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.
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.
This made me so happy. Actually smiling, and I haven't even watched past the titles yet. Thank you!
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 TH-cam.
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!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
The Champagne is Iced, I have tears in my eyes, and Love for two people that I may never meet..... What a strange but Wonderful World it can be.... Bless you both.... :-))) xx
Congratulations on finally being back aboard. There's just nothing like that moment when one turns off the engine and just ... sails...
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!!
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!
In This time and age, it so nice to see young peopel How have your attitude and intelligents. You give me hope for the future
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!
My boat is in marina just next to this museum but I've never been there. Thanks for advice!
@@АлексейВолков-й6п5ъ "Compagnieshaven Enkhuizen"? Nice! If you're planning to visit Amsterdam, hit me up, free guide 😉
She's a truly beautiful Sailboat. Congratulations on your accomplishments.
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.
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!
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.
Oh wow. So good to see you two back in the water and excited about sailing again. You just look sooo happy 😊😊
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!
Beautiful ...Not too shabby !..
My goodness, that, boat, is, GORGEOUS. Incredible job you two. Congratulations:)
I will admit With No Holds Barred Magic Carpet is a very Majestic lady
Wow, it’s been forever since I saw one of your vids. Glad you are afloat again. Wishing you fair winds and happy travels.
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. 😊 🫂 🙏
..this is not a boat. This is a jewel with sails on 🥰 Absolut magic
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. 🐟
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 TH-cam sailing channel . Thank you for this tiny peek into your lifestyle. Two beautiful people on a beautiful adventure known as life.
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.
Um yeah just seen your story and have to say what a beautiful life you have hope all is what you want safe sailing and thank you for allowing us to be part of it
Congrats guys! I am so happy for you! You have both done such an amazing job on this massive undertaking! Well done!
Finally something Aladino isn't a master at...(kussens) Thank you universe. Boat looks great. Summer must have been a blast.
Lovely to see you back on the water again !
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 !
So glad you are back where you belong - on the water. Enjoy.
I know this is in the past but congrats on getting afloat and the beginning of a new summer of adventure!
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, 🇺🇸
The woodwork is beautiful!
The moment of stopping the engine followed by only the sound of the boat in the water !! WOW !! The boat looks great !!
13:15 - recording the moment... at last: sailing freely - but it didn't come without a price. Thanks for sharing ALL of the adventure.
Now - to reap the benefits of all your hard work. Peace & Fair winds.
Finalmente!!....Finally the boat is in the water!!!....Congratulations!!
Happy days. Great music accompaniment/choices. Thanks
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 :-)
Incredible! Happy for @Sailing Magic Carpet!

Wonderful episode! The boat looks absolutely amazing (of course Aladino is a magician) - And you both look soooooooo happy 🥰😍 Congratulations! Enjoy your journey with your floating home! ☺️
So nice to have new sheets and halyards
how do you guys not age!!! great to see you back on the water sailing!
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 TH-cam. The music just makes the excellent cinematography and storytelling pop.
So glad your back on the water
Beautiful music and singing. Love your boat. Regards from Oslo.
I had a huge smile on my face the whole way through this episode! 😁 Congrats!! I'm so excited for you guys, it's great to see you both with the water for the first time since I've discovered your channel!
Glad to see you back on the water
So nice, full of remebering for me doing about the same fifthy years ago, marvelous experience. Magic carpet is so beautifull.
Congrats you guys , I find it there’s no better pleasure then backing out of the slip, working my way up to the big water. Then unfurling the head sail,At the pointe of unfurling the head sail is where all the stress in my life just melts away. Good travels to you..👍👍👍👍😝😝
I'm a relatively new subscriber, I came aboard for the refit of Magic Carpet 2, but seeing how beautiful Magic Carpet 1 is, I am even more excited to see the progress in the future! What a beautiful boat!!🥰
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
Man. So glad you’re back in Europe aboard that beautiful Vindo. Wishing both of you a lovely, lovely summer 👍
A total beauty...and the boat looks good too.
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.
This is fantastic! I am so pleased to see you both in back Magic Carpet. I tell you Maya, as much as I enjoy your music and I do, I first loved your prose; your travel prose.
That has got to be a great feeling.
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
Loving the music this episode
Very very very cool. Nobody deserves this more than
you
Tis a beautiful thing, your boat.
Wow I've been watching the refit, so much hard work! So happy for you guys and jealous too!! The boat looks amazing, congratulations.
So happy for you guys, glad to see you finally back on the water. Have an absolutely wonderful season of sailing.
Sailing!!! At last!!! Beautiful calming wonderful!
She really looks great guys !
very good for Maric carpet Happy Birthday.
So happy to see you back on your boat!🥰. Our favorite harbor, Dana Point, CA is being torn apart. Alas!
Loved this video. Looking forward to following you guys on your summer sailing adventure. I am a New Zealand sailor and my wife is Danish so I can't wait to see more of her part of the world as you head towards Scandinavia.
Bon voyage magic carpet so happy for you and the boat to see you getting her back whee she belongs and you can just see how happy the boat is back in the water
For there we loved, and where we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts...

Such a beautiful boat back in the water😄
Congratulations! What a journey. Fair wind
That varnish still looks like the mahogany was dipped in honey ! Safe journeys et bon voyage !!
What a real wunderfull refit🎉 well done
So happy to see you two back on the water!
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
the two of you should be so proud of each other really good job,and here we go on our new adventures. Safe Sailing
She sure is a beautiful boat!
Aah! The ability to make a meal in your own home! Much more than satisfying.
GREAT VIDEO , AND CLASSIC MUSIC IS FANTASTIC !!!
What a stunning refit, and what a master-shipwright Aladino is! Congrats for the adventures to come. I was thinking there would be some dyneema integrated into the rigging somewhere, but maybe that’s for the Cape George. Fair winds and safe travels!
Congratulations!!!!! it must feel amazing! She is beautiful and reminiscent of MK#1. Now make waves!!!!!!
This is magic carpet 1 :)
What a beautiful boat!
Very nice! I loved the little string Quartet piece in there. The boat looks extremely sharp! Wow.
yea. Loved it glad you are back on the water.
Magic carpet has a sexy beamy hull shape I had forgotten what she looked like in the slings. Glad to see you getting a bit of sailing in after being on the hard for such a long time. Stay safe and thanks for taking us along
I'm so happy for you both to be back to doing what you love so much. Of course, you are somewhere far away by now, but I'm so happy for how happy both of you were to be back on Magic Carpet. Cheers!
Finally......congrats on the splash...and she is a beautiful boat. She will give you many decades of pleasure

Magic Carpet looks beautiful-Happy Sails.to you both. It is all worth it! 🛥
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.
What a beautiful boat you have made! You can really be proud of your work. I have great admiration for your work! Enjoy your summer sailing, I'm looking forward to your videos!
I got chills watching Magic carpet being pulled out of the yard.
Congrats from Montreal Canada
