I was talking to my sweetheart’s dad the other day and he said “What are you watching on TV these days?”. I said “Nothing. There’s enough good stuff on KZbin these days that I no longer watch traditional TV shows.” Your channel is easily one of my favorite channels. Beautiful song at the end and keep up the great work.

[@heiner71]

Same. I disconnected TV over 5 years ago and entirely replaced it with KZbin. Not feeling like I am missing out on anything. The shows I liked on TV were somehow always canned after a season or two anyway.

[@galerae947]

Ditto, haven't had a TV in 3 years and do not miss it.

[@los4inspace378]

Me also since 5 years... :)

[@nasseemmuttur778]

Oh god, I thought only in my country Mauritius people stopped wstching tv.

[@grancitodos7318]

The photo shop and matching Maya playing the song superimposed , is really well done.

[@popeye747]

Hi Maya, The waltz brought tears. That was beautiful. All the best to you both.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Ditto. I'm pretty certain that they were one Maya created in post to two Maya's and that Maya's twin is not Lia .kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKDLhWqshquWr8k

[@johnshoureas1629]

Thank you for adding your beautiful violin music to the videos. I hope it will be part of all the videos to come.

[@49Mack]

Looking better and better every time, Maya and Aladino!! Thanks for taking us with you on your journeys!! They are truly appreciated!!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much!! So glad you're enjoying the videos, we're so grateful to you for watching them!

[@peterengel7885]

The violin song touched a strong emotion. Both beautiful and nostalgic. After 42 years, Carol my love I miss you........

[@johnfritz7497]

Maya is so very musical. So talented. I loved every note of your duet with yourself. Beautiful.

[@samaipata4756]

Live requires low points to be able to grow upwards to the sky, you are well on your way, Maya! Things become more and more beautiful with your boat, your music and your life! Aladino and you are achievers of a very special kind and will be rewarded with great success and a live you always can look back to with pride! 🤗👍✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇭💞👏👏👏👏

[@johncassels3475]

I hope your "centering" beach said firmly that you two are nothing short of amazing but I think I understand a little of the roller-coaster of feelings. Thanks for sharing from deep down.

[@guydriver]

That really is a super great beach. You still need to say hello to Clamzilla at the fisheries department at Point Hudson.

[@kevinmcneill468]

The Wedding Gift Waltz made me cry, we played that as the father-daughter dance at my daughter's wedding, thank you, memories came flooding back.

[@waynerudiger1756]

I understand how it can be difficult to stay motivated when the balsa repair goes on and on. With your time crunch it must be tough to be spending so much time on this remedial work rather than building her back out to your vision. That said, each week you impress so much with what you have accomplished. The performance was so lovely. Even though the song is about a wedding I could feel some of the melancholy you were feeling this week come through. Such a perfect way to end the episode.

[@davidwilson9247]

Your boat when finished it will more beautiful and stronger than when new. Great work. My wife fiberglassed the deck of our 30 footer 50 years ago and she could do it again. Alidino, you have chosen the same wonderful lady as your life’s partner. Best wishes going forward. Cordially OleDave🙏

[@dwel2928]

Wow Maya! You've mixed painting & fiberglassing with your seriously good violin music seamlessly. Your videos have become art. Just lovely! They were always interesting, but we really look forward to them now. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[@larryfarmer7053]

I completely understand the the ups and downs of large projects. I make a point of pausing to look back and realize how far you have come. It never fails to encourage me. As you mentioned, you have the added benefit of your videos to document the progress. The boat is really looking fabulous.

[@michaelfunk5951]

Your team work is impeccable. It's a total joy to see you both putting your best efforts into the refinishing. Yes, it's tedious but your patience is key to getting it looking so marvelous and most importantly, it's seriously water tight and good for many years to come. I love seeing workmanship like y'all are doing. The gratification must be thrilling as you see things coming to a close with such eye popping finishes . Yall truly got it together.

[@TW-AZ]

I feel compelled to mention that your playing is an excellent addition to the series. I don't really read comments but ignore anyone who says to cut it.

[@treehuggingmusician595]

You accomplished a lot in one week. Magic Carpet II is going to be a work of art as well as a functional sailing vessel. The music at the end was beautiful and peaceful. The fiddle music was greatly enhanced with the sound of the water coming ashore.

[@spinnaker5514]

Just loved the ending when you were playing the violin beside yourself. Normally I'm not really into violin music, but that was just so beautiful who could resist? I listened to it about twenty time now and it just keeps getting better and better....so peaceful. I wish you would consider putting together a cd of quiet, introspective music that like this could be played in the background soothing me through my work day. Thanks so much for your beautiful playing!

[@joepence1934]

Just wanted to say thank you for that beautiful 'duet' at the end of the segment. Truly lovely! Skip

[@shelleyrichards9028]

Loved the "duet" at the end. Beautiful.

[@grahamhunter9565]

I think it's the slow and measured competence that most impresses me. The working with the materials. The safety considerations with masks, goggles and foot wear. The scrupulous cleanliness. I can't wait to see how you do the wiring, set up the navigational electronics, local area wifi network or entertainment systems let alone the house keeping systems of galley, head and heating.

[@hampelrutledge4624]

I really like the opening sequence showing Orion moving across the sky. Good filmography.

[@sailingvivace]

Motivation is a traitor. It leaves you when you need it most. Perseverance is a winner. Keep on. We are here for your support.

[@henrykaspereit7490]

What a wonderful episode! Great job, Maya! The craftwork in behind is outstanding of course. The situation of work, suffer and joy put in wonderful pictures, music….everything…..thank you..and I’m just happy to made the steering gear box of our boat to work again. No comparison to what your projects are. Press on!

[@darrylhedges1372]

I can’t wait to see what you’re going to have to tackle at the stern of the boat in terms of mechanical and electrical systems, the engine, steering, navigation controls and instruments, etc… I’m sure you’ll be as meticulous and perfect as you have been to date with everything else. You are truly an inspiration and an example of how to do things the right way and not try to scrimp by like so many on other KZbin channels tend to do! Great job!

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very pleasing video.. Magic Carpet II will be a jewel of a boat once finished. She will be standing out as an example for how to refit a boat with TLC. Indeed there should be no excuse to take a well deserved break. Dave Panting's "The Wedding Gift Waltz" performance illustrated this very well... Keep up the good work..

[@mjvaquatics2626]

So much work....but then it will be your beautiful 'floating dream home' for years to come. As much as I enjoy watching the build, I look forward to the watery adventure. KUDOs on your efforts!

[@gregoryward93]

What a fabulous stage/backdrop for the violin duet! And the sound of the waves breaking added to the experience. You two are amazing! Thank you for this channel.

[@donaldhibbard3248]

Thank you for the twin violins. Once you are on the ocean again, this hardship will eventually fade away. All the best.

[@freyjasail]

What a nice way to finish a episode with the wedding gift waltz. Thank you

[@michaeltaylor520]

The beautiful music at the end of each show is delightful and a perfect close. The boat is coming together nicely. Well done to both of you.

[@JasonHampel]

I love watching Orion float by in the night sky during your intro. The music continues to please as well! :) Also thinking about your "inch by inch" comment and how it doesn't feel very satisfactory as far as accomplishments go... I think once all those inches complete at the same time, you'll have a dramatic completion goal where everything comes together at once.... so there's that to look forward to! Definitely enjoying following your progress. :)

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much Jason! So glad you like the night sky timelapse too. That was lots of fun to make!

[@denp54z]

In one earlier intro there is a UFO in the starfield ! Did anyone else see it ?

[@steveraleigh100]

You certainly are getting along regardless of the small steps you are taking. I love listening to your music and your editing skills are amazing - or you have an equally talented twin sister.

[@svdreamcatcher]

When you said we might as well go ahead and put the fiberglass in the head, I felt that. I have a million projects going on with my boat also so I can relate. Good stuff you guys, keep it up!!! ⛵🥰💯

[@dobie2times]

You may have made a small mistake painting but more than made up for it with your impeccable violin music! Music to sooth an old warriors soul🥰

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

Omygosh! The boat is absolutely amazing. The both of you have done an absolutely wonderful job. I’m so excited to see it finished. Also, I love your music. I literally could listen to it all day. PeaceAndLove Lori

[@Tomm9y]

You are making great progress, the evidence is there in the video. With multi stage processes, the results take time to build step by step. Many of the areas you are working on are in the reconstructing phase. The deck is 85% there, after all the dismantling, decision making, sourcing timber for the deck beams, plywood selection and careful preparation. Replacing the balsa and relining the interior is well underway. The acheivements will be even more apparent at the end of the remaing weeks of this stint in USA.

[@ashley-tm1uk]

You guys are amazing to watch …what’s more amazing is to wonder how you do all of this , and produce such a beautiful video of it all…excellence in all areas!…thanks for the crescendo and ending gift!…

[@laureljackson8978]

So much accomplished! As always, your stories are wonderful and we look forward to Friday's to watch your beautiful craftsmanship in both the boat & your video. Lovely lovely bonus to enjoy Maya's gift of music!

[@SailingJohanna]

Wonderful episode! Love that you shared your centering beach time with us… so important to take the time to breath, reset, clear your energy. While we certainly know and understand how hard you guys work, we as viewers get caught up seeing projects take “5 minutes” on KZbin! Ride the ebbs and flows, we enjoy you sharing your journey! ♥️✌🏼⛵️

[@brentbauer8258]

From someone who loves boats and the water I can feel your anticipation and exhaustion. So close and yet so far. What a beautiful job. Many blessings to the family who opened their garage and what is a wonderful memory you both have recorded!

[@robm.4512]

Maya, your comments struck home so true that it gave me pause to be honest and take stock about what I’ve got stalled on and ended up avoiding over the last couple of years for the same reasons, the inevitable ebb and flow of enthusiasm during a long project. Progress seems to almost cease because you hit pinch points when a number of small but necessary jobs need to be completed before the next big milestone can be achieved. It can be so easy to succumb, thereby achieving nothing. OK, I’m guilty, thank you very much indeed for the timely reminder and for the doubtless unintended kick up the jacksie too. If you guys can do it, I can get my head down and drive on as well. I’m either going to borrow a dinghy or buy a cheapie and get back out on the water, maybe beach up for a lunchtime break, lay a fire and cook some fish up and head back before dark? That’s my plan anyway and I’m going to make it a regular thing if at all possible. I think it’s actually necessary to do it when you’re otherwise effectively working 7 days a week. Time to breathe. Thank you also for the waltz, it was a truly beautiful arrangement and the video production superb. Keep on keeping on, you’re both achieving loads more than most. Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻

[@RBMawby]

Nice. Both the "make haste slowly" work and the (his and hers) wedding gift duet. Bravo.

[@oldshad65]

Love that tune and your pro playing Maya. A real treat!

[@pisom4314]

its coming around nicely!!! it seems like you reach a point of alot of work going on & it seems like not much progress then BAM it happens all at once when all the little stuff comes together!!! thanks for sharing with us & also the fiddle playin at the end very nice addition!!!

[@travailer594]

With so many suffering from digestive issues Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber. Thanks for the vid.

[@robertnixon3816]

Truly one of the very best channels out there! Growing up with my boatbuilder dad who was a perfectionist at all he did gives me a special appreciation for not only what your doing but how your doing it too. You both are amazing and your Cape George is going to be better than new. Cecil Lange would be proud! And the music....oh my!

[@mareegodleman1347]

We watch your latest episode together, over breakfast, every Saturday morning.....it's an inspring way to start the weekend. We are patiently & excitedly waiting for the jigsaw pieces to all come together......won't that be cause for celebration! Bubbles with our breakfast that morning! 🥂🍾😊

[@marcryvon]

Hang in there, talented young ones. It is normal to be out of breath on one long term project. You are doing TWO of them at the same time ! Who woiuld not feel overwhelmed at times ? Plus, your passion is sailing, right ? Not building boats but for their purpose ! If this can be of any comfort to your hearts, you are doing an awesome, so dedicated job to the most minute detail. It's in your genes. "Good enough" is not ! Cheers ! Marc from Varennes, Québec PS I'm working on my own old but much smaller boat, refitting it completely. Been at it for the last 2 years. I should splash it this late June. Cannot wait !

[@stevebeninato953]

I look foward to each video you put out, to watch the progress and to see how you solve the problems you face each week. With that said, Maya, you are an amazing musician. You brought a tear joy. You two are a strong, well balanced, amazing team. Looking foward to you next video. Good job.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

So kind of you, thanks for being here and leaving a comment Steve!

[@geoffreymurphy896]

Music lifts the heart an spirit another great music interlude Keep on plugging away you two it’s looking amazing dig deep it’s a labour of love 😍👍🤣

[@defel1]

Your boat restoration is the most meticulous I've seen on any sailing channel., So, while meticulous can be tedious, your ability to think about future satisfaction is commendable. Thank you for sharing your downs and ups. Your efforts are worthy of great admiration.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much David

[@denp54z]

I agree

[@clayfarnet970]

She’s looking glassy…I mean classy. Your talents and meticulous attention to detail is paying off. Great work. 👍👍

[@joefrawley5295]

Hard work and dedication pays dividends so stay the course. If I may quote from a famous musician "forget about your past and all your sorrows The future wont last it will soon be your tomorrow." Make it a bright one! 😎

[@antoniollamusi]

Almost a year with MC2 !!! I dont miss an episode! Keep working hard! You’ll be soon sailing! my best! 😘

[@timvukman4734]

I want to thank you for another honest video about putting in the effort to make your dreams come true. I respect you for your honesty, your skills and your willingness to share your journey with all of us. I am truly inspired by you and grateful

[@VAdu56]

Congratulations for all this work, yes indeed we realize this enormous work of sanding, varnishing, installation of the glass wool, it represents a lot, you have worked damn hard...!! the cold doesn't help either. the beautiful days are coming, courage, good to you from our France (Bretagne , where the large trimarans and racing yachts are manufactured, (Vannes) ) where the weather is nice it's spring...!! vincent

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Beautiful waltz . I have said before I adore the tone of that skinny violin

[@36933693]

Your fiberglass work is outstanding!

[@richardsiddon610]

Good work guys! Must say that the counter that the lapping water provided to that beautiful waltz was particularly moving though. Thankyou.

[@ronpyke8377]

It's funny, just as you expressed your frustrations, I had been thinking that things were moving faster now. More satisfying jobs getting crossed off the list. I can feel how you were feeling in your song though. Your soul is always there and it is always beautiful. … Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in… --L. Cohen

[@terrylawrence4121]

Slow progress is progress. Scattered progress is progress. You're getting there!

[@williammyers6766]

I love watching you work on your projects. You are so meticulous. Many have told me I'm a perfectionist. This can be a curse, as you may well know, but I ask everyone, "where would our astronauts be if folks working with them were not perfectionist." Keep up the good work, pray a lot and smile.

[@TheDukecalvin]

Again, your choice of music is exellent! Your narration, the pace of the cuts and colourgrading just works! Congratulations!

[@jeremyyork3538]

Your boat refit is a metaphor for life and you're doing just fine!

[@rodneyroundtree9581]

The Best video Production I've ever watched here on KZbin... I can watch hours of your videos!!! Job Well Done. Soon I will become a Patron if you keep making episodes Like this one... Hooray To you!!!

[@BillChild2njoy]

You're both doing wonderful.. love the aside by the water and all the thoughts there be...and a final serenade how fine. Thanks

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Wow....we are impressed with you two! Keep up the great work. Boat building is exhausting but kinda fun too in a weird way.

[@Machewching]

Aloha from Hawaii! I have a Baba 30 and I am redoing the teak decks and painting. Your channel is an inspiration and motivates me to keep going even when the workload seems neverending! Keep up the good work! Hana Hou!

[@michaelwilliams8781]

I’ve felt quite awful as a result of inhaling paint fumes inside a boat; it’s really essential to set up a through draft with fan assistance when you’re covering such large areas. Face masks don’t always have good enough filtration to eliminate paint fumes.

[@TraneFrancks]

"We need a big moment." -- That's a tall ask in a big project. Keep breathing and taking those ever-important moments to re-centre.

[@emilecousineau2195]

Wow, wow, no words to describe the progress you guys have made. Just beautiful and so much hard minuscule work....not like painting a wall in a room. That boat is going to be a "gem" by the time you finish. Hard works pay off. Even in the best of times there are some emotional waves, only normal. Just thinking of being on beautiful blue waters enjoying your gem.Congratulations on all your work and efforts. As the song goes... "you are the champions my friends"...see you next video.👏👏👏❤🥇

[@MrPcairns]

I thank you for your musical gift you are sharing. I enjoyed the song and the entire performance ... You are special.

[@miguelpaixao1317]

Being human, is what we are. So life is made of frequencies, other wise it would be or not. Thank you very much for day after day of your trully nice project!!

[@brentclarke1841]

I could watch 40 or 50 minutes of your videos easy,, your violin add a feeling of floating along,, while the refit process flows on.. I say remember there's mainly two working and every step takes time.. Stay the course your rewards are coming.... looking forward to sunsets in the South Pacific 👍⛵👍

[@terryble2023]

This boat is going to turn out very classy and elegant. What impressive lines.

[@johnrichard6802]

So satisfying to watch two highly talented people. The duet was perfect with the lapping water in the background.

[@MikeC19100]

Once again you both show your amazing work ethics in getting a LOT of work done for this video. It is so rewarding to see the progress you make even if it may not feel that way to you both. Even doing things like the sanding or prep work is indicative of a huge task completed to many of us who have worked with our hands on various projects. It is so cool to see you get the final varnish onto the deck/ceiling panels and to see them ready for installation. They really look amazing and of the highest quality for any project I’ve watched so far. Major kudo’s to you both for what you have accomplished on both of your boats.

[@johnravensbergen3324]

Loved the sound track a the way through but especially the beautiful violin piece at the end.

[@EricSmith-lf6cz]

You can say it's just a lens cap, but I think it is hilarious to imagine you have a big lip full of Skol! Another wonderful video. Thanks

[@Lannie1948]

Really enjoyed the music at the end with the sound of the water lapping on the shore! Your progress is amazing especially given how exacting you both are.

[@carlesinseattle7660]

Sometimes I think Alendino is at his best whilst boat-restoring! Thank you for beach view. It is so comforting to me.

[@orrinsmith1870]

Loved the episode. My favorite part was the violin at the end!

[@juliesimpson3729]

You two do amazing work and videography as I’ve always said! Thank you Maya for gifting us with more of talent! You music gives me chills and smiles!

[@philgray1023]

Another top quality video production with a great musical finish. You should try that video technique on the boat so you would complete twice as much work in a given time.

[@alofns]

Thanks for the video. Great progress! Oh, and thanks for the Rawlings Cross tune...east coast tunes on the west coast...nice!

[@ianmckenzie5303]

Maya, what a beautiful piece of music, I didn't want it to end. It took me away just for a little while. Thank you❤

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much Ian!

[@wynnehonsinger5217]

One of my favorite episodes. Very real and emotional, concluded with beautiful music.

[@DennisSattler]

Nice music arrangement with the waves included. Thanks.

[@jasonholmes6137]

You two are doing fantastic the attention to detail and the knowledge and research is amazing seeing both your vessels come together in your own time is best entertainment i could ask for

[@maikelcrompvoets524]

Maya, you’re the essence of everyones dreamgirl; intelligence; talent, and beauty. Don’t change a bit.

[@nick.caffrey]

Seconded.

[@billieharland5903]

Love your music, it sends me back to Rhode Island and my Grandfather. Please Play On

[@Kevin15301]

Great work accomplished by great people who also give us great music I would say all in all a great episode. Thanks

[@gus2747]

You are an ace at editing! And violin playing,

[@joeldumas5861]

9:45 Excellent choice of Aladino's shirt. It perfectly matches the fairing color under the fiberglass texture.

[@johnhall4146]

Beautiful vlog. Without valleys there would be no mountains. Love watching you guys climbing up yours. ❤️

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thanks so much for the comment John!

[@ElRob-5885]

What a progress MC2 made. Great work, Maya and Aladino. Btw, there are no Fridays without Magic Carpet. Thank you so much for making this happen.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Aw thank you Robby!

[@Gladtobemom]

As always, beautifully done. The waltz was wonderful.

[@1natehill]

Your music is like the icing on the cake. Thank you!

[@erictakakjian6021]

Your boat is looking really great! Hang in there and things will really start coming together fast. I was where you are now a while back with a Bristol 40 that I stripped to a bare hull and am just now finishing. Hope to be in the water in July. Enjoy the process while your at it. Love your videos.

[@koosslootweg8500]

In one week this is all done. And you call it small steps! It looked like a month to me! Great, thanks.
