On our way to the Mediterranean! [Ep. 3]

  • After four years in the boatyard following her tragic accident, Magic Carpet sets sail once again! Now that she can float, we transported her to Basel, Switzerland, where we will start the long canal journey through France out to the Mediterranean.
    I didn't have as much time to make this episode, because we're still frantically doing last minute preparations for the canal journey. However, I hope it's still enjoyable -- the spectacular sight of a Vindo 32 under sail is usually enough to capture a boat lover's attention!

    I've been watching a few of your latest videos so I had to go back and start from the beginning to get the history of the boat. Aladino has done an amazing job on the Vindo 32. Such beautiful lines and a very worthy cause to restore. I know that Maya came in towards the end of the project and she compliments Magic Carpet and Aladino marvelously and of course she is so much more than a pretty face because with out her, we wouldn't have had these wonderful videos documenting the entire endeavor. It's great to see the younger generation working so hard to realize their dreams. Like you, I am an avid fan of Delos, La Vagabonde and others. And now I can ad SMC to that list. I am inspired! Well done, keep up the good work!

    So I just started following you guys the story about three or four months ago. This is the first time I’ve watched this video where you guys actually got to sell her for the first time. The smile on Aladino’s face is absolutely awesome. You can just tell that he’s so happy to actually be sailing this work of art he has labored on for over four years now, and seeing his work come to life that joy comes out in his face as he’s sailing in this first video.

    The old owners must be thrilled knowing she lives to sail again. Our vessels have their own identity and soul. The loss of a vessel is actually heartbreaking. It's like losing a member of the family. Bravo for keeping her alive!!!

    Hi you two- I've been sailing 50 yrs (where did that go!) built a lot of boats big and small and still work with big ones. I've watched a lot of Vlogs on sailing and most are a bit smug (can I say that?) yes they are.. a bit too self congratulating (ok why not). Anyway yours is not as you are just 'you' are great story tellers without trying to be someone else. They are very informative too. I started watching the last third but am hooked enough to start at the beginning. I look forward to the journeys ahead and will be doing the same journey very soon (from UK.south). You are doing a great job entertaining us - so go on be a little smug yourselves .. you've earned it! Thanks.

    • @SailingMagicCarpet
      @SailingMagicCarpet  6 лет назад +1

      Roy Clare Thank you so so much. We may even do a separate FAQ video on the flag thing... everyone is so curious! It's basically a flag of convenience. The Netherlands has very little bureaucracy and it is a simple, cheap, and straightforward flag to register. The Swiss flag is infinitely more complicated, and the Canadian flag has some restrictions for long term cruising around Europe. Plus, i liked it better than other flags of convenience, like cayman islands or panama. My family is all Dutch on my Dad's side and I still have a lot of relatives in Amsterdam who I visit, so there's a connection there.
