Beautiful ...Not too shabby !..

[@ingelukas5758]

I noticed you being our neighbor in Medemblik. Too bad I didn’t catch you on board. Now I know you were working on your new cushions, that turned out great! I have been watching your channel for a while, and now found my own boat on it. Hope to see you (again) sometime in Medemblik!

[@dontomalino8101]

thank you. I'm watching you play the violin from the book your patron gave you. it's so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. thanks again. 😊 🫂 🙏

[@richardmclaren8549]

So great to see MC1 back on the water 💦. She looks great. Fridge working now and a new bed. We need some music 🎶 now. Miss your playing. 🐟

[@mboyer68]

My goodness, that, boat, is, GORGEOUS. Incredible job you two. Congratulations:)

[@Fred-rv2tu]

[@rebekkad.2092]

So glad you are back where you belong - on the water. Enjoy.

[@kimhorton6109]

Wow, it’s been forever since I saw one of your vids. Glad you are afloat again. Wishing you fair winds and happy travels.

[@sailing.not.dreaming]

So nice to have new sheets and halyards

[@djopdam199]

Finally something Aladino isn't a master at...(kussens) Thank you universe. Boat looks great. Summer must have been a blast.

[@urlkrueger]

Hoo RAY! Yip EE! Back on the water again ..... (To the tune of Willy Nelson's "On the road again") At launch when Maya said "floating" I thought she said "FLOODING". Gotta get me some hearing enhancers. That is one beautiful boat. Makes me think it should be in a museum somewhere so it won't get scratched or corroded, but then that wouldn't be right.

[@pedrogodoy523]

Finalmente!!....Finally the boat is in the water!!!....Congratulations!!

[@charliehall2475]

how do you guys not age!!! great to see you back on the water sailing!

[@donaldlegate6377]

[@carriemoench3545]

Congratulations on launching your new boat! Really enjoyed your video and seeing how fabulous your project turned out! Enjoy the fruit of your labor as you've both worked extremely hard to achieve perfection! Beautiful new home! I see many new ports and adventures off the horizon awaiting exploration by Magic Carpet 2. God, bless and keep you in His care. Sending 🤗🤗 CarrieJo/North Carolina, 🇺🇸

[@guyst-laurent5167]

Congratulations! What a journey. Fair wind

[@dianegriffith3006]

Magic Carpet looks beautiful-Happy Sails.to you both. It is all worth it! 🛥

[@dianegriffith3006]

Okay it’s been months since I’ve followed you as at first I thought you were in WA but see you’re actually in the Netherlands where your original MC is. Great video.

[@colinjacob1702]

Oh the joy of being back on the water again, the comfort of a new bed beyond bliss then there is the Canadian flag fluttering in the breeze….seventh heaven. Am on holiday in the Greek island with the vagaries of broadband reception,just a pleasure to have a smattering of what you have just gone through. Nuf said

[@thomastaylor6991]

That has got to be a great feeling.

[@MidtownSkyport]

Loving the music this episode

[@ronpippin4893]

I know this is in the past but congrats on getting afloat and the beginning of a new summer of adventure!

[@kumbormontenegro3387]

GREAT VIDEO , AND CLASSIC MUSIC IS FANTASTIC !!!

[@erichaskell]

Tis a beautiful thing, your boat.

[@slf994]

Very very very cool. Nobody deserves this more than you

[@stevemc1790]

Looks NIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiìiiiiice!

[@marcmichaud9696]

Congrats from Montreal Canada

[@jhendric98]

This has been a fun process to watch. The greatest part is watching how your story telling has grown and how you two have grown as a couple. Such a great channel.

[@philmatoph]

that's one beatiful boat,

[@fpecher]

So nice, full of remebering for me doing about the same fifthy years ago, marvelous experience. Magic carpet is so beautifull.

[@musicbyfabien6263]

Congrats! I've been waiting for this moment and I wish you a lot of joy ! And the beautiful Air on G string in the background :-)

[@Firefly-dy5zc]

She sure is a beautiful boat!

[@ntorres9138]

Congratulations 🎊 👍🏾 Beautiful

[@williamwoolcock]

What a beautiful boat!

[@gbsbill]

yea. Loved it glad you are back on the water.

[@jjns3991624]

Great video! Enjoy the magic 🧜🏻‍♀

[@vincentdsnt]

beautiful Sailboat

[@flemmingkjellerup9780]

What a beautiful boat

[@sparkeyjones6261]

Jeez... anything with a finish that nice belongs in a museum, or on a grand piano. I'd be so afraid to do anything with it out on the water. lol

[@dennismcquoid9751]

Great narration!

[@curtishyde1842]

I will admit With No Holds Barred Magic Carpet is a very Majestic lady

[@kenknight4560]

The difference with this channel has always been the quality of the boat restoration. Never a bodge or slap some paint on and fix it later. It is done right to a very high standard the first time. When you add in the story telling and video skills Sailing Magic Carpet is the best channels of this type on KZbin.

[@EJChezz]

Enjoy the fruits of your labour.... us too 😊

[@zaneenaz4962]

The lighting in the v-birth must be tricky, but you did a good job. Safe sailing!!

[@hp8261]

What a beautiful boat ⛵ great job on the refit 🙂👍

[@barrybush9363]

Hi there you two I have just started watching and loved your story from the beginning and loving the story I am going to watch the whole story so keep living your dream. I name is Barry Bush all the way from Melbourne Australia

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Wohooo Welcome aboard! We will visit one day! ~Aladino

[@ricpoulin5603]

Love you guys! Congrats!

[@Vidar.m]

The boat looks awesome. Good luck 🙂

[@robertnorkus5582]

Awesome and blessed

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Magic Carpet is back in her element. I loved the journey. She is so beautiful. Your happiness is my happiness.

[@jimfox4145]

Great job Guys

[@Dr.TobiasFunke]

This made me so happy. Actually smiling, and I haven't even watched past the titles yet. Thank you!

[@leejentaylor6195]

congratulations

[@RickMentore]

Incredible! Happy for @Sailing Magic Carpet! 133K subscribers

[@benjaminspencer6507]

Upholstery is a dying art. It all is assembly line here in America. I was lucky to spend about 5 years learning from a master upholsterer!! I am now retired at 70. Wished I had someone to pass on the knowledge and skill of my pass 40 years of work!!

[@anitaskarsb1490]

..this is not a boat. This is a jewel with sails on 🥰 Absolut magic

[@beatseed8278]

beautiful, i am very happy for you

[@svgreatescapes]

Alidinos Craftsmanship is truly amazing and an inspiration. Will you be at the Annapolis show?

[@brucemacsr.6776]

lovely background music.

[@MicBruise]

Congratulations on finally being back aboard. There's just nothing like that moment when one turns off the engine and just ... sails...

[@janiscommentz7732]

So happy to see you back on your boat!🥰. Our favorite harbor, Dana Point, CA is being torn apart. Alas!

[@hunterchannelporchpress7701]

Nice really nice work

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

What a wonderful video! Magic Carpet in the water, your fabulous friends, spectacular food, a working fridge, cushy cushions in the V-berth--all made for a simply joyful video. Thank you so much!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@gerrit555]

Nice to see you sailing again. But where is the fiddle? Have a good time!

[@danfadden]

As always, beautifully shot and edited. Especially the choice of music on this one. Maya has a special eye and ear that cannot be matched with any other KZbin sailing channel . Thank you for this tiny peek into your lifestyle. Two beautiful people on a beautiful adventure known as life.

[@gregvaughn4286]

congrats!

[@PatrickPoet]

Oh, she looks so beautiful in the water. This must be so wonderful, not only are you back home, but your last experiences were during plague restrictions so this is the first return to gentility in forever.

[@tinacatharinaeden2711]

I am so happy to see you both back in the water with MC 1. You both worked so hard and diligently on both Magic Carpets! Enjoy your journey and thank you for sharing it with us all. You are a beautiful couple, inside and out. The happiness when Aladino turned off the engine and the wind in sails took over moving the boat. I love that feeling. It was also great to video of my country of birth and the wonderful people, especially on the water. Much Love!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@maartentoors]

HUUB (or Huib and his wife) should be the actual Dutch Ambassadors to the the world. When you're leaving Medemblik please visit Enkhuizen (about 70NM by the coastline)! It has a GREAT 'Zuiderzee' museum!

[@АлексейВолков-й6п5ъ]

My boat is in marina just next to this museum but I've never been there. Thanks for advice!

[@maartentoors]

@@АлексейВолков-й6п5ъ "Compagnieshaven Enkhuizen"? Nice! If you're planning to visit Amsterdam, hit me up, free guide 😉

[@myhillslife27]

I love Magic Carpet l

[@californiakayaker]

Well, I have to confess, I didn't watch all the refit episodes. Surprised to see a tiller ! She's absolutely beautiful. The view at 10:30 shows how unusual the design is with the amazing high bow ! I had no clue she would look like that. Beautiful work with the wood. I cannot wait for the music to begin to be performed again !

[@rickstevens1479]

A good fridge a good bed and alls right ...

[@wollm1325]

I never realized you guys were actually in the Netherlands. Been watching your channel for so long and all the time thought you were in the usa.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

We were in the usa when refitting the other boat :)

[@joanneholliday6339]

I loved this episode! I found you when you were traveling thru the canals in Europe and have been a loyal watcher ever since! I am 68 years old and have never, ever been on a sailboat and I doubt I ever will. So I live that fantasy travel life thru you Maya and Aldino. Can I just say I got a little teary eyed when your friend was waving goodbye as you set off on your summer of sailing! I can’t wait to see what adventures to bring to us in the future!

[@АлексейВолков-й6п5ъ]

I noticed many times that average age of people sailing in Netherlands is 50+. I saw 70 years old people sailing single handed. There is no reason why you shouldn't try it.

[@charles11ification]

I'm going to make that delicious meal!

[@martinlittlewood2188]

Thank you so much for sharing the launching of Magic Carpet. I always remember the thrill of a launch of a boat after a winter layup or a refit. A boat out of water always seems asleep or perhaps hibernating. So launching is an awakening into its natural environment and the joy of being alive, which I always shared. Great to see Magic Carpet back in the water again, and looking so beautiful, thanks to your loving attention. Looking forward to sharing your enjoyment of sailing again.

[@billywhizz6483]

Hube and Ena (no doubt spelt that wrong) seem two warm and beautiful people to have looked out for you like that. The boating community is the best!

[@charliegardner6804]

Totally agree 👍

[@danevann1]

She looks beautiful

[@waynerudiger1756]

It was so wonderful to see her come out of the shed into the light. Even more so to see her in full sail. As always a lovely, uplifting video. The variety and"fit" of the music males your videos stand well above anything else I watch on KZbin. The music just makes the excellent cinematography and storytelling pop.

[@AnnInghamlife-goals]

Sailing!!! At last!!! Beautiful calming wonderful!

[@SeaYaSailing]

Finally......congrats on the splash...and she is a beautiful boat. She will give you many decades of pleasure

[@10lauset]

Cheers to you. ...

[@bertoverweel6588]

She really looks great guys !

[@davidleckenby547]

Oh wow. So good to see you two back in the water and excited about sailing again. You just look sooo happy 😊😊

[@jamesthornberry7048]

Magic Carpet is beautiful! The attention to detail you have put into her is above and beyond admirable. If anyone has any doubts that Aladino is a true wizard with a brush they merely have to look at that cabin. Congratulations and best wishes for a wonderful summer.

[@peggyl]

She is beautiful 🤩!

[@jeroen81]

That beep and the engine starting always was the start of great sailing weekends with my dad, brother and son. It made me instantly tear up. My dad passed away last year and my mother had to sell the boat. Enjoy this as much as you can guys! Soak up every moment. I hope to set sail somewhere in the near future again. This was a fun series to watch, with the little trips in my beloved little country.

[@vrangarajan605]

The moment of stopping the engine followed by only the sound of the boat in the water !! WOW !! The boat looks great !!

[@williammcknight4274]

Aah! The ability to make a meal in your own home! Much more than satisfying.

[@whitneylake2107]

That varnish still looks like the mahogany was dipped in honey ! Safe journeys et bon voyage !!
