Your videos are so beautifully produced and in my opinion, done with more 'Class' than anything out there. Clean and really fun to watch. My mind never wanders because your stories are so good at keeping the viewer engaged with pure quality content. The marriage of your violin with B roll is not only unique to your channel, but the best thought out combination I see anywhere. I loved the violin as the camera panned across the classic European architecture . . . Just beautiful. You two are really good at this and really fun to follow. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
@@SailingMagicCarpet the ✉ letters you mail📬 ooooh how i hope the recipients SAVE them and you turn them into a book "LETTERS FROM SEA" I can not wait to buy your book
Beautiful location and loved this video! Thankyou for sharing such wonderful special places that now I may never see... only time will tell. take care and fair weather and fair winds may they be yours.. I am with you! love cakes & pasteries
can't stop enjoying your videos - I'm addicted (A good thing!) I'm sure you are light years more experienced in sailing than I am, but here goes anyway: maybe I've not looked carefully, but I've not seen a boom gybe preventer installed on a magic carpet (Bravo to whoever thought of that name . . . a winner!)
You should make a video showing all the different cloud types you see and the weather you encounter sailing along with those types of clouds. Talking about temperature, I had a friend, who came to Canada from Africa, comment that we were so blessed economically to have our winter snow because it forces the government to get jobs done before the snow falls.
Not only are you still the cutest couple ever; but your video production skills have become extraordinary! Between the video and the soundtracks and Mayas beautiful violin, You continue to outdo yourselves. Happy new year to you both and cheers
The production quality, narration, video content...are all just wonderful. I truly appreciate your time and sharing your adventures. Been subscribed to your channel for a long time and look forward to each and every upload. Love you guys, mean it!!
Good grief! What an enormous improvement the wonderful city Shaka?? with its ceramics and its great marina was/is compared to the trash beach last time. Thank heavens. A simply wonderful video with very beautiful footage again and as always. Nearly unbeliiievably clear turquoise water with white sand. Simply a dream... sigh! In my opinion respectively for my personal kind of taste this definitely is THE first class top quality sailing channel and meanwhile the only one I watch. Thank you very much for making, taping, narrating and editing so extremely well. Also for uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
I had forgotten how much your fiddle playing added a wonderful element to your sailing. And you are a Canadian, as am I here in Vermont. Please share what part of Canada you call your home.
Happy New Year !!! and Buon Vento....! Excellent video, as usual....... nice to watch summer videos while it is winter outside....... + I'm making plans and study routes for sailing next summer.....: first some maintenance to ODYSSEA in March/April and then off for western Cyclades, Crete and the Peloponnese in June..... I wish you the best for 2020
Hello from New York, Happy New Year to you both. Thank you for the informative take along. Love your violin and the nautical explanation provided as to why you do things. I live on an island but sadly very little experience or exposure to sail boats. Some thing you had said in one of your previous videos concerned ocean pollution and how to combat it best was to have or develop a relationship with the ocean. You both are providing that experience and awareness for me. Thank you . I had no idea the ocean was so clean and clear and at the same time so dirty with plastic. Looking into how to best impact that here at home. Several beaches do winter clean up programs with volunteers. I have signed up for several. Looking forward to your next adventure.
This comment brings me so much joy and hope. The fact that our videos could've inspired you to get involved with beach cleanups etc where you live is beyond amazing. THANK YOU!! Your actions will now inspire others!!
Thank you!! They’re wooden glasses from a small company named yacht club accessories - the guy who owns the company is a subscriber and he sent us these glasses!! I love them!
Love the violin in your episodes! I often think of playing an instrument on SV Brick House, but I never seem to get very far with learning an instrument. So I guess we will just continue with the boring diy sailing videos ;) Yep...sometimes you just have to go...despite the weather report. Just prepare for passage and go! Do you use Predictwind on the Iridium GO, or regular internet, or do you have another method? -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Looking at your anchorage just east of Punta Sottile Light, "Magic Carpet" was photographed from an orbiting photographic satellite and has been immortalised on Google Earth. In the area where you were anchored, you can see the small rowboat (11:39 seconds) next to the rocks and the blue bimini on your yacht. Safe passage to you both. :)
Hy David! That would have been fun! I went check but I am pretty sure it is not us.. Seen from above the boat is too bright and our dinghy is nowhere, so must have been another boat! Thx though:) ~aladino
@@SailingMagicCarpet Hiya Aladino - Happy New Year to you both and thanks for you reply. The yacht shown on Google Earth has the dinghy on its stern across the transom. ;) x
This is so amazing truly a magical life you live! How do you afford to travel? Do you work when you stop along your journey or do you work mostly online so can operate anywhere in the world! I ask as I am in a 9-5 job so I cannot see myself following your life any time soon.
Thank you Daryl! We began the trip by saving up and then also working in the winters. As we were doing that, we were also working on building the TH-cam channel and our Patreon account, which are now our main sources of income. Anything is possible, especially when you're lucky enough to come from countries where you can find decently paid jobs that allow you to save.
I enjoyed your video. I noticed your halyard(?) rope. Are they 12 or 14 mm? 12 mm is easy to come by but I found it difficult to find a supplier for the 14 mm braided polyester line - unless picking it up at sky high marina boat supply prices. Can you advise one?
I just notice the ensign on your yacht. Is that Croatia-Slovenia? Thanks for another interesting video. The only complaint is that the Sicilian pastries look exceptionally delicious. Now I have to go and eat!
I'm from Canada also and I would not last 5 min in that heat // I think the first mate is rite when it comes to what is nice weather and what is to damm hot, hehe hehe anyway nice sail , take care
Hello from Canada! My wife and I really enjoy your videos. It helps us survive the winter while we're on the hard 😢. We're planning on crossing the pond at some point and cruise the Med. Just curious, what is the average price for a night in a marina in the med? Do you use a cruising guide or just go by word of mouth? Keep up the great videos! Cheers! Bryan
Hello Bryan! Glad you enjoy the videos😊 As for the price...it would help knowing what size boat you two have. As of planning we are pretty spontaneous. We knew wen want to go around Sicily for example. but because of not planning every Anchorage, that gives us freedom to go wherever we hear of smth nice . The prevailing winds are part of the plan though..so we try to avoid beating against wind for longer periods when possible.. ~aladino
@@SailingMagicCarpet Hi Aladino, Thanks for the reply! I have a Ketch rigged 1967 Grampian Classic 31. Sicily is definitely on our radar! Cheers! Bryan

What a lucky couple you are . I’m 78 and now disabled . I enjoy your videos very much and love you both.
I really want to thank you for these uniquely rich and entertaining videos. And a little greeting from a former boat builder / repairman from Sweden.

Do you have wetsuits for colder waters?

For a minute there I thought she was going to say she got drunk off that pastry ...With all the liqueur in it ...

Yahooo!! 😁
I thought the mistral was only during winter and spring?
Hy Frank
It is most severe in winter but never fully dormant..
The mistral can blow all year and be carried all the way down to Sicily.
