If your goal in showing these videos is to make your viewers happy... Well Congratulations, I have a smile as wide as the Cheshire Cat :-))) xx

[@nuran7970]

That's what good education does: it helps young people to become the master of their lives instead of being a slave to somebody. You set sail and discover new avenues for your life. Bravo!

[@hectorrios5402]

I have enjoyed your video’s so much!!! I too have to say thank you to your patreons🥳🥳🍾🥂👍🏽🤟🏾

[@helmuthuneke1775]

wow what a beautiful poem and sound of music

[@sonnybrooks264]

You are a great wordsmith and have a sweet, soft tone to your voice.

[@OmarSher]

Its very nice to watch and listen. Enjoyed every bit of it.

[@adss70]

Great drone and boat sailing footage. I also really like your editing/commentary style. Bravi!!

[@angeloattard9748]

You are an artist, with music and rhyme. At first I didn't notice, it took me some time.

[@SVImpavidus]

Hi guys. We are anchored on the island of Ponza watching you video from our wifi. Another stunning video that struck a point with us as there is no wind for the next 4 days to get to the mainland and our winter berth. But hey, it's lovely here. Tranquil, good sunlight for the solar and lots of beach walks for the pooches. Why hurry? The poetry in the description is very good. Sail safe. Ant, Cid and the . pooch crew xx.

[@stanmoderate4460]

I sailed and raced a lot in Asia where there can be very little wind, while it is frustrating at times, it also hones your sailing skills! So much love and joie de vivre expressed between the two of you, it's so uplifting to watch your adventures each week.

[@jwaters5248]

love the poetry

[@goofyiest]

great little poem there!

[@yaa63]

Lovely narration as usual...with a touch of humor, music and even some poetry...just lovely

[@mowhoknow5098]

[@callumduncan6728]

[@larskronqvist9170]

Patience is a good gift when sailing with no wind. I like it!

[@larskronqvist9170]

Love your poems!

[@sailingavocet]

Its all a patience game.

[@klouism1]

Love your videos. Love your violin playing. That piece you played was my Mother's very favorite. Wishing you safe travels.

[@jb9090]

Great episode, nice slow sail was very peaceful

[@jillysilly2265]

Aladino, con i capelli così lunghi sei un Adone 😊❤

[@carolinemcdougall8708]

[@RoryL83]

La vie en rose!! Gorgeous fiddle play Maya!

[@goofyiest]

[@ciaobella8963]

Aladino, you are a born sailor with that wonderful Italian attitude towards life's unexpected. Very enjoyable video.

[@manuelstarr3602]

Maya..a lovely peaceful creative human soul being ferried across the tranquil sea by the knowledge and protection from Dino.

[@lecaton5973]

You are a talented poet!! SV Brooklyn

[@mosca3289]

You guys are wonderful.

[@yellowshazi2188]

Love your little poem 😊

[@Itsp3rsonal]

Remember the calms when the Gales are beating you hard. You 2 Are amazing thank you for Sharing.

[@johnnyp628]

I have to say, you guys do go to some beautiful places. It must be awesome to wake up in a bay off some island you can just go and explore at your own leisure. You guys truly have the life.

[@sailingavocet]

beautiful. Cheers from the Channel Islands

[@andrewmelville4573]

Really incredible videos guys. Still slowly working my way through them be gutted when there’s none left. For sure il be sponsoring you soon. Look forward to more

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Andrew, thank you SO much, I can’t believe you’ve been watching start to finish, that’s amazing!! Thank you so much for writing to let us know ☺️ -Maya

[@keeldragger]

Lovely violin playing. Also, nice sailing. Light wind days are tough.

[@brieneaton8578]

That was beauty guys. Really nice.

[@dlswede3912]

Great video, great music, great poems, great people!

[@davidsanders4826]

You play beautifully maya. You are la vie en rose my dear x

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Your violin and poetry are just beautiful

[@pmnfernando]

im gratefull you had no wind and played

[@carlobottigelli8955]

Lovely music, perfect for a wonderful sunset! Dolphins like to jump out vertically in the air to listen to the music! It happened to me off Corfu town on Easter morning while Bach music was being played from loudspeakers ashore. Enjoy the Aeolians !!

[@tomas5376]

Maya you are a wonderful wordsmith! I can see books coming someday! Loved your poem!👍✌️😊🙏🏼

[@joebluni8502]

You guys are living the dream!!! Bravo!!!

[@andypennybrown6848]

Wonderful! Thank you! (sv calico jack)

[@PeterGrimes59]

G8t video as per usual. Feel your pain as I recall doing 1.8kts going backwards in a social race last summer. We too are now full-time cruisers and enjoying our time in the beautiful Whitsundays in sunny Queensland, Australia atm :)

[@diannetell6757]

Je vois la vie en rose. That was a very nice version by lovely Maia. Bon voyage et bon vent.

[@MrKubaitis]

We just visited Lipari. I really recomend for you to visit Lipri Island. Old sity and your music would be a miracle.

[@TheNextLevelUp1]

Love you guys!

[@richardnwilson]

Aladino I thought you would know that there is always always wind on the horizon! It is just nearly impossible to get to the horizon since it keeps moving on you! Haha! Another great video thank you so much!

[@LoserDonaldC]

The doldrums can be a good thing.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

Maya, I really enjoyed the peace you played on the violin. Was it Maria Elania??

[@FranFerioli]

Those island are really steep. It is really a challenge to drop an ancor there.

[@nickmolonlabe5780]

It must be nice to not worry about time.

[@sailingaeolus]

Nice title.

[@ourv9603]

GUYS, RE : NO WIND... In 1579 the great Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan set sail for the west coast of the Americas. When they got to the horse latitudes all wind stopped. None. Zip.Nada. For 20 days the ship was adrift under a blazing hot sun. There was no relief for the crew. Topside was roasting under a blistering hot sun & below decks it was sweltering hot. Only at night was there any relief to be had. As the days dragged on the freshwater began to run low. The ship had some livestock aboard. Chickens, pigs, cows to feed the crew, but they also brought along some horses for exploring ashore. To ration their meager water supplies, all animals were thrown overboard. On the 21st day, the wind returned. Slight at first but grew stronger as the days passed. !

[@faircompetition1203]

light air sailing takes lots of concentration and skill . anyone can make a boat go in 20kt . many a race is won by the guy that can sail in the light stuff.

[@SamuelKTennis]

"... 32 but she is only 28 feet tall" obviously the fall was harder than we thought! ;-) Makes me chuckle every time. Sorry my dear Magic Carpet, the humans cannot help but to explain, insensitive as it may seem. Does anyone else sense a very brief refrain, merely a few notes I think but I am NO musician, of the "Gilligan's Island" "a 30 minute trip" theme during the intro music? Thank you for the tell tale info! Sir, your sailing skills do appear, to me, to be improving! OK, I will shut up now, since exactly nothing changed... But good lesson nonetheless.

[@zzarkS]

You must play the song of storms! That will get the wind going!

[@TroyaE117]

Sometimes it is good to use a little fuel and allow the motor to make some progress. Those sails are flogging, and they detest it. In my boat, the cost of a mainsail is half the cost of a motor, complete. Let the motor cope and save the sails for another day.

[@MrRourk]

You folks should get a Yuloh Oar.

[@bobbates6642]

Does the sea air mess with your fiddle ? I mean does the moisture cause the wood to warp or anything like that ?

[@chuckleber3484]

Are you using Navionics?

[@gary5831]

Depending on which way up need to go. Play a tune for the gods of wind. Boreas , Notus , Zephyrus or Eurus.

[@markgreenmoore]

Beautiful violin playing, what is the name of the song?

[@nixl3518]

Funny how you get no wind on your way to the Aeolian, AKA windy, islands!

[@goofyiest]

does the humidity of being on the ocean affect your violin? And if so how?

What was the Pasta dish? Garlic, oil and chili flakes? Looks delicious

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Exactly! Aglio,olio e peperoncino with spaghettini! :) Buon appettito

[@robertbennett6697]

Have you ever had the opportunity to play for a superpod of dolphins to see if there was any reaction to the music?

[@marcwouters6059]

Play some music for Neptunus , that can help !!! Succes .

[@theislandworkshop8453]

totally becalmed, nightmare !

[@sailingavocet]

creeeeepy!

[@veleroh26nubarron48]

No importa la calma si esta el violin de Maya

[@dancingrick9627]

Would Aldino be willing to reveal his spaghetti sauce recipe?

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

This is one of the easiest and yummiest. Aglio olio e peperoncino. Use spaghettini While pasta cooks heat some garlic in a bit of oil in a separate pan. Once pasta is al dente! Strain it Crank the heat on the frying pan Add spicy chilly flakes maybe some more olive oil and the pasta. Spin for half a minute and done! A classic addition to that is the “parmesan of the poor” Wich consits in toasted bredcrumbs They stick to the spaghetti, absorb some of the oil and gives it some crunch! Have to try it Buon appettito ~ aladino

[@dancingrick9627]

Aladino I apologize for misspelling your name. Thanks for the recipe. I sail the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound in NC, USA, and you two inspire me.

[@rrojasg68]

You both have the yellow hat or your sharing!

[@emmavanhasselt1023]

Why do you guys have a Dutch flag on the boat, you are not from the Netherlands right?

[@matthewbaynham6286]

When you see dolphins I've noticed you don't jump in the water and try to swim with them. I know if the boat is moving there would be a good reason why not to. But when your boat isn't moving is there any reason why you don't just jump in anytime you see dolphins?

[@torstenbehrendt870]

Slowly as possible.... wasn't that the plan ? ;-)
