the places you feel at home. We love it here. We also know what it's like feeling like home is more than one place. It's something I both love and find hard. Beautiful video!

[@judyweber9855]

What a wonderful glimpse of your jam session. It was amazing.

[@ghrey8282]

Beautiful, just beautiful, all I can say.

[@reetyul88]

Beautiful music echoing through the woods. I love that!

[@robbywittlin1631]

This episode I found melancholic, a little sad maybe. But the pictures of the Swedish landscapes are so beautiful and somehow quiet, matching the mood you tried to capture. As always, a very big thank you!

[@hampussundin2212]

Love this episode! So nice of you to bring back Magic Carpet to Vindön! I hope I meet you guys sometime, somewhere, somehow! Love

[@markymarknj]

Beautiful places and beautiful music! What could be better than that?

[@Davidcallard]

Magic Carpet really lives up to her name for me as my go - to sanctuary from the growing clamour of war drums 🥁 that seem to be so rudely invading our peace. I am a wheelchair - bound elderly invalid but I still have my faculties fully functioning and I really need ❤️ images of peace and love ❤️. Thank you!

[@MrJump12k]

Outstanding videography!!! Gets better all the time.... God blessed you guys! Love the Vindo connection!

[@hansengels3569]

01:34 wonderful maya

[@williamlarimore1308]

Wow what a wonderful place.

[@larrimos]

Your videos are always sublime and this one is no exception. No other creators I can think of entice me to want to drop everything and head out on an adventure to far flung locations. Thank you both for the daydream.

[@bluewendytube]

My eyes filling with tears, for goodness sake!!!

[@claeswikberg8958]

"Grillkorv" over an open flame, that's the taste of childhood summers right there!

[@lassetornkvist2912]

Thank you, Aladino and Maya for another unforgettable moment. Here in Bohuslän it is the evening before christmas eve and about a frosty -5 degrees C. Best season greetings for both of you and a happy new year from Lasse and Hilma (my Vindö 30).

[@larskilbo1002]

This waters are my home waters where I been sailing for 50+ years. It's very interesting to get the view of visitors to the area, it makes me rediscover things!

[@peterbremberg3900]

The island of Vindö and the shipyard in Henan I visited in 1972, 50 years ago, to pick up together with my father our brandnew Vindö 30 from Mr. Andersson himself. We sailed then back to Kiel, Germany in two weeks. It is nice for me to see this place again now. Back then it was a few wooden sheds. Thanks to you for the pictures. Peter

[@gertgoransson8698]

Nice that you like my home waters. The beautiful rowboat is a " Tiohuggare" also called a whale boat traditionally used as a ship boat on merchant ships or as a trainingboat in the navy. You should be saling past my ancorage (abay south after HR yatch)in next episode i think.

[@waynerudiger1756]

Most KZbin videos that I watch are interesting. Yours are as well, and so much more. Watching a Magic Carpet video I feel calm, joy, maybe a bit of melancholy (that last tune), peaceful, smiling. Thank you so much for this weekly dose of wonderful.

[@merryfergie]

Even the red jellyfish is beautiful. The image of the Canadian flag at the stern with the evergreen landscape did look alike british Colombia

[@nicodenhertog]

What a great impression again. You really make us feel in the moment of silence and tranquility. Commentary voice as good as ever. That is really an art. Every episode is a gem. A beautiful mix of images, music and commentary. Good quality stable shots almost as if they were made on a tripod. Thank you and I thoroughly enjoy your adventures!!!

[@myhillslife27]

This is a lovely episode Maya, I loved the visuals, the music, I love even more you included more of the day to day activity Aladino and you doing the simple things. I loved video. the location is stunning but your presentation and sensitivity is really a joy to watch.. Thankyou.. I love that you don't start with adverts and love your down to earth approach. again thankyou Maya much enjoyed again this week.. This one is special xo

[@britnews]

Vindo Marin. Where my boat is sleeping right now. They are great people

[@royburnham1312]

The most wonderful sailing boat I owned was a Vindo 32. Sailed beautifully. Moored in Poole Harbour on UK’s south coast I spent as much time as possible aboard. Your beautiful videos make me nostalgic. I bought a larger boat as a liveaboard for my retirement but still miss Eske.

[@selsyn73]

Maya, “Open to imagination” perfectly describes the content you guys share with us. Taking us on your journey is such a generous offering. Thanks. Peace

[@cyclomaniac9086]

I hope the two of you are enjoying the G.G.R featuring Kirsten Neurschafer with her Cape George 36, Minihaha; hammering through the southern ocean on her solo race around the world. What an amazing woman and beautiful boat. Now I understand the potential Aladino saw for Magic Carpet II. Kudos to you both and Merry Christmas.

[@erictakakjian6021]

Wonderful episode! Very cool to see the Vindo yard, looked like lots of really nice boats

[@Margaretha1901]

The last piece of music did me remind of a very famous Dutch autor named Simon Carmiggelt, who read his storys on national television. A joy to listen to.

[@MikeSantis]

Exciting to watch this episode where you sailed exactly the same track I sailed back in September for a second time. The first time was back in 2019. Wonderful sailing grounds. Thanks for the video guys.

[@karelundberg9523]

Fantastic fun that you chose to sail through Askerö and Hakefjord. Many years ago I grew up by this fjord and went to school in Stenungsund. This part of Bohuslän (county) has great similarities with the Stockholm archipelago, although the mountains in Bohuslän are slightly higher and more massive and more similar to the Norwegian and Scottish landscapes.

[@10lauset]

Cheers and Happy Holidays.

[@MrRandallWhipple]

Wow! Again. Merry Christmas and thank you

[@sonkeherting9987]

What a wonderful video. It’s always a pleasure watching your episodes. Merry Christmas and a happy New year.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much, and a Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@dkbauman6982]

Thank you for another beautiful video

[@meh4743]

Your boat is very warm and inviting. Plus the music and the scenery is so perfect. Very nice orchestration of your beautiful talents. Thank you Aladino and Maya.

[@norman4991]

Each video is an art work, you even make jellyfish look beautiful. Thank you.

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

such wonderful music.. thanks..

[@fchck040]

Wow! Congrads!

[@davidkumeroa2997]

Beautiful guys. Merry Christmas. Fairwinds

[@colinjacob1702]

What can one write, another superb offering from the duo Magic carpet. Friday evening here is Wales is always looked forward to waiting for your next edition to be broadcast. Thank you for your efforts.

[@mikewillis2934]

Such a peaceful place

[@wjw7611]

I loved this episode! I watched the Boatyard segment three times (and counting) just to soak up the many beautiful boats. More boats please! Thanks for sharing.

[@lennartfloberg9377]

Wow, Your channel is amazing. I just found it and it’s so relaxing to watch, like core mindfullness. What a surprise I got when started this episode and found the town where I grow up, Stenungsund after one minute. And in the previous episode you go to my former neighbours summer island Risö! 😊

[@brentbauer8258]

People say it is fun to swim with the dolphins, but it would be much more interesting to say lets go swim with the jellyfish! So tempting, but so painful. Ouch! It sure does look like BC Canada.

[@Tomm9y]

So much gently incorporated into another lovely MC video. I particuarly appreciate how Vindo boats are maintained and rejuvenated by skilled people.

[@earthman3000]

Wow, just another masterpiece.

[@frespreen159]

As a Vindo owner this episode was extra special. I was positive surprised that the Vindo yard still is operational and that the traditional woodwork continues! Besides this the episode was beautiful as always.

[@MrJamesdCarter]

When you mentioned that when you looked at the shoreline that it looked like you were home. I had the same feeling. It reminded me of the islands along the North Channel of Lake Huron. It's simply beautiful. I love it. This is a great video and I am so happy that you shared it with all of us. Thank you!

[@billedgar297]

Thank you once again Maya for sharing your life, your adventures. I love the sound of voice, such a soothing tone and of course your choice of music when you entertain us with your violin. Happy, safe sailing from Bill On the beautiful, rugged shores of Nova Scotia ❤️.

[@magnefauli]

I loved this episode. Having more or less grown up in a Vindö in these waters back in the seventies, I may just have been on Vindön when Magic Carpet was being built.

[@davidnichols147]

Merry Christmas! Beautiful.

[@michaelcanto6175]

Nice and mellow, lovely music, thanks, Merry Christmas to you both

[@fritzlandwehr3371]

Again: A fantastic video with extraordinary pictures, with a successful implementation of the mood that prevailed during the days of your Swedish tour. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year

[@pricedives]

Such a Lovely video. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

[@Darklightbeam]

Christmas Cheer to you both. I have my spirits raised every time I watch what you get up to. Gpx

[@moregold]

Love and blessings on your continuing journey. Thank you Maya for your wonderful music. That emotion Aladino spoke of came across in the video: I felt tears of joy. Happy Holidays!

[@DrDaleHubbardPhD]

Incredible quality

[@seancampbell6733]

This is amazing! Thank you for making these videos.

[@saenole66]

Outstanding video. Maya’s music and the background music selected were both excellent. The Vindo boatyard was interesting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@joepcdejong9214]

So wonderful and inspiring to follow your journey! Thanks for sharing!

[@cajuncustomizedexcursions7064]

Sweden is so beautiful and again, you capture it perfectly!!! Safe travels and can’t wait until the next episode!!!❤❤

[@Kevin15301]

Great video. A really mellow vibe to it and the music was great fit. Good job Maya and Dino Merry Christmas

[@olebloom1641]

Such a wonderful wistful episode. As always enchanting.

[@rhcppunk]

Thank you for a beautiful episode. I daysail often to Slussen. I’m so glad you got to experience the magic of my sail waters, it is beautiful and serene ❤

[@jakobtheinventor]

Great vibe to lighten a dark december evening. Thank you

[@MothsandRods]

Wow. I haven't dropped-in to your channel for eighteen months or so. You've progressed from great to incredible in that time. The restoration of the new boat is beautiful. I know how much work that is, having briefly owned a Kettenburg 38. At the same time your video production has reached new levels of confidence and art that would capture the heart of anyone with sailing in their veins. Fair winds, and thank you for sharing your story.

[@MarkAtkinson-hx5cc]

A great episode. I’ve been watching from the beginning and have enjoyed following your adventures. Pura Vida!

[@michaelfunk5951]

Very calming to be on the water in such beautiful weather and such wonderful views as you sail.

[@TM-19999]

Great as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR😍😊

[@itsmedaveh5516]

What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@chrislgriffiths]

Maya, your violin sometimes has the tone or character of Highland pipe music, as in the first piece here, and so fitting to the scene. Magic.Thank you both.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Thanks for sharing another beautiful video video 😊💕💕⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@dfsimmons55]

That was definitely a very special episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@philipmccumbee3624]

I am watching this on Christmas morning 2022 and find the video so soothing. What beautiful country and Maya you sound so awesome as usual. You two guys are living the dream for all of us. Merry Christmas ‘22.
