    Have you ever seen phosphorescence like this before? We couldn't believe it! Even with all the lights of the town, it was SO bright -- like the ocean had suddenly become neon paint!

      @petergreen3381 Год назад +14

      Saw plenty of it in my years as a deck officer but weirdest experience with it was on a ship working off west Africa. The wheelhouse toilet had a sea water flush and at night you got got a mini fireworks display!

      Very occasionally, I've seen it in the waves breaking on a beach in the UK, and a few other times. I'm 46 and have been afloat most of my life . That was so cool!

      Oh, that was SO beautiful! It reminded me of a night, nearly 30 years ago, when I swam in phosphorescence like that on Little Trib Beach on Hornby Island in BC. It was so incredibly magical. Each sweep of my arm while I swam created a spiraling trail of light. Even my hair drifting in the water caused the water to light up. I'll never forget it.

      Not blue…more of a silver twinkling while swimming off Anna Maria Island, FL. Mesmerizing.

      I have here in Hawaii, in shallow water, where you could see every footstep glowing blue. I have also seen the northern lights, and your comparison is absolutely correct. Magical, mesmerizing, and magnificent. The only other thing I’ve seen that I would put in the same category, is lava, up close, here in Hawaii. Beautifully amazing. Love your videos. Aloha.

    Seeing the Swedish coast makes my heart happy. I had a Swedish ‘brother’ an exchange student I met in 1966. I went sailing on the west coast of Sweden 5 times. I recognized so much that you videotaped. He has summerhouse near Lysekil. I lost him to cancer this last August. I will miss the sailing and the Swedish people. Maybe another trip to sail with his son. Enjoy every moment on a boat. Steve

    Your videos are getting more and more beautiful every week! Between Aladino’s superb craftsmanship and Maya’s equally superb videography and music choices, your videos equal or surpass anything put out by mainstream producers. That was just sublime!

    7:20 That's in Sweden? I had no idea that phosphorescent algae could be found so far North. As for selling MC. Whoever takes her on knows without a doubt just how well and even brilliantly it's been taken care of. It is hard to let go of the past sometimes. Just remember Nothing will disturb the memories you both have from her.

  • @judykinsman3258

  • @markbernier8434
    @markbernier8434 Год назад +15

    I've never seen phosphorescence like that amazing to see and also impressive that the camera can record it. Bittersweet about selling Magic Carpet. I am sure her new owners will be impressed even after months of living on her finding little thoughtful details that Aladino put into her.

  • @donnarocchio936
    @donnarocchio936 Год назад +5

    Thank you, these last two videos have been like a complete Mental Health session. Between Mya's gentle voice overlays and the beautiful scenic views, I have come away refreshed. I have enjoyed being in the moment and reminded that taking the time to slow down is what we need to learn to do more of to keep the balance in today's world. Aladino's walks along the rocks with the soothing music you have chosen just to calm the mind. I to will miss Magic Carpet should the potential sale go through. It only means that Magic Carpet ll, is truly getting closer to new adventures of its own.

    Anything worth having is worth passing along. Being stewards of a thing, and then seeing it go to a new steward, is a blessing.
    I had the great fortune of passing my most prized possession to my son. I hope I live to see him enjoy passing it to his child.

    Magic Carpet is a Beautiful Boat! Now the Magic Carpet you Both are working on will be Beautiful as well! She is already taking shape! Thank you for sharing your Beautiful video with us and can't wait for more! I truly understand the bittersweet and mixed emotions as you both go through this transition! My Heart goes out to both of you!

    So good to see Maya back to herself in voice and movement! This is a happy channel once again. You are two rather nice people! Children playing with the phosphorescence 😄 Really special closing music; I'd love to know what it is... You guys are the Jonna Jinton and Johan of the sea!

    @ericcommarato7727 Год назад +15

    When you really think about it, we are just stewards of those things we possess. Those things are passed on to other stewards, whom we hope will cherish them as much as we did. You and Aladino have been great stewards of The Magic Carpet through the last 4-5 years I have watched his channel waiting on the edge of my seat for every Friday for a new installment. I’m sure you will find a worthy steward for her next voyage.

  • @jonathanscott550
    @jonathanscott550 Год назад +7

    Very nice and peaceful to watch. Not boring Peaceful. Nothing dramatic or that jumps out at you. It shows you both a peace and enjoying yourselves in the magical scenery. This Boat is a beauty in her own and I truly hope the new owners when you get them treat Magic Carpet as the Lady she is. Aladino is right in saying this is a part of moving forward and as you already have Magic Carpet 2 now the separation won't be as rough as if you did not have a boat to go home to. Yes Magic Carpet 1 will be missed another art piece by Aladino, Miya I guess now you have the time needed
    to play your music which must be so peaceful and calming for you.
    Looing forward to next video stay safe

  • @kschlo4work
    @kschlo4work Год назад +5

    Phosphorescense seems to accompany my most memorable times on the water-including an amazing night my husband and I spent on our sailboat near Blake Island in Puget Sound. That night included a visit from a whale, a meteor shower, and morning fog which cleared just in time for a solar eclipse. But I've never seen phosphorescence as bright as what you saw! I hope it's a good omen for the future of Magic Carpet I and your future with Magic Carpet II.

    I like how Aladino says about the potential sale of MC 'and hopefully the sale goes through because we haven't put too much effort into it' apart from a brilliant repair and resoration job, and lovingly cared for and enjoyed since then, Such a special thing to ensure the boat finds a new owner to care for her and let others enjoy the good days and more challenging ones too.

    One season sailing in the Florida Keys we saw very bright phosphorescence. We took the dink out for a spin and the glow shone through the dink and exploded away aft in the wake as we motored through the water. We often see the glow in the Pacific Northwest in the San Juans and the Gulfs, but in a muted way, and never to compare with that summer in Florida.

    phosphorescence is beautiful, especially when sailing through it at night, having dolphins accompany you makes it even more magical, I've been fortunate enough to have experienced that, I'll never forget it.
    People say the day you sell a boat is one of the happiest days of your life, it's not true, well for me at least, it's more like having a loved one leave, you know where they are going will give them a better life but you know you may never see them again, it's very emotional. Magic Carpet 1 is probably sold now so I guess you know how you felt.
