It's awesome to see Luca get another opportunity to see that Sailing can be pleasant experience and that it's not always a uncontrollable tormenting freighting journey every time you venture out on a sail.
I was a day behind, my car is loaded and I am off on my cross country off grid car camping trip in the am, gone for a over a month....hoping to teach myself some professional editing skills during my time away....so glad to see this tonight before I go to sleep. I get such a happiness and calm from your videos, so excited to part of magic carpet patreon too now. Safe travels my friends....I’ll be watching from a different state each week....ps...spent the day making a few pans of your bread to take with me...😘
Maya, God has truly blessed you with the poetic gift of story telling. Your calming voice, along with scenery and wonderful music is indeed a gift for your viewers! Both of you are very talented. I enjoy watching Aladino, maneuver the boat in the tight docking spaces. He surely is blessed as well. God bless and keep you both happy, healthy and safe. Take care. -CarrieJo-
Maya, this is another of your adventures where I truly wish YT would let me give you 3-4 thumbs up. 💚👍👍👍👍 I have to vote with Anna on this one. What could be better than live music on a lovely, lazy sail with scenic views? 🙏 You have two thoughtfully beautiful friends there. And maybe a little sneaky.😁 🙏Best wishes from the Northern Gulf of Mexico.
Thank you for the ride along and the introduction to Luca and Annika. Love the home with the thatched roof and the boat in the yard. It is a pleasure to be a guest on Magic Carpet.
I have enjoyed your channel for some time, you are certainly doing a fabulous job of promoting sailing and the spirit of sailing. My wife and I sail these days the North Channel in Ontario Canada, and prior to this sailed the BC coast from Victoria to southern Alaska and the Swedish coast from my native country. Continue your great channel.
Just recently found your channel and really enjoying it. The way you talk us true your travels Maya is really fantastic and I really love your voice. And the technical know how of Aladino is really stunning. Now started with the videos on the beginning of your adventure and already in the second season. Your music, the singing of your friend .. in one word Wauw. I live in the Netherlands and mostly sail with my even smaller sailboat (23ft Daïmio) in Friesland and the IJsselmeer. In a view weeks the season starts again, finely.. Keep up the good word !
Here in Michigan winter is loosing her grip and open water is visible beyond the ice field. Once again your adventures bring the anticipation of our upcoming sailing season. Much thanks to you for sharing your adventures, outstanding work!
Maya and Aldino, you both are awesome sailors , good friends, beautiful hosts and above all excellent human beings of this generation.Maya's well scripted and beautifully narrated episodes are a pleasure to watch.God bless you.
It has to be fantastic to be at an anchorage where you start playing ,everybody turns Off the radio and listen to you. Hapend to me similar somebody playing a bagpipe in the Bahamas.☺
Ah the options you have when you live on a sailboat. You can pretty much sail with the wind to please Anika and the temperature cold for Maya or warm for Luca. You can actually sail a lot or a little. One of the things I enjoy about the videos is seeing the subscribers number getting closer to 100K every week. Great job and thank you so much for sharing.
That was fabulous. An experience not to be missed. We have just purchased our first yacht after years of inland cruising in the U.K. At our ages, there is lots of room for trepidation, but episodes like yours make it all go away. Thank you Magic Carpet.
Watching your sailing adventures is like being in a dream! A beautiful sailing vessel, 2 adorable/smart humans (who care to keep a tradition alive), beautiful landscapes /seascapes and beautiful music to top it off!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏. Don’t stop! (Btw. Didn’t know The Netherlands were such a sweet sailing local!).
Thank you, I have motored from Aalst to Amsterdam with our Dutch friends. In the outer reaches of the waterways, there is a toll to open bridges which helps pay for the bridge operator and that is collected as you said but on a pole which has the CLOG attached by a rope and swung out to the boat to collect the toll.
And I am caught up to real time. Thank you both, and all your friends and patrons, for the wonderful reminder of what I am missing so very badly. If liking the videos really helps then I gave you a solid hands up. Sam
I realized have been enjoying these videos for a while and have not supported you both. Well no more! Thanks for sharing your journey and all the work you do to allow this to happen.
Every Friday you make great Videos, Music and Comments. Magic Carpet is my Favorit Sailingchanel. Great Cinema every Week!!!!! Thanks for this. (Sorry, my english is not the best) Greatings from Germany
What a beautiful day, the Netherlands and Friesland is almost the perfect place to learn to sail before taking to the high seas. You have lovely friends.
I never imagined subscribing to a sailing channel for the original music, but even if I didn't enjoy the sailing content, I'd probably stick around for the tunes.
Great video as always but this was a little more special as you were very close to where my roots once were. Friesland will always be home. Greetings from Alberta my other home were spring may be trying to break through. Stay safe all.
Absolutely the best sailing vids out there you two make a great couple and a terrific pair! That looked like a close pass coming out into the lake? Great drone footage!!
Bridges, Those wonderfull contraptions that, most times, seem to open immediately whenever a small boat with a mast arrives. As if the king is on board! That's about how it will look for the car drivers that have to wait for the gates of the opened bridge. So that's also why the Dutch sailors try to pass the bridge as fast as possible, not by using speed but by perfect timing. The sailors first clue are the gates closing for the cars. Now adjust your speed so you'll be at the bridge when the bridge is almost fully open. The speed at which the bridge opens helps you to adjust your speed. Officially you have to wait until the red light goes out, but most times we are already passing the bridge when that happens. By shortening the time the bridge is open we HOPE the car drivers don't get aggravated, and the bridge keeper is willing to let us pass quickly next time. Also it's just nice for everyone when they don't have to wait unnecessarily for us.

Thank you for the wonderfully poetic explanation of boat life, both the good, and the sometimes not so good.
Maya, God has truly blessed you with the poetic gift of story telling. Your calming voice, along with scenery and wonderful music is indeed a gift for your viewers! Both of you are very talented.

Being an avid sailor and a fan of many sailing channels, this channel is by far the most artistically beautiful...
it truly is a rare gem
Your description of the highs and lows and joys of sailing was wonderfully poetic. One of your best videos - and there have been some very good ones
Self reliance, and the unknown is why I'd love this. Storms are another beauty.
17 minutes 51 seconds of pure joy. Thanks Maya, and not to be forgotten a huge shout out to Aladino. :--)
Definitely one of the best Magic Carpet in poetry and quiet expectations!
Well done!
Cheers

In Friesland you can even go shopping with your sailboat. In the town of Stavoren there is a Coop Supermarket with it's own docks.
Thank you for the ride along and the introduction to Luca and Annika. Love the home with the thatched roof and the boat in the yard.

Maya, you have a magical way of narrating a magical story in the most magical country, thank you for allowing many passengers to join this adventure.
@AwakeAmericanow. I could not agree more, well said

You two are just awesome! Very inspiring! Whether you weekend cruise or sail the world, it’s all good!
I enjoy your narratives, your voice. You, Maya, makes us feel we are there with you in your beautiful Magic Carpet. Congratulations!
My most favourite when maya play violin 🎻 and if it is within on a boat in a river , that is fabulous👍🙂☺️🎻
Such lovely music on the inland sail!
That is what live is. Sharing what you love with people you lov e.
Your writing is, as always, great. I do miss more of your music. The deck shots at the end are awesome!!
This is a perfect sailing day.......and of coarse a wonderful sailing Chanel .And since I was born in Friesland,Perfection at its best.
What Joy to be a guest on Magic Carpet!!!
Fantastic episode again! Lovely and good voiceover of Maya lifted this video to a proffesional level! Super!!! Thanks!
Ohhhh!!! ...you slipped "Lovely " in !!! ....so fun !! ...enjoy !!
Wonderful episode. As always. Thanks for uploading. Fair winds.
We could feel your joy. Sailing and being on the water is true freedom.
It has to be fantastic to be at an anchorage where
you start playing ,everybody turns Off the radio and listen to you. Hapend to me similar somebody playing a bagpipe in the Bahamas.☺
Thank you, Maya and Aladino, for sharing with us your adventure.
Definately exquisite filming, beautiful light, and people.
Ah the options you have when you live on a sailboat. You can pretty much sail with the wind to please Anika and the temperature cold for Maya or warm for Luca. You can actually sail a lot or a little. One of the things I enjoy about the videos is seeing the subscribers number getting closer to 100K every week. Great job and thank you so much for sharing.
You make my Fridays better. Days like these and your videos keep me longing for getting my own boat ready for the season.
Makes me want to sail the dutch shores. Glad you took us along with you.
just do it. you're more than welcome.
That was fabulous. An experience not to be missed. We have just purchased our first yacht after years of inland cruising in the U.K. At our ages, there is lots of room for trepidation, but episodes like yours make it all go away. Thank you Magic Carpet.

What a nice surprise message from your friends. I feel like doing the same thing after every video.
Thank you, I have motored from Aalst to Amsterdam with our Dutch friends. In the outer reaches of the waterways, there is a toll to open bridges which helps pay for the bridge operator and that is collected as you said but on a pole which has the CLOG attached by a rope and swung out to the boat to collect the toll.
What a lovely episode. Thanks!
What a beautiful well done video guys, that was so lovely with the music 🎶and the wonderful landscape. Take care and. Be safe.😎👍
I really love hearing your stories, and your selections of music. Great videos.
And I am caught up to real time. Thank you both, and all your friends and patrons, for the wonderful reminder of what I am missing so very badly.
If liking the videos really helps then I gave you a solid hands up.

Thank you so much Tim!! We really really appreciate it!
I whole heartedly agree with the comment made by the kind gentleman @2.47! And, as always, the BEST sailing videos are found ONLY on this channel!
So amazing as always! I wish you would play your violin in every episode! I’m extremely impressed!
A channel so wonderful, beautiful vistas and story to enjoy, living life, enjoying life!
Thankyou for another beautiful & enchanting visit on Magic Carpet..
Those long focus drone shots are wonderful and those long waterways must have once been amazing full of tall-ship sails to the horizon.
Every Friday you make great Videos, Music and Comments.
Magic Carpet is my Favorit Sailingchanel.
Great Cinema every Week!!!!!
Thanks for this.
(Sorry, my english is not the best)
Greatings from Germany
Beautiful poetic narration as always! Really look forward to Fridays so I can watch your latest episode.
Magical as always maya. Transporting us after a long week. All the best to you and aladino
Always very lovely well produced episode. Brings such a calming atmosphere.
Beautiful! I like your films as much for the music as anything else and this one was particularly enjoyable. Thank you.
What a beautiful day, the Netherlands and Friesland is almost the perfect place to learn to sail before taking to the high seas. You have lovely friends.
Thank you, for this enjoyable episode - as always a most welcomed start in the weekend!
Thankyou for another wonderful adventure 👍🇦🇺
You should go inland Friesland even further. Maybe even more beautiful. Hope we will see that part in an other great episode.
Loved loved loved the violin music throughout. Great job
You really know how to make friends enjoy living! (living=sailing?) Love these vlogs
I never imagined subscribing to a sailing channel for the original music, but even if I didn't enjoy the sailing content, I'd probably stick around for the tunes.
so nice. thanks for sharing a beautiful trip.
Super video, like the rest I leave it with a smile. Well done you two, thanks for sharing!
Still being in a strict lockdown, this is the second best way to travel! We just discovered your channel and subscribed. Love it!
Great video as always but this was a little more special as you were very close to where my roots once were. Friesland will always be home. Greetings from Alberta my other home were spring may be trying to break through. Stay safe all.
Thank you! That was beautiful!
Wonderful as always, BUT, when I was in the Navy sailing with the fenders dangling outboards was worth a nice bottle of champagne !
Great video and thanks for to up close images of Magic Carpets hardware.....xxx
This episode made my day better.
15:10 You're one of the few that really wait for the green light when you got the red-green
My weekly moment of peace and serenity... Thank you both... :-))) xx
Brilliant video
An absolute joy, thank you
Many bridges in the Netherlands are remote operated, so, the "klomp aan een hengel" is most times something from the past.
Kind regards Christiaan
There‘s one in Makkum harbour as you enter the canals...
Thank you hope to see your friends again soon on the own
Maya, you look so beautiful in the golden hour light around 16:00 of the video. Thanks for a pleasant day sail!
Dear M and A
You shall be very welcome in Denmark,
hope to see you here.
So cheerful people!!
Awesome trip with nice friends.
Thanks for a lovely birthday present video tonight, as always there's always something wonderful about the narrative 😀
Bravo! Loved the editing and the Music. Thumbs Up!
Thanks // great video // Your getting close to 100K Sail On ,,,
Keep on the Dutch magic carpet sailing
A very nice video, thank you!
I loved the music on this episode.
True Conscientious friends 💘
Loving your vlogs... but lol sailing with your fenders out..." like a Falmouth town quay hire boat" lol xx
Absolutely the best sailing vids out there you two make a great couple and a terrific pair! That looked like a close pass coming out into the lake? Great drone footage!!
Thank-you for sharing. The lovely live music could have been longer. Cheers.
Sure I love your episodes.... looking forward for next week......
awesome episode, you could sell sailboats with your amazing footage and narration.
Really quality and beautiful video!
Awe how adorable!
THE PERFECT SAIL........
National Geographic quality video. I am converted to your 'weltanschauung'. I love Anneke!
"the call of the siren..."!
Bridges,
Those wonderfull contraptions that, most times, seem to open immediately whenever a small boat with a mast arrives.
As if the king is on board!
That's about how it will look for the car drivers that have to wait for the gates of the opened bridge.
So that's also why the Dutch sailors try to pass the bridge as fast as possible, not by using speed but by perfect timing.
The sailors first clue are the gates closing for the cars.
Now adjust your speed so you'll be at the bridge when the bridge is almost fully open.
The speed at which the bridge opens helps you to adjust your speed.
Officially you have to wait until the red light goes out, but most times we are already passing the bridge when that happens.
By shortening the time the bridge is open we HOPE the car drivers don't get aggravated, and the bridge keeper is willing to let us pass quickly next time. Also it's just nice for everyone when they don't have to wait unnecessarily for us.
Charming couple.
Always enjoy your vlog.
Dam good , raised my spirits and buoyed my soul. The thumbs down can only be a desperately poor soul
