SURREAL Night Sail to SWEDEN [S5E9]

[@rickstevens1479]

Nobody so beautifully describes a sail like Maya and Aladino . Its the next best thing to being there ...all your videos have a certain atmosphere that no one else can match ...

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Wow, thank you so much Rick! That means a lot!

[@clarisd]

She has a very lyrical style that matches her talent of music 🎶 very sweet elegance with whimsical imagination and excellent filming.

[@charles11ification]

Hear...hear!

[@maureentweedly]

I find myself yawning, not because this video is in any way boring. To the contrary, it is so beautifully filmed, edited, and masterfully narrated that it has taken me away from the world troubles of the day. Soooo relaxing with the lovely background music...my shoulders soften and I am sailing away with you. Thank you again for such a classy video of your adventures.

[@jeroenbons637]

“That I was fortunate enough to experience exactly this”…. Here again one of your poetic presents that you hand so freely to your potcastodians, by which you are passing on the feeling exactly as it is.

[@borealis370]

This day I browsed through a few sailing channels I follow, Magic Carpet included of course. Suddenly I recognize .... I screamed out loud. How insane is it that you came to the place where I've spent so many summers, talking walks down to check out the "guesting vessels" and the sunsets.. Absolutely hysterical that you came to a specific little part of the world where I feel the most home.

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

Presuming you mean the one at appears at the 17:31 mark - that's a very cool story, and addition to this episode.

[@borealis370]

@@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill yes,that's the one!

[@ThePeterJG]

Hello, I just want to thank you guys for introducung me to Kirsten in the GGR2022 race. I have been following her with great interest. So amazing to watch and hear about her extraordinary sailing in the rescue of fellow competitor Tapio when his boat sank. She is not only a very skillful sailer, but also such a positive person.

[@redddogjmb]

Aladino has such a treasure in Maya. Her soothing voice could calm the most angry beast, Best of luck and life to the both of you.

[@CreekRanger]

❤ Elegant is the word to describe your videos. You have the heart of artists and it comes across beautifully in your videos. Thank You for bringing us along.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much, what a kind comment!

[@MichaelBaird-tf7gx]

I suddenly realized why I enjoyed your adventure so much because many years ago I sailed with a friend who owned a Vindo 40. The pictures of Magic Carpet brought back so many happy memories.

[@ingelukas5758]

Oh, that feeling where you constantly remind yourself you must remember this moment, this sail, these surroundings, this happiness basically… So familiar!

[@waynerudiger1756]

It's interesting, in my 70's, to see what memories stand out for me. It's surprising how many are rather mundane. Now, I never consciously tried to"bookmark" an experience. It's an awesome idea that probably makes the moment more special now as well as a stronger memory in later years. I'll have to try it!

[@christopherhughes8402]

Land bound gen xer from Missouri loving every single thing you put out. I truly can not tell you how beautiful and appreciated what you are doing is. It is everything I passed on to raise children and while I regret none of it it is so incredibly beautiful to see what could have been if I made other choices. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Always a lovely adventure as Maya tells a story from her own storybook land. So enchanting, so magical, so beautiful, sailing adventure.

[@kellyh1316]

So thankful you all have chosen to share your journey, as the likelihood of us doing so is small…thank you a million times….you all are wonderful

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank YOU for watching and leaving uplifting comments Kelly! We really appreciate it!

[@Ianl1970]

I love that line. "A freshly laundered world."

[@clarisd]

The weaving of a beautiful story for this over night 🌙 sail ⛵️ ❤️ Maya you have an elegant sweetness of a lyricalness that is complimented by the films and relayed just as lovely as your playing of your violin 🎻 EPIC

[@New.Adventures.Sailing]

WOW! Amazing moments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, specifically "I must remember this" it feels like we could all do better at this. Thinking of your later years and looking back on this moment fondly having bookmarked it, intentionally remembering.

[@markbernier8434]

And you will look back, and you will remember.

[@Tomm9y]

Sailing peacefully & with friends, precious times indeed.

[@mythokki]

Yes, at 73 I remember similar moments on our boat. Your videos make the time travel even more wonderful and real. Thanks from a fellow Canadian female sailor!

[@kevroodenman3283]

dear between two Staloch countries peaceful joy you’re on top of the world ,three wishes Liberty and justice for all . The rest of the world should be so nice😢

[@davidmiller6020]

Hi Guys. My Friday evening "fix" was lovely. Thankyou.

[@johnekins4408]

So I am 74 years old, is that old or very old? I have sailed in both small lakes in Windermere plus many trips to Holland crewing 100 year old sailing barges. I still feel the need to do more so maybe I am a young old. As aways loving your videos, they remind me of my youth. Many thanks, bon voyage.

[@goofy4birds]

The boat looks stunning, can't wait to see how the one sitting in a barn in US will turn out. Aladino is a great boat builder and you are truly gifted. Love that I can daydream about going along on the journey too.

[@belindagray4174]

Just so poetically said - the stars & your words make us appreciate your beautiful sail. Thank you 🙏

[@ianscott3180]

Another great video, there is something magical about a night passage. I enjoy being on watch alone with my thoughts and the sea and the sky as my companions. Of course, an angry wind over tide in a blow and a face full of salt water every few seconds is not so much fun😀.

[@fossil_free]

Välkomna till bästkusten!

[@truman42746]

Maya, you are the best at describing a sail! You could make a trip to the dentist sound fun. Love your videos!

[@simonbrismo1]

Always nice to watch your adventures. I own Magic Carpets sister, Vindö 32, sail number 151, If you consider going back to Sweden and. visit the east coast, it would be cool to do a match race. Skeppohoj! As se say in Sweden.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

And, if you forget, you will have these beautiful episodes to remind you. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertgsands3521]

Remembering: We call them "bottle days" in which you bottle up the memories to be opened in the future.

[@MTATAZELA]

Editing on this episode was just something to be so proud of - fantastic video. I’m on the other side of the scale - old. Your thoughts on remembering the good and beauty of life -spot on🙏🏻

[@noelplouffe6245]

Such marvelous prose; well done, well done.

[@dougsrepair1060]

Perfect passage guy’s. Good call on the weather window. And as always lovely narration. See you next week.

[@gus2747]

The. atmosphere is lovely. Thank you.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Simply Wonderful as always.... Bless you all.... :-)) xxxx

[@TheErmerm999]

I love your intro that beautiful instrumental, in future series you should start the video with that it eases us into the video so smoothly so unique then the preview. Your skills as a musician shine through your videos always sound wonderful

[@jimself8214]

Please tell Annika that getting seasick is normal for some of us: At different times in my 22-year career in the U.S. Navy, I got seasick EVERY time I served aboard a different platform (vessel type); it had something to do with "platform harmonics" and my body's adjustment to them, and it (seasickness) only lasted 24 hours. BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed your video, as always. 🙂

[@pauljones5066]

I look forward to your videos every Friday - really great! - thanks and best wishes

[@MrStalledrang]

And you sailed to my home port in Lerkil 😀

[@ruudsmith3836]

cross-over viewer. big fan of Kerstin and her CG. Kerstin did some amazing sailing in the past 24hr to rescue another sailor after his yacht sank. I enjoy your channel...but do look forward to more work on your CG

[@ETXChris]

Whispers from Maya.. delightful

[@mikeridgway4439]

Another wonderful episode. Thank you for giving me 20 minutes of calm and wistful thoughts.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much for watching Mike :)

[@locksnkeys]

Thank you for a beautiful Sunday morning sail. Beautiful music and great company.

[@ingolfby]

Thx for all your videos and very special and wonderful Impressions.

[@braithmiller]

Beautiful memories to places most of us are still aspiring to reach recorded in the highest style. Impressive performance of MCll sistership in the GGR truly a fine choice. Kirsten picking up Tapio!

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

more fun is it if you have a nightsail when the midnightsun is shining😃

[@dieseekocht6858]

Dear Maja, this was by far your best video of your channel. It felt so real as if I was part of your journey. I love your safe tour planning. One day we will make our way to sweden with our even smaller sailing boat. But only if the weather is as calm as on your trip. Can´t wait for next fridays video.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Another lovely vid. Thank you. Maya, your voice is so soothing to listen to. I was so relaxed on my sail with you I almost fell asleep.

[@scottrader6411]

8:25 (really from 8:01) You're going to spend DAYS going through your archived episodes and b-roll reliving these moments, while constantly thanking your younger selves for having chronicled so much of it so well. It's going to be awesome too ;)

[@sallyb3]

Another excellent video with your beautiful Vindo.

[@BillChild2njoy]

Love following your adventures.. Maya ..you're last descriptive phrase blew me away.. "The ethereal filtered light shining down on the freshly laundered world." WOW !! 👌

[@AMBONKART]

Congratulation for mastering the art of "When to go". Greeting from Borneo. May wind, ocean & sky in your favor always.

[@victorfebo2968]

Thank you very much for taking us along on this sweet passage! I am looking forward to you, Alandino and friends touring Sweden! God bless! ❤

[@woodpecker6452]

Maya your narrations are beautiful

[@merryfergie]

Beautiful episode, with friends Your harmony with the elements was good confirmation of your loving passion & wisdom of the night crossing

[@hjbl2453]

It's Wagner today, even at Magic Carpet 😀😀. Beautiful video again. Thank you.

[@peterbremberg3900]

A little further north on Sweden's west coast you can visit Henan, where Nötesunds shipyard was based and your boat was born. Very nice video!

[@nick.caffrey]

I love my Magic Carpet Fridays!

[@geoffpm]

Arriving in Sweden and drinking a languedoc wine ! So cool !

[@MarcelEling]

A nice and calm crossing. Rekaxed watching this.

[@mikewillis2934]

Wonderful music accompanying this

[@sailinglatis]

[@robertlindstrom540]

First snow today (saturday) so spent a nice 20 minutes watching this lovely video. Eagerly already waiting for next summer, winter never was my favourite time of year. Magic videos from magic carpet, thank you so much for making these for us to enjoy. 🙂

[@ttpersonalaccount]

So fun to watch you all

[@mcheney06]

Amazing curation best editing out there for sailing channels reminded me of “Rick Steve’s” of the sailing world though Thank you 🙏

[@dc1544]

Now that I know what I am (Ancestry DNA) 36% Norway and the rest is Sweden/Denmark/Scotland/Ireland and England. I would love to be sailing to those places. I would most likely never leave if I went there. You both are awesome and thanks for sharing your journey.

[@robertnixon3816]

Just a simply beautiful video! From hitting your weather window perfectly to tying up in one of the most beautiful places, it was all good! Excellent editing, music, etc as usual. Enjoy Sweden!

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Absolutely beautiful scenery…thanks for sharing another amazing video ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕

[@ccrtv6198]

✨🇺🇸🌎💨🌊🌬 Serine & Beautiful Sailings Sojurn ❤Thanks-4-Sharing

[@anderssonsailing2230]

Have to admit we have been looking forward to your Swedish videos! Since I learned to sail here, I am not used to anchoring out in the open. I find that scary, love the sheltering rocks. Lovely video as always. (Jodi & Magnus)

[@phillipobrien7365]

Don`t thank us for sharing our Fridays with you. Thank you for making our Fridays so much better !

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Aw what a lovely comment! Thank you!

[@vattenpoel1328]

So you visited my home country, I hope you will visit the east coast as well. Hope you will have a good time. Right now the news says there is snow coming in Småland remarkable in November.

[@garyknight1750]

Maya, you are a beautiful writer (your narration)! You should write a book.

[@TheBuddyandlilly]

Thank you so very much for your show I love it sooooo much

[@dylanwebb9584]

"A wash of contentment". I rather like that phrase.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Aloha from beautiful tropical paradise island Kauai 🏝 Hawaii ! Another beautiful episode. My sister married living in Sweden 🇸🇪 Stockholm, since 1985 ,great country Sweden 🇸🇪 Stockholm.

[@ellinorhansson7118]

It’s so interesting to hear someone describe the only anchoring technique I’ve ever used in my life (in Swedish we just call it “natural harbor”) as something exotic! I can’t wait to see you explore my home!

[@richb313]

Another beautiful episode but the weather will soon turn nasty hope you all fare well.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

These were all filmed during the summer! :)

[@bobjones8864]

A most pleasant crossing especially for a young lady who is afraid of seasickness.

[@fionahartery5255]

As always simply beautiful. X

[@claeswikberg8958]

looking forward to your take on my hometown

[@stephenburnage7687]

I plan on following your route (including the French Canals) so your videos are very helpful. Still in Panama so a year or two away..

[@bevtrue6937]

Wonderful crossing. Couldn't ask for better. Beautiful location. Awesome people, as always but more than usual. 😁

[@petestack]

How appropriate to see the Vega and the Maxi at the pier late on! :-)

[@Daydreameruk]

Sheer bliss. You do this so well.

[@keebearfull]

Some of your best ever footage is in this episode: Afterglow blue hour shots of Moon, glowing last light on the horizon, and the tall ship.

[@marbon4686]

Love this nigth sailing

[@jonaslarson1721]

I love that your first Swedish harbour was Lerkil, home harbour to me and my International Folkboat or IF as we say in Sweden 😃 And I love following your sailing adventures👍🏻

[@gerthemmingsen1612]

Hello welcome to sweden

[@davidnichols147]

Another amazing Friday video. Congratulations on reaching Sweden, we can't wait for your future review.

[@rebekkad.2092]
