While there are several different sailing channels that offer just as interesting and compelling a story as yours, none tell them with the same kind of grace and skill. It's clear that you value the way you tell your story just as much, if not more, than the story itself. Choice of music, shot selection, and narration all seamlessly come together to provide your viewer with this rich experience. It is not lost on me how much work it must take to make your videos look like like they take no work at all.
In a world as confused and difficult as the one we all find ourselves living in today, your channel provides a much needed respite and shows how "simple" life can really be.
Boy I’ll second that. Very,poetic and descriptive
@@davelemieux6144 I'll third it
I wonder why most of the time, true, honest, and humanly channels are not as popular.
The moment I get close to the answer, I block my thoughts, as they tend to darkness.
Regardless I keep moving, following you and alike, and hopping for better universal future.
Fair winds, keep up. Love you both!
Thyborøn, pressure on last syllable. ;-) A thybo is a resident of Thy, a place north of the Limfjord. A røn is some kind of land, not excactly an island but rather close, or it might mean small house/village. Nice video. First to comment, hurra.
Interesting. Being Spanish I thought it meant shark. As it does for us. (Spelled Tiburón) That fact, made me think those markers or memorials were shark fins. Themed accordingly to the name I mistakenly thought was the same. It seemed to fit with the whimsical buildings. Whose roofs were fashioned to look like the hull of an upside down boat. Thank you for the lesson.
You two have an extraordinary filming ability to make us viewers feel as crew or friends on board MC1, sharing sailing experiences, refitting works, visiting interesting places, feeling the same emotions, sharing joys, fears, friendship... Thank you for your generous hospitality. Ciao, B.V.
Poetry in motion as always.
That final shot of Magic Carpet from the dock really shows the shine of the varnish and deck paint. The boat looks beautiful.
You are gifted in this special way of sharing sailing life. Artistic excellence is all ways a treat. Highest Blessings
I remember the interesting habits of a Cal 20 between Southern California and the Channel Islands. Call it empathy.
Great content! Many thanks.
Used to do long passages with my 25ft folkboat, in the Baltic Sea. So the movement in a small boat for days on end, and not being able to shower during that time are still remembered as not the nicest parts of a sailing adventure. But it was fun, and I´m very glad that I have all those memories. Great adventure to follow this, and make the most of all sailing possibilities as long as you are young because time passes quickly. So glad that I found your channel, this is the one to follow this coming winter.
I just put a comment on today that I had a Contessa 26 ( a plastic Folkboat) I had a Folkboat before her, East German and very basically equipped. I pretty much taught myself to sail in her on the West Coast of Scotland. I know how you feel as I was seventy this year and I fear next year will be my last year sailing. I sail a plastic French boat now with all the mod cons but she will never have the place in my heart that my little Contessa has. My hips are letting me down now even with one being titanium. Good luck and enjoy the memories.
I (74 yr old) agree completely........ Enjoy the adventure!
You guys make me miss my old vintage McGregor 25, Martini Time. Though we only piddled around Lake Guntersville with it, your videos open the dreams of possibilities of adventures! I enjoy every minute! Hopeless romantic and kindred spirit here in the dirty South ;-)
It's good to get back to Maya's musical choices. It's like a music appreciation class. Thank you!
Thank you so much for mentioning Denmark a small country but has so much sailing history and I really appreciate you took a time to make a video out of it
Spoken from a Danes 🇩🇰
that beautiful smal country is 5 times bigger than where her ancestors came from… 😏 farwel! spoken from a Dutch guy 🇳🇱
Meanwhile I really can relate to the anoyance when handstearing only by compass or wind indicator ... on one of my last night passages I could use the stars as orientation points ... so much better than the compass 😀
Wow, those old ships were amazing to see. Especially Thalasa.
What a wonderful video! I live my sailing life vicariously through you. The narration and videography is so nicely woven into a great story. Maya I miss your violin solo at the end. You have to be the happiest couple on the open ocean. Fair winds and following seas. Rob
Thank you so much Rob, we really appreciate the kind words!
Thank you again and again for these floating poems. Thank you for the lovely violin and thank you for the crispy fish and chips.
Kirsten is doing great on the Cape George in the GGR.
Yes, and as the only woman in the race, we are cheering her on. A few of her fellow race participants have acknowledged that Kirsten's choice of the Cape George 36 may just give her an edge in speed over most of the other boats in this race. Kirsten took her time in choosing this particular make and model: Maya and Aladino will smile knowingly...
What a man Nicho Hynes!!!A well mannered,humble man! His speech shows why he is now up there! Because of knowing who he is and those that has been there for him!!!One that some people forget when getting to their destination.Wishing you Nicho all the best in the future,you legend
The Magic Carpet channel flourishes while cruising. It's such a pleasure to share the travels vicariously with Aladino and Maya.
Many thanks to Maya and Aladino, who find the way to keep bringing us big breaths of fresh air, now with a sweet Scandinavian flavor.
I absolutely ADORE the snippet of music in your intro! So very clever!
I have found in my many years of sailing that sometimes the vessel can handle the challenges of a voyage better than the crew.
Thats probably about the truest comment in here. I am taking sailing courses on my 28ft and everytime I go oh crap, the boat just keeps trucking while we hang on for dear life and the instructor is sitting there calmly. He's been sailing for around 60 years and told us that we have a tough old boat and to trust it.
Sheesh even your seasick videos are fun, well written, beautifully filmed, and have lovely music. My favorite sailing channel by far!
Thank you so much Rory, that means a lot to us!
Dear Rory.
👍👌👏 Well said, Sir, well said indeed. I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. 😁 ;-)
Best regards, luck and health.
Really enjoyed the music during this weeks video.... Keep sailin.... John and Penny.... Ontario, Canada....
Maya, your poetic story telling is such a pleasure to listen to and in a world full of stress, both of your gentle souls are a balm to watch and journey alongside.
In 1956 a hard weather year, a Greek Sailor, Savvas Georgiou with his American wife Su, were crossing (on honeymoon) for first time a 28 feet boat from New York to Athens. They survived a Hurricane and the whole trip was a very hard experience. As I was his student on sailing, I am sure he would not repeat it for second time. Of course during that time the weather could not predicted as happens today but I am sure it will be a hard experience and challenge.
The wonderful relatively shallow seas of the North Sea mean that despite its size you don’t get the long ocean swells of the Atlantic Ocean and hence the shorter and nastier wave period.
But you saved so much time over going thru the Keel canal it was worth it …
Cheers Warren
Ahhhhhh, how refreshing it is to follow along with you. You are in a lovely part of the world!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
First big sail of the year always takes some getting used to :-)
I need to say that one of the things that drew me to you guys was the occasional playing of music. I can't get enough of that. Now, after getting to know you, I'm drawn to the fact that you two are such sweet people. That said, I miss the music.
I’m not a sailor but enjoy your current journey. I also enjoy your craftsmanship, patiently waiting to see the finished Magic Carpet II.
Always wait for your posts. They are enchantingly put together high lighted by your glorious command of language. They are precious gems.
Thank you so much Mike, that means a lot
Wow beautiful safe harbor and lovely scenery. 👍👍👍⛵️⛵️💕
Thanks for watching and commenting Kathleen :)
I like the way you phrased the one with the ocean comment with a wry smile, sometimes there's no beating or denying it.
Yeah! I did it 2 handed 12 years ago in a 28fter. Big heavy gaffer. Great fun.
In the ‘60s some Englishman sailed across the North Sea in a ‘Wayfarer’ dinghy!❤
Watching closely as we plan to take the same route next summer. Great inspiration, good editing and lovely music!
My name is Eduardo and I am writing from Ceuta (Spain) in the Strait of Gibraltar, a big hug, I just subscribed to your channel and I found it very authentic, so I'm going to start watching your previous videos and catch up.
Particularly noticing and enjoying the music for the segment beginning at 18:08. :0)
Background music in all of these videos, is so good and well chosen for the certain moments.
Your Poetic narration has always brought such solace and comfort....BRILLIANT!
It can feel your excitement for 😀being back to sea. I did some sail when I was younger and enjoy traveling with you on Magic Carpet.
1000 likes. I can't wait to see this part of your guys' journey.
Looking forward to see you sail the Limfjord. I spent all my summers growing up in Nyköping Mors where my father came from. It’s a very lovely place. Bon voyage ♥️
hi to you both.
I'm originally from NZ. Live in DK now Arhus. Have just (June 2022) aquired a Najad 390. A go everywhere Blue water.
Your vids are inspiring me to take off and expolr the Baltic.
You are getting very good at this. Visually stunning leaving Makkum, together with narrative and editing. It's as if you've reincarnated David Lean as your onboard director.
Wow, thank you so much Tim!! Really, really appreciate your kind words, that means a lot to us :)
Wow, you sure did see some tall ships! Thanks for including them.
Somehow, this whole journey together, I had not realized Magic Carpet was only 28 feet - sure looks larger on video.
Getting a little nostalgic while Im in Odessa, Ukraine watching a video about you sailing in my home country. A little comment regarding watch: My experience is the longer watches, the better. It gives you possiblity to tke care of yourself (personal hygene, eat etc) and get e decent sleep. Rest is always in deficit on a long passage (For me it was often 4-6 weeks without seing land) When I was sailing on a Ocean going Tug boat we had 6h/6h or 8h/4h watches
The violin music is so beautiful..
Looking forward to your canal trip. Your river/canal trip thru Europe was terrific
Such a grand adventure captured so well. Love that you are back on the seas!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us. And can’t wait until MC2 splashes.
I watch several cruiser channels and enjoy yours by far the most. Whether you are working on a boat, talking about a boat or sailing one I look forward to my Friday evenings. Thank you.
As someone who just moved to the netherlands, for the exact reason you could see in every video from you guys in the past year, it is truly amazing to see these ships time after time
I really love your videos. Mia’s poetic, thoughtful and peaceful narration is mesmerizing. The music you choose is beautiful. Violin music, my favorite.
Thank you so much John, I'm so happy you enjoy the videos, and thank you for taking the time to comment! Just a quick note, my name is actually Maya :)
You are doing such a good job editing these videos !!! Je me souviens des canaux en France… je pense que cette série va être aussi bonne ! Merci à vous ! Thanks you so much !!
Lovely to be back sailing again .
This was great, so professionally done…..the violin was amazing too!
Such a beautiful narration style, my wife and I look forward to each new episode. The way you both interact and speak is refreshing and delightful. Have been watching from the beginning. Greetings from the Gold Coast Australia.
I liked the video. I think your narration with your voice is wonderful.
Thank you so much Paul :)
You are an excellent story teller and I enjoy sailing along with you on all your adventures. It seems that North Sea in a 28ft boat was a good idea after all.
Lovely both the sailing as well the strings.
Need to get your stings for my offshore time.
A very nautical place with a rough past history, may it stay peaceful.
So different than south Florida where I sailed for years. I liked your landing in Denmark and seeing you both rested and happy. It will be more enjoyable I'm sure with a larger boat. i had a Northstar 34 ft sailboat - great boat!!
North sea in a twenty eight foot boat? No worries, I love small boats, I call it the 'bobbing cork theory'. You will survive almost anything when larger boats have problems. I even crossed the Atlantic, five thousand miles, no problem. The more experience you get the more confidence you will have in your boat....Just replace the rigging every ten years, its important!
3:35 These traditional Dutch sailing barges were used upto around the 20’s/30’s of the last century.... the smaller ones for fishing the longer ones for transport of cargo.... the latter ones usually sailed by man and wife.... liveaboards, travelling as far as way up the Norwegian coast, the Baltic, the UK and the French shore!!.....
Because they mostly didn’t own a house (costing money) they were among the last people commercially sailing such smal vessels succesfully in Western Europe.
Most of them are realy shallow draft (no keel whatsoever!) but are realy fast,also upwind (long waterline,little wetted area)
Every year in Friesland there is a huge competition called ‘Skutsjesylen’ definitely worth looking up on TH-cam!!
You are sailing the journey I plan to sail myself one day starting in Delfzijl....
I wish you many safe and joyful journeys!!!
Kind Regards,Henk Tulp,the Netherlands.

You had a safe passage. Have some fun, I love watching you. I am saving towards my own boat it seems like forever so watching you guy's is the next best thing.
We plan to go that way in two years on our trawler. We can’t wait as it looks amazing.
Good job Aladdin and Maya, I am so glad you are back navigating and taking a brake from refitting the sailing magic II after two years I am so happy to enjoy this new big adventure you’re in going to Scandinavia.
Incredible sight to see those square rigger ships under sail from close bye👍
So great to see you both on the water again, fair winds, flat seas and loads of sun and adventure is all I wish for you special folks
Glad to see that your North Sea passage was semi-eventless and reasonably calm compared to what it could have been. Only individuals that have experienced that can guess what you have felt during the trip, but it’s easy for anyone to understand that a “warm shower” always feels good after a long trip where it’s challenging or very difficult to get one. I’m looking forward to seeing some of the sites that you can share with us and please include the history of any sites you see if it’s known. Safe travels and stay healthy.
Glad to see you cross the North sea without too much difficulty! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Its nice to see you two sailing😎
Magic Carpet 1 is such a beautiful boat. It makes all the sailing that so much more enjoyable. The videos and music are very mesmerizing to the watch and listen to. Thanks!!
Agree with comments below regarding exceptional quality of this. The visual flow the narrative and the lyrical flow are woven delightfully. Someone is either very professional or has a remarkable natural talent. Thankyou!
Could not find you this summer to support you, you were in my country this year. well nice to see your video of how you were looking and discover my land.
I Was very happy with the crossing they made and that they were safe. Greetings from Brazil
Love the way you tell the story of your passage across the North Sea. That comfort scale on sailing craft is excellent. Glad to know that information. It gives us a very nice and educated understanding of what you're dealing with. Your background choice of music is very tasteful. Really do like it. Y'all work so well together.
In my cruising I also noticed that under sail was light years more stable with less pitch and less roll than under engine power. The sails pull you through the wave while the motor pushes you over…..
Fish and Chips after a long passage……. Heavenly bliss!
The serious sailing starts when Mayas red beanie makes an appearance.😊
this is one of the best personal documentation on cruises I've ever seen. Good job. ONE LIFE - LIVE IT
Welcome to Denmark, I hope you will enjoy your sailing trough the Limfjord
I liked this one! The sea state looked perfect for your adventure across the North Sea!
About 4.30 in and presented with all those old time sailing craft , thought I saw something resembling a Viking ship , one looked like a tall masted square rig thinking will the Black Pearl sail past with Depp hanging in the rigging.🤔😳😜
Best narrated sailing channel on TH-cam. You guys really separate yourselves by your approach of your calmness and explanation of sailing and life. Thank you for another great Vlog! By the way, what kind of sunglasses are those Maya? Aviators? Revos?
Thyborøn remines me of the quant little sea ports on the coast of Newfoundland, especially, when you go up north and visit L'Anse aux Meadows. Love how they flipped those ole ships upside down and used them as roofs for ole merchant shops. That's pretty cool if you ask me. Back in those days they reused everything they didn't let nothing go to waste.
Herzlichen Dank! Die Poesie in euren Videos hat etwas Magisches - und bitte entschuldigt; ich war zu faul um das alles auf Englisch zu verfassen. Aladino versteht sicher, was hier steht. Ihr seid beide ganz tolle Charaktere und es ist ein Freude, euren Geschichten zu folgen.
DANKE!
The North Sea crossing was interesting. For a fairly large body of water it seems very busy and congested, dodging wind farms and shipping lanes. Glad the passage was adjusted to well. You will have much longer passages in your future.
sure, but less industrial assess.
My heart leapt out of my chest at the sight of the tall ships at sea under sail. I drive by one every day here in San Diego (Star of India) but, to see such a beautiful ship doing what it's meant to do is just glorious 👍
Interesting! We left Makkum May 21st and island hopped as far a Helgoland but with poor weather predicted by the time we got there we headed through the beautiful river Eider and the last part of the Kiel canal to the Baltic (instead of taking your route) and on to the incredibly lovely island of Aerø (June 12th). As it happened, the pre-season was wonderfully quiet and we had plenty of room in the old harbour of Aerøskøbing despite everything we‘d read/heard about overcrowding…. That probably changes in July but we ended our 6 week trip back in NL then, to avoid the season‘s crowds. The Danish islands were the highlight of our trip 😍 Next season we hope to get further to Sweden & Norway 👍
Lovely scenes, hosts and music. Always a pleasurable and interesting experience.travel safely.
A lovely seafaring bedtime story, with beautiful moving pictures to enhance each word
Windmills at not-so-deep-see (less then 40m) almost always stand on jackets, those are one or three pipes (often with holes against forces from the current) being jacked into the soil. with large rocks on top of the soil so the loose sand doesn't wear away with the current. The depth of those jackets into the soil varies greatly, because boring under water is expensive as hell, and also not healthy for the wildlife.
Also people tent to get the least seasick at a rollingtime between 8 and 10 sec
Me being a Dutch man. I absolutely loved this. I left Holland we n I was 3. Very long time ago.
Beatiful how you edit the videos. It feels so good to watch. I thought drive around the irland Elba with a Kajak is a adventure. Ok it was an adventure for my wife and me. But what you both do, is impressive.
What a great crossing. However I didn't get seasick, so i probably enjoyed it a bit more. So lovely to be back on the water. Thyberon...such a lovely place. I used to live in Tiberon in CA. Sounds similar at first. Always enjoy your music.
Night watch sounds a lot like being a new parent 😂
Thankyou for the real nice tune at the end of the Video.
Peter
Beautifully done video. Steady camera, soft voice and quiet music. There are too many videos with hyper over the top voices, very fast shots and scenery that is changing every few seconds. This one is an example of how a good video is made. Joy to watch.
Well presented lovely warm vocals.
Thank you again for a lovely vignette of your travels.
Always a Magic Moment when Magic Carpet shows up.
Thanks for watching and commenting Rick :)
