The most BEAUTIFUL place we've ever sailed to?! Cefalu, Sicily [Ep 46]

[@gregbicyclesboats5683]

And this year's KZbin Sailing Video Awards! "Cleanest engine in a sailboat" Award goes to Aladino! "Best Violin Performance on a Sailboat" Award goes to Maya! Great work guys!!

[@RichardBrocklesby101]

oh I dream of an engine that clean....

[@Maluka-l2k]

The joy, the warmth of all your guys smile, the funny comments, the love for life.. and some beautiful music. I love it 😍

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

I am again stunned by Aladino's fortune at finding Mia, she is such elegance and so talented, great video..

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Hunter2323. You are absolutely right. But I think that they both found each other and totally deserve each other. In my opinion it's a perfect fit and not only because they complement each other extremely well. Best regards luck and health.

[@truman42746]

Did you ever wonder how many people were trying to figure out where your beautiful music was coming from? I truly love to hear you play and love you and Aladino's channel! He hit a home run when he found you!!

[@SamuelKTennis]

So cool to see some (possibly actual human interaction) - we can ALL become more human, once in a while, and let our natures peek through. Unless it was carefully orchestrated in advance, as we have known to happen before, it was refreshing to see the human side emerge.! Thank you Magic Carpet! Never forget, it is all right to be proven "just" human!

[@cinziam457]

This is another WOW. That opening shot gave me chills, with Maya playing the violin. I've shared this episode (along with others) as it's a shame more people haven't seen it. You need to win an award for your eloquent, insightful, and poetic commentary. You are both unique and we all love and support your adventures. Please just keep being you(rselves). Love from Canada :)

[@mariomuliacabrera1472]

Bravo, Bravo.

[@yellowbicycleartstudio8974]

Beautiful video! We all appreciate all of your editing hard work!

[@CowboyStag]

That was sparkling

[@cjamachado]

You’re right! That’s a beautiful place.

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

Mia & Aladino I stumbled on your videos a few days ago. I have watched every episode always anticipating what will come next. Mia your narrative on the different cities and their history is very enjoyable. Honestly You have cornered the market on this. Please don’t stop ! By the way Aladino the boat looks great. Mia your music is extreamly enjoyable, please keep playing.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Hi Todd! Wow, thank you so much for writing this comment, it’s absolutely amazing that you’ve gone back and watched all our videos! THANK YOU! -Maya

[@johnnyp628]

You guys are so fortunate to have found each other. Aladino seems like a good man with a wonderful soul and Mia is so beautiful and talented with a warm heart. Keep your dreams alive you two, it fills me with faith in mankind.

[@Richard-R-S]

Great video guys... My paternal grandparents came to America from Italy so these are particularly fun for me. Thanks, and my prayer is to get there myself... Of particular fascination was the last couple minutes of this video, reality always trumps everything else in all ways. Great Stuff, Kudos Aladino's deplomacy, and Maya for the violin👍🏻🎻 God Bless🙏🏻⛵🐬

[@papajim632]

Mia, it’s obvious you have a great education, your commentary on the videos is wonderful and makes them much more entertaining to listen too. And Aladino certainly knows his boats. You and he make a great couple! Keep the videos coming we all look forward them.

[@bzalto]

You play the violin with great feeling! Brava, signorina!

[@rickpetersonphotography]

Another great video!!! Thank you for sharing and entertaining us stuck on land. Be safe and sail Far!

[@myhillslife27]

You can cook for me ANY time! Maya ..lovely episode.. thankyou again to you both. Too true Maya, if tourism is managed well it can be ok and not too intrusive but add atmosphere. Aladino! LOL you are sooo funny, you two are so cute! I understand same with me with photography..

[@keithh8661]

Just great, thanks for sharing,your over all photography Just gets better and better, thanks

[@Brians911]

I really enjoy you narrating voice! So soft and pretty

[@melvinboyce9629]

I am happy you said what you did about tourists and the need for them. There is and has been a great move in the United States to discourage tourists by tourists themselves and more often by the very people who have a job because of tourists. They would be happy to hold their jobs if only the tourist would not clutter up the scenery. As always like your sailing and music.

[@itsmuha9629]

Берегите себя, молодежь! Мира вам и хлеба! С Новым Годом!

[@thekttravelshow0001]

New subscriber we just spent 2 weeks in the hills over looking Cefalu and explored the surrounding villages and countryside. lovely vlog.

[@diannetell6757]

Aladino magically found the perfect Princesse and there they go living their dream life on a magic carpet. Your videos are amazing, you are one of a kind. Love you both. Bon voyage et bon vent.

[@SVImpavidus]

"Videos hand crafted by Magic carpet!" Just lovely guys. Sail safe. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew xx

[@MrRourk]

She makes music in the kitchen. :) Aladino is well fed and very lucky man.

[@motoristaxp55]

How wonderful! The video starts with a beautiful violin song. Thanks for showing us beautiful places! And also, your sympathy. Hugs from Brazil's friend.

[@Morrisfactor]

Another magical video - thanks so much for including us in your travels!

[@klouism1]

Lovely video. Thank you. You both are talented in your own way. Keep having fun.

[@outdoorzfam]

Your videos are getting better and better each time! Good job guys 💙👌👍😎🤓

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Aw thank you SO much!! That makes me very very happy to hear! -Maya

[@mauscuba]

Maya, 1:35 stonishing violin rendition of "Il Padrino", got me goosebumps, loved this episode... & 12:27 .... Aladino: Blue Locktite, Permatex # 24200 (or any equivalent medium strength thread locker) is your best friend for those shaky-shaky engine mount bolts...

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing.

[@soraya4890]

Love how Mia narrates the stories and loved the videos on land...beautiful

[@shirleyboy8859]

During these strange times and restrictions on travel, your videos take me away from my small apartment to some places I have been to and others yet visit. Thank you both, take care and stay safe :-)) xx

[@tomlarocque4720]

Use locktight....wonderful channel. Thanks guys.

[@captainlee1]

Another video hit on the internet today Thanks for your great editing skills and voice over tooooo....Cap. Love Ya See Ya

La Grandissima Maya al violino con un classic pezzo Bruciata la Terra

[@scable-eq7bp]

Your videos are so magical, makes you feel like your floating on a carpet of air as you sail to your next adventure......

[@billvandenouden7302]

I watch this with my wife she is from Sicily and just thought your video was just awesome double thumbs up great video too bad you lost the fish and I surely really enjoy you playing the violin Vegas bill

[@shnorman1]

What a beautiful town! Thanks for sharing this.

[@greggronemeier1256]

Love the violin. Still playing “Hold On” on repeat in the car.

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

The mideaval laundry was really interesting.

[@elliottmanning]

Had a wonderful time in Cefalu during my Holiday in Sicily a few years ago!!! I used the Stone Age Washing Machines several times during my times in Portugal, ruff on clothes...

[@sailingavocet]

absolutely stunning

[@williamralph5442]

Time has stood still in a quaint shore line city. Great video. Thank you

[@SimplicityForGood]

I am a writer studying programming with the purpose to work from home so to get more time to finish and publish my novels. Where is a good place to find a small house with a garden and a view to the ocean!? I do not need to live close / on the beach... One can always drive down to a beach when one wish... But good internet, air condition and a balcony to see the ocean and a garden for my dog is all I need... But where to begin to look for such a dream village!? Any suggestions!? 🤷🏼‍♂️😇😀 New to this channel! Just found you guys today... Hope to hear from you 🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♂️ Ciao!!

[@francescanobilettimarcoveg8930]

Grandi Ragazzi!! Io e Francesca cercheremo di fare un viaggio come il vostro. Great job guys!I'm and Francesca we will try to make the same experience with our boat.

[@t04v7]

Great choice of music for the opening! I’d say “leave the gun and take the cannoli”, but that is probably a safe assumption with Aladino 😅

[@smokindauberdoo4208]

Thank you so much!

[@ABeriault]

Sicily is sooo lovely!

[@robertorzech2466]

it gave me goose bumps !

[@spindreams]

Hi guys, hope all is well, great episode BTW

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

All is WONDERFUL! Thank you again for such a lovely, lovely day -- we reviewed the footage from the jam and it's BEAUTIFUL. Can't wait to share! -Maya

[@puyanube]

Gorgeous photography! , beautiful music and the vegan 🌱 lunch looked delicious 😋 lucky fish that got away. Thanks for sharing such beautiful episode.

[@tomhound273]

love the cities - really beautiful - your playing on the Vulcano was exceptional. very different.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

Stunning area you find yourself in, love the opening salvo

[@MichaelMechsner]

Theme from my all time favorite movie!! Perfect video music for your location.

[@marcwouters6059]

I am sure that if you played the violin on the bow , all the sicilians stood in the background on their terraces as nailed to the ground !!!!! Well done .

[@madwldgrp1]

Another epic adventure Sailing Magic Carpet in beautiful Cefalu.Thank you!

[@silvanocometta9760]

Hi Maya. If you liked Cefalù, check out Erice on top of the mountain adjacent to Trapani (on the other side of Palermo). That is a jaw dropping place. You can walk from the port of Trapani through the entire city (a very nice place, too) then take the cable car or walk up the mountain to Erice. You will like it. There is a gelateria there claiming to make the best ice cream on the planet. It is possibly true. Best regards, Silvano

[@macmackenzie7169]

Very special thank you from London ❤️

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

And thank YOU from Sardinia!

[@mickeykeymoaw]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@tymeryder7264]

Another delightful interlude. Mia love your musical talent always look forward to more.

[@Wenvalley]

I would strongly recommend that you use a threadlocker on those engine mount bolts. Also, check what the torque value is and torque them to spec. Properly torqued, and with a threadlock they won't vibrate out again. Seems like too much vibration on the engine too, just sayin.....

[@trentbush38]

Yes, Aladino. Threadlock and a properly calibrated torque wrench on those engine mount bolts.

[@birdwing98]

I second the opinion the vibration is excessive. Hope it smooths out at a high RPM. Seems very stressful to engine mounts to idle.

[@CaptainSeeker1]

Great episode. I now want to go to this place. Thanks for adding to my bucket list.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you Earl! It is certainly worth a visit! -Maya

[@RVLifeNOW]

Loved both the violin touch and your voice once again :) -Rebecca On SV Brick House

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thanks so much for all your comments Rebecca!! -Maya

[@RVLifeNOW]

Sailing Magic Carpet...Hah...it helps us both to be mutual admirers...And really do enjoy your videos...so it’s all easy ;) -Rebecca

[@sidneylaimbeer5500]

Hi,have you been to Malta/Gozo? its worth a trip, Gozo the blue lagoon just wonderfull,alltime safe seas.

[@ldetonimacedo]

Bravo! ²

[@greggronemeier1256]

Ultimately, we are all tourists !!

[@smokindauberdoo4208]

I concur ;-)

[@curaticac5391]

Nice clip, guys, and beautifully presented by the lady; only the violin almost deterred me from watching; thankfully, it stopped right in time :-). Thank you for posting it!

[@NikoWulff]

Wunderful atmosphere Maya playing violin in the shaky sea with the gorgeous city in the background, don't know what I like more but I opt for the first ;-) I just startet some cooking videos on my channel, but yours are definitly better simply because of the location - and now I am courious why do you have a mirror on your kitchen window (or am I looking wrong)? I whish you allways good wind and weather - my season for this year is over since a month... :-( , I love to see your videos. LG Niko

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Bourdino had better look to his laurels. Well spotted mount bolt Alardino :)

[@michaeltouchette8156]

HAHAHAHA.... nothing more perfect than to play the theme song from the Godfather, off the shore of Sicily... love it

[@thomasthomas001]

Yeah you played a regional Italian song!!,Gorgeous city and the epitome of Italy seaside gorgeous gorgeous!!....I think of Loreena Mckennet "Ancient Muse" album exemplifies Greek/Arabic etc.. European region!!!!.....

[@davidd3377]

The start reminds me of Frankenstein!

[@emelitabelolo8304]

That 'zucchini serpenti' is a common vegetable in my country, Philippines. We call it UPO, no need to add water when you cook that, it produces liquid.

[@amandak7777]

Soulmates made in heaven (France, Germany & ITALIA) #amora #concariño

[@earlashton1342]

Mc Arther Park - a beautiful tune. Made famous by Andy Williams in the 60's.

[@bengt_axle]

I love to watch your videos, featuring slow, reflective, travels. If you're looking for suggestions for next season, may I propose covering foods discovered along the way. Not restaurant food but the kinds of things people are buying in markets, featuring traditional cuisine ("Bourdainesque" coverage, as it has been called). For example, did you know Sicilian is influenced North African cuisine? Cinnamon, dates, figs but also grilled fish. And would it not be great to see an episode with market foods (and wines!), with a little bit of history behind the dish? No other sailing channel features this and I think it would nicely complement your city wanderings and musings.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

A lovely idea, thanks marc :) -Maya

[@markduncker9117]

Guy's isn't the engine vibrating to much ? Even when it is cold it shouldn't vibrate / shaking so heavy. Maybe weak engine mount, else check the injectors or even compression.

[@clarkkent2913]

I thought the same.

[@oakleyjack7600]

Could be the alignment of the engine to the prop shaft

[@MatFlyinFoolHarris]

I dunno why, but your narration reminds me of Jacques Cousteau (yeah I'm old). Great videos by the way they're somehow...relaxing?

[@sies2371]

Reel faster and keep more pressure on the rod, also keep your hooks sharp !!

[@gary5831]

I loved the violin , but with the Mia in bibs it should be "fiddle" with a little bluegrass coming out.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Get some Loctite thread locker for critical bolts and nuts.

[@skigod9]

use loc tight or lock washer on anything that can vibrate free

[@fonhollohan2908]

That little island is not just gorgeous its like stepping back into history into the ancient days of the apostles almost.

[@frenk..]

brucia la luna in cielo e io , brucio d'amore. thanks for magic

Drop the gun grab the cannolis great opening song

The yellow hat appears to be a joint effort or do you have two?

Hi guys, great videos! If you come close to Rome let me know, I’d love to buy you a beer!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Aww this is such a sweet offer!! Thank you! Unfortunately we're not heading by Rome, but I hope that we do one day!

[@matildebarbagallo9249]

Maybe one day then! Buon vento :)

[@john3Lee]

I'm a new subscriber..... Hey, why isn't you boat engine all covered in oil ? _ is it a new engine ? btw - I would make sure you have a few rubber water impellers ready for replacement.... Cheers to you both..

[@frenk..]

burn the moon in the sky, and I burn with love

[@Pasovineyard]

Ok, it is not SV Delos. But it is a start. So they are not in Fatu Hiva.

[@MrEds74]

Do you play grand piano? 😀

[@thomasomeara2679]

Is your engine gas or diesel?

[@lotophagi711]

Hey, you know that you lost your hair elastic when you jumped in? :-)

[@dw4956]

as a mechanic, those engine mounts give me the creeps. 8mm bolts are way to small to mount an engine. those mounts shoult be tightened with 60 Nm 10.9 grade 10mm bolt. Those 8mm 8.8 grade bolts will come loose or brake.

[@MrJpetersen77]

Screw tofu! Give me tuna! 😂 😂 😝 😝

[@backdownontheboat6038]

Is that the Godfather theme?

[@TomSramekJr]

What, no intro? ;-)

[@johnmcgovern3806]

That motor is shaking too much, wrong mounts or timing wrong or something else. No wounder the bolt came out, it will again unless you put some loctite on it
