I really appreciate you don’t take your camera everywhere. Your story telling is wonderful enough.

[@AlpineJoy]

Yes, indeed.

[@SteinVarjord]

I’m from southern Norway and grew up sailing the south coast of Norway and west coast of Sweden. Over the last 60 years I’ve had many experiences that gave me the feeling you describe. Priceless! I now live in Amsterdam, but I’ll keep sailing to these idyllic archipelagos of southern Scandinavia. Several hundred thousand islands means it’s impossible to run out of new places to explore.

[@dellnichols4625]

Thank you so much for this video. In June of 2000 we went to Sweden to visit friends. They had a summer house on Orust. We sailed around the nearby islands. We explored. We shared a meal outside overlooking the sea. Our host played his accordion. The daylight lasted until midnight. I will never forget that experience as long as I live. Magic!

[@jakobtheinventor]

What a beautiful episode! I got so touched by your enthusiasm and sensibility, Maya. She's a keeper Aladino!

[@dannysimons100]

I love watching your channel because both of you inspire with your brilliance. Aladino, with your amazing skill as a craftsman, and Maya, your ability as a story teller mixed with your passion, eloquence, and willingness to share are a true gift. Thank you 🙏

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so so much for such kind words Danny!

[@olebloom1641]

Your story telling is again poetry of the experience. Your willingness not to exploit every interaction on camera sets your channel apart. The narration of events is enough without being egregious. Like a book you paint a picture.

[@kjellcarlsson5639]

Merry Christmas to you and the boys, Maya, from all of us on Risö. Thank you for all your kind words and you are always welcome back. It was truly a wonderful evening. Every piece of the puzzle fell into place. The sauna is awaiting you.

[@robbywittlin1631]

Guys, I‘m really struggling finding words. Maya‘s description of finding new friends reminds me to our own travels in a time where KZbin was seen in SciFi - Movies and the Internet was just coming to life. This is so beautiful and I thank you both for this!

[@DaveBrandt96]

Sweetheart, you play the fiddle and the violin, and you do so most beautifully. I hope you have more of the duo between the gentleman and yourself, as I would love to see and hear it as. I am a great fan of Celtic music, being of Irish and Scottish ancestry. As to Aladino's comment about having no schedule to get someplace, I have long since retired, and as I will soon be eighty-four, my favorite comment is, "I'm retired, and I have no place to go and all day to get there." My wife has dementia, and she, as do I, absolutely looks forward so much to your Friday publications. Please, young lady, keep up the magnificent work.

[@lak1294]

That Celtic fiddle and guitar music at the end - WOW!! It took the episode to a whole new level. A truly magical end to a magical day. If you get a chance to sail around the Canadian Maritimes and Ireland, there could be epic music-making adventures ahead.

[@bowdezaufa2609]

That deer footage was awesome. Ive hunted and studied deer for years..sat many hours in a tree by myself. You picked a spot and made it happen. I enjoy hunting but like you said the adrenaline of even a deer im not looking to harvest coming in is something spectacular. An animal to be admired and respected. Stoked on your energy

[@vickychristopoulos8614]

Wild nature does that, putting us in awe and in a kind of elation!

[@nick.caffrey]

As an Irishman who remembers 'seisiúin' in pubs in Dublin in the seventies, I can completely empathise with the feeling of joy in sharing the experience of music. And, I can see in your face the complete understanding, at a visceral level, of the rarity and preciousness of what you have lived. May you both have lives filled with such intensity!

[@HansQuistorff]

Along the Salish Sea one will find ant mounds like the one on that island. They seldom get that large because the bears will tear then apart to eat the larva in the nursery in the heart of the coloney. So when you start exploring here, know that is a bear sign.

[@jenspetersimonsen4235]

Scandinavian summer is something else ;-)

[@raymondnybakk1311]

This is hands down, the best sailing and boat work channel. It look like it could have been produced by BBC. I really hope you take a trip along the Norwegian coast.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

This means so much to me - thank you so, so much!

[@merlin9244]

Loved your jamming session. ❤ … and your story telling.

[@1946aeeroncatipps]

Extravagantly beautiful. So delicate. Beautiful hearts have a special window through which they see beautiful things. Enormous thank you.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Hunting wildlife with a lens Now...is my preferred method! Macro and micro experiences are filled with wonders!

[@slisand]

Your story of music and how it brings stranger to friends. I also travelled with my guitar and sailboat for a few years now. Always the same as you say it. Music brings people closer together.

[@jupiteronkauai]

I smiled so hard my muscles hurt, so happy for you all…. I the way you express your journey not need have all the details for the eye…. The magic you all experiences is much fun when these happy rides happen….. just beautiful…made me smile…. Plus I use to love sail Sweden

[@nigelw.9043]

Great to see you using Beilken sails. I grew up in the town opposite to where they had their loft. The Beilken family in those days, was one of the "hot" assets in German offshore sailing being part of the team that won the Admirals Cup for Germany in 1985.

[@balp]

Took me ages to find the island, by Dyrön and Tjörn. Even if I did anchor like you just beside Skutholmen this summer. I was almost scared you found a magic place in my home water I didn't even hear about :D I think RAN Sailing did som anchor between the same island about two years ago, before they passed over the atlatic and sold the boat. Your ecitment makes me so happy, I want out and sail again... With less snow....

[@robm.4512]

A magical place, a magical story of discovery, people and music. All woven from the yarn of happiness. Thank you Maya, for sharing it so beautifully. Cheers. R. 😎👍🍻

[@clintbillton2161]

Spontaneous sauna, music, wine. Can it be more viking feast? Beautiful!

[@emilybradford8272]

I'm so enjoying watching your channel. I'm a few behind and catching up. This was a fabulous episode and you do such a great job with the narrative. It makes you feel like you are there as well. So enjoy each episode . My favorite channel by far. Safe travels

[@somadevo]

Wonder-Full.....Beyond the beyond's not far from this place. Beyond and right here become One with some Grace.

[@jesperwall839]

Those deer’s are fallow deer’s. We have a lot of them in Sweden. So many that the hunting of them is not regulated. You can hunt as many as you want during the season.

[@KavaKavana]

What a wonderful adventure. The music truly was magical

[@olumjumi]

First time viewer and enjoyed the artistry of your video, it follows a storyline and brought a simple viewer into your journey, building to a happy feeling, reminiscent of similar special moments in my own life. Thank you for sharing.

[@davebailey2584]

One of your best Maya... watch your videos faithfully, as we are now in the hard in Hamilton Canada......hope you are home for Christmas...

[@bobjones8864]

It is truly wonderful when you are open and friendly enough to engage strangers and enjoy their company. Wonderful video, thanks.

[@robertlindstrom540]

The weather here sometimes has a hard time deciding what to do... 🙂

[@johna.245]

Your excitement, joy and pure happiness comes thru so easily. Thank you Maya for taking us along. All the best.

[@susanw8471]

So very happy for you all! Spectacular video! Thank you for taking us along 🙂

[@kenpole1840]

Evokes memories, from B.C. now, of charter sailing in the North Channel of Lake Huron -- and of a brief visit to the Swedish archipelago many years ago. Many thanks for this series.

[@FubarKen]

As you are lucky for these moments, we are lucky that you share them with us. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@MrOj53]

Welcome to Magical Sweden

[@petersparkie]

Understanding your decision NOT to use the old teak decking, I was sad to see it go. However in this vid, "Magic Carpet" looks stunning with the cabin top timber shining in the sun. Although I am not a "wind" sailor I love your content. Stay well and happy.

[@MrJamesdCarter]

I really enjoyed this episode of your journey. It was beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@berntcarlberg6568]

I have been following your youtube Channel almost from the beginning I have sort of known that you would come to Sweden sooner or later. Therefore I wasn’t surprised when you sailed to imy hometown Gothenburg. It was also nice to see my homewaters. I even recognized the island where you spotted the feers. What really surprised me was the house where you had the sauna, I’ve spent several summers in that house when I was a teen back in the seventies!

[@normanrubenis7283]

What an incredible episode.... And such amazing musical talent. Thank you.

[@matthewmonroe5338]

What a terrific unexpected day and evening!!! Good for all of you! Just Magic. Glad you took the summer for these adventures!!!

[@defel1]

Magic! It's gratifying to see and hear your excitement. May you have many more special moments like this in your life.

[@janecme]

Ooo - classy sail away off the dock. I like it! Oh heavens - what an amazing time you've had

[@Tomm9y]

So pleased for you to experience all these things. The memories do last!

[@ABeriault]

Great show...great B-Roll as usual! Cheers Magic Carpet

[@chuckscheaffer3952]

had to comment when I heard and saw the violin being played. Now I'll return to the video. Very mysterious and ghostly and cool.

[@monikastuckey8737]

Awesome description and footage of a beautiful place and people. So happy you had such a great adventure.

[@mowhoknow5098]

Music the universal language! Loved seeing you jam with the heart and soul of the mood and moment. Stay safe stay cool and stay loving

[@TheErmerm999]

a wildlife lens is great, but having preset secure mounting plates on the rails changed my life. slipping into a glassy inlet with a capercaillie, a big rare Scottish turkey beautiful, strutting up the beach and having the camera stable mounted to the boat. so it could zoom so far perfect.

[@seafarizeilen]

what a great experience you all had. amazing music evening. so nice to meet nice people! thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@jurisvilde2151]

Thank you. Your story literally brought tears to my eyes. What a joyous event.

[@christ8173]

This episode was so beautiful. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you.

[@spindlespringsranch3108]

Your enthusiasm makes my heart sing and that music…it brought me such joy! Thank you Maya. ❤️

[@herberthahn6964]

This was absoutely beautiful. Reminded me of Yellowknife late summer. Your filming and stories are a treat. TKS

[@cnc75adventures49]

You really bring the beauty of this life I just love it👍👍

[@cruisingholiday4996]

One extra special moment in time!! Wonderful....

[@morganskonvall462]

Lovely to see and hear your enthusiasm during your stay at Risön. Look forward to next Friday!

[@waynerudiger1756]

I've been looking forward to this episode since you talked about it on Patreon. Did not disappoint. What a joyous, magical time for you and for us. I felt like I was there. Thank you!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Beautiful episode. I have had one or two similar days and evenings on my boat where so many random and unexpected things happen and you are left feeling so full of life. As you say it is rare but leaves such deep memories. Stay safe. Andy UK

[@davidnichols147]

The picturesque coast line of Sweden reminds me of my childhood dreams of Maine on my Uncles schooner Bald Eagle. Your so fortunate to sail the Swedish coast. Merry Christmas!

[@smokedoliver1]

I love your enthusiasm Maya🥰

[@kennethjohansson3785]

Oooh! Kärrsön I have spent many summers in the bay towards Tjörn. There I saw skeletons of deer and sheep. I dove the bay for mussels and spent many days fishing for small crabs (for fun). I really enjoy following you guys and re-experiencing my childhood summers! Thank you! 🤗 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@christiemccorkle8306]

Bravo, yet again! You're just such a great story teller! 😀

[@rusty1850]

Thank you Maya for expressing your joy in this video. You have a lovely way with words. You gave a gift of happiness to me.❤🦌

[@mitch6158]

Very very beautiful episode ! It's the first time I leave a comment but I've to say that it's a real pleasure to see you so happy Maya ! You and Aladino are so pure and your travel so nice and the job you have done on your boat(s) 😉 so perfect, the weeks are too long ! 👍👍

[@alaenke]

I am so happy for you!! This video was so beautiful and joyful!

[@fineartz99]

Gleeful sharing/ experience/ description... magical spontaneity !

[@WildlingSailing]

Damnn! your video and audio is soooooooooo good. next level.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

aww thanks guys!! been working on trying to up the quality a bit this winter :)

[@gus2747]

You captured the serendipity in an artful and almost magical way. This is a lovely video.

[@EZCheezyBeef]

As always , Amazing Jam! Totally brings it to another level. Truly the universal language.

[@jpg1789]

You guys have the vibe I love. So much respect for the others and for the present moment. It was a lovely episode. Honoring the name Magic of the boat. I am definitely missing those moments that the ocean can magically offer us.

[@SailingMarieholmIF]

Tears in my eyes again. I like the music and feal the atmosphere. Great!

[@fromParis2011]

Once again, a great great episode !! Thank you so much !!

[@shaneandnicolecollins5792]

Oh THANK YOU for sharing so beautifully and eloquently. We too will remember your fortuitous adventure on a magical Swedish island for a long time to come!! 🙏❤️⛵️

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Beautiful episode, thank you for sharing it all with us ⛵️👍🏻💥👏🏻🎄 And Merry Christmas to you all 🎄🥂🙏🏻

[@pinebearclub]

This is probably the best episode yet, literally had tears in my eyes from the poignant beauty of the moment. Thank you Maya for telling the story with such grace and beauty, only as a story like this demands… Bryan from Vancouver

[@AXISMEDIATV]

Simply Amazing- love the camera work and editing!!!

[@redouanehafidi9593]

Just beautiful, I love your channel!

[@teemutammi9139]

I think you just described the scandinavian summer evening perfectly. They are always spontaneus - without a plan - the magic, warm air and the ocean - when the warmth of the summer is finally there - after the cold, dark winter (apologies of all the commas etc...) we just do exactly this - what you experienced. I am so happy you felt it and experienced it. I just wish that you would visit Finland as well - you would surely see the similarity to Canada there. All the best, love your videos!

[@n.g.h.calmarena7013]

I recognized some small islets in your video that I haven't seen for 50 years. It's a long time since I sailed in those waters, and I'm so glad that you also experienced that feeling of marvel I felt when I sailed there for the first time. Thank you for the music, it gives the final dots over the i, but also over å, ä and ö!

[@hrcsourcingltd7858]

Your narration and the music are perfectly in synchronicity with your video. Absolutely amazing work! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@keebearfull]

A beautiful story. An Island that yields up her secrets. And people who were strangers bond through common experience of music and shared culture. Thank you! You brought me tears of joy.

[@abigailjacob4043]

OMG a spontaneous seisun is always the BEST! Wonderful music.

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Wow - Just wow.....that was an amazing video....Thank you!

[@koehl405]

Hi from Florida. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks and Be Safe.

[@tinavieira9012]

What a beautiful episode! Your description of the magic of the day and evening was so contagious I literally could feel the warmth of human connection it was like being there with you guys!...Thanks so much for sharing!😘❤

[@johnhamilton1791]

That was truly magic thanks for sharing your adventures !

[@eleanorchapple8772]

OMG this channel just gets better and better. I’m beginning to feel soo proud of you as if you were my own. From an old lady living in Canada

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Stunning video and beautiful story telling💕💕⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@mikefox1332]

You paint a beautiful picture of your experiences. I feel it, and it's wonderful! Thank you m'lady.

[@MikeSantis]

Wonderful video guys Thanks. Back in 2019, during my sailing trip from Denmark to Sweden, I happened to anchor by Krokholmen little island. Which is very near to where you were in this episode. I sailed passed by again this year but not stopping there I carried on further north. But I would like to stop over and do some more exploration of the islands around there hopefully next year. And how wonderful to meet people and even make music together. Back in 1993 while visiting Thailand, I missed my guitar. So I bought one down there. And it was amazing how many people I got to meet just showing up with a guitar in my hands. Music opens the world.

[@johndavidson6867]

A most beautiful video, Maya--just like you--, from watching 60+ sailing channels , I have to say, to me your videos and narration are second to none. To me your violin/fiddle play must leaves me wanting more. Take care, "Magic Carpet" crew, be safe and continue to enjoy life to the fullest.

[@garrickmartin7707]

That was very moving Maya. The music was magic, and you managed to convey to us just how special it all was. Thank you very much and very well done. I think I've told you before, that I used to play in a band and we played music very like that, and that you remind me very much of the woman who played fiddle with us. Nostalgia wells up. Cheers and thanks again.

[@shirleyboy8859]

These are the Magical Moments that Your Carpet was made to transport you to.......Your subtitles called it the "Fairy Dock" which is probably where the magic came from..... lol...... I have had Spontaneous days where the Memories will live in my Heart and Soul for ever...... Just a totally enchanting video Maya, one of many that will stay with me ...... :-)) xxx ps: when you mentioned "BC" it reminded of Tom Fleming c/o Fleming Yachts on YT, and his Stunning and Informative videos of the West Coast... Well worth a watch if you haven`t already.... :-)) xxx

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

This is great! Follow the coast of music and land, things like this will happen every now and then;)♡♡♡

[@richardboulanger3393]

I've been blessed with many shots on my 300mm f/4 Canon over the decades now. For anything I plan to shoot, I rent up to what I'm willing to carry, which is a faster lens or a bit longer. Lugging around 500mm is nuts imo (at my age) but 400 is versatile esp in a zoom. Good luck with your future shots!

[@TheBuddyandlilly]

You are "MAJESTIC " THANK YOU

[@merryfergie]

As a fellow traveler, I do appreciate your wildlife enthusiasm & the magic of encountering new friends, With a sauna & music!
