Can we just stop for a moment to appreciate the insane level of cinematography, editing, story-telling, music score, etc... one of, if not the, best sailing channels out there... what a privilege to come along on the journey!
I have followed you all from the very beginning. Through all the stress and physical work, the highs and yes the too many lows you somehow were able to persevere as a couple. Strength through love ! So good on ya both!
Missing the big fellow a great man and a real good father. Mum is great a little shy in front of the camera. What you to have done is brilliant. I have followed you all the way, what a great journey. God bless you both>
You have captured the true essence and joy of coastal cruising. It is real soup for the soul. I am refitting my Sabre 38 at the moment and hopeful to be on the water this summer. Everything you shared in this episode are all the key motivating factors for me to press on. Thank you. You deserve the joy and tranquility of your hard work and perseverance.
I’m a sporadic watcher if I’m honest and the boat work took its toll on me too (as it did 100 fold on you pair)… I am however delighted to see the end result and the unabashed joy in your voice. It gives me hope for the trials we all go through in boat ownership. 😁👍🏻
Yes!! The "Magic" is back in Sailing Magic Carpet!!! So happy for both of you, and proud that you stuck it out thru the lows so you can now enjoy the highs! Bravo Zulu! Fair winds and following seas Magic Carpet II...
If we hadn't suffered with you, we couldn't properly rejoice with you. How lovely to see you practically swallowed up in kitchen space, happily dwelling in the home you've made!
So happy to hear your voice reflect an inner tranquillity again, Maya. And Aladino looks as if the weight of the world has been taken from his shoulders. Enjoy the fruit of your effort; you have earned it!
you might call it lovey dovey but thats what you do. things to make you other half happy. I would bet the it will turn into a treasured memory for you guys. I wish nothing but the best for you 2. I as so happy for you and love watching the 2 of you.
A life of travel to a life of seemingly endless work to a life of fun, play, travel while working on your dream life story. You are both truly blessed in so many ways, and we are all blessed that you continue to share your incredible story with us. Thank you always
You two must be very pleased after all the time and energy spent on the rebuild to be floating and enjoying your life again. Congratulations on a mamouth effort to being her back better than new again. Well done to you both. May you have fair winds and calm seas on your journey going forward. From Australia.
We are the lucky ones , so grateful that you share your endeavours on and off the water with great music, cinematography and your love for each other, thank you.
Our hearts are really light to see you out on the water. We had no doubt that Maya's joy would return quickly once sailing again. No doubt. We're looking forward to many adventures ahead! Namaste. 🙏
For the bread, use a Dutch oven casserole inside of the oven. Preheat for 15 minutes the Dutch oven in the oven, then put your bread dough and make cuts on the top of the dough before replacing the cover on the Dutch oven and it in the oven. Cook 2x15 minutes, rotating the dutch oven 180 deg after the first 15 minutes and then each time. After the first 30 minutes, remove the cover and leave cooking for 2x10 minutes, each time rotating 180 degs to get a uniform cooking. Et voilà! On Fabule I need to put the gaz oven to its maximum for the whole cooking of the bread. Don’t forget to preheat the Dutch oven as if you put the dough in the cold casserole the dough will stick to it.. Give us a picture if you do it. Fabule’s crew.
We live on a 55 Tayana with a 130 lb. Bernese Mountain Dog. He was raised on a boat and knows nothing about landline. I heard your parents have a BMD and that just warms my heart. There is just something magical about Berners.
That was adorable with the branch and snacks in the hankey.What a fantastic video. Beautiful scenery and whales. I so happy you are finally getting you joy back Mya. It's great to see you having the joy so so deserve.
When I had a propane oven onboard I used to put one oven tray directly over the flames. This spread out the heat, then I would put the tray with the goods on in the middle. It was never burned again 👌
I could see the ultimate satisfaction in Aladino's face having all the sails up an cruisin along, now it can be said all the blood, sweat & tears over those years of reconstruction were well worth it. Fair winds & calm seas
"The Artist and the Engineer" The artist and the engineer, Poured them-selves into a boat. It morphed into a nightish mare, A load they had to tote… Through winters long, and summer hot The toil seemed never ending If they make it to the end, Their souls will need some mending. Years go by and sadness reigns, As work goes on, to such small gains. Is that light I see in the tunnel, “Dear, could you pass me the yellow funnel”? Yet finally, and after all The work was done and the mast stood tall. She cuts a line straight through the seas now they're happy as you please. ( these things just pop out on occasion . .. congrats.. have been with you since SMC#1 )
Obviously congratulations to you both for bringing this project to such an exceptionally well finished ship. But I would like to add something else too: your cinematography is of a level rarely found on RUclips. This is no longer vlogging, this is making top notch movies. Thank you so much for your efforts. Jan, Belgium
From the moment Magic Carpet II touched the water all your narratives have changed. I'm sô happy for you, so happy to have found your channel 4 or 5 years ago and i'm sooo looking forward to be part of your journey from so far yet so close. Thank you very much Maya and Aladino
Since the last few months of you being in the US, I have been concerned that the refit had taken too much of a toll on you Maya and that you would end up loathing Magic Carpet II. I am SO pleased that has been dispelled and the beauty of being back on the water has re-ignited that flame. Yes - it has all been worth it ❤
I grew up in Alberta and have now been all over North America, but the years is spent living off the Straits of Georgia are my best. I have been following you for years and have loved it. This video brought me to tears, took my breath away, and made me homesick in a way I had forgotten possible! I am so proud of you two!!!! These are the days that make it all worth it!
Wow!! What a beauty! How awesome to wake up with whales swimming by. I am a plein air painter in Monterey, and I often see whales blowing right next to me when I am painting at Point Lobos.
I have been watching your channel since you were sailing the canals in Europe, then purchasing Magic Carpet II and watching you work on it from the beginning to now, when you are finally putting some miles under her hull. Sublime is the best way I can describe it. Absolutely sublime. Now, having said that going back for a second watch. . . Sighhh . . .
Glad you're making sailing videos again, which are more arty than the building videos. You guys are back; or better, the lady has a home again. Lovely!
Through all the years of sailing and renovations or reconstruction, I never lost hope or gave up that you would one day feel the magic again and it's so rewarding to see you in your happy place. Your video's are so beautiful to watch as are the two of you; and now we can rest in the beauty every week till the work must start again. Thank you for sharing your life and your love. 😀
Its great to see you living your life again. I've watched for near five years, and its been a truly enjoyable adventure for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing this. 😊
It always felt to me that things have a spirit in them. Be it a boat, or Evan a classic car. Your boat has a soul, and it is smiling as much as your own.
There is no doubt about it, a lot of people have to work for everything they have and you 2 definately fit that. Its so nice to see you enjoying your fruits of labour. Have a very Merry Christmas to you and all who follow this amazing trip. Cheers Ian New Zealand
Congratulations. Parabéns. Gefeliciteerd. Also thank you, you didn't need to share the process but you did, and speaking from here, it made a world of difference. Onwards and upwards.
Don't know about anyone else, but seeing those sails capturing the wind, after all the work you both put into that sailboat, brought a few tears to my eyes. Congratulations to the both of you...
Your videos of when you’re on the water or sailing seem so much more relaxing than many other channels , you’ve earned it , and may it long continue 😃🥂
You nailed it! The moment the main goes up for the first time hit me and I nearly felt all the pressure and sorry you must have head going down the drain. What a relief! Maya, as others said before, your cinematography skills are the next level. The boat looks so beautyful and you two did this! Awesome!
From magic carper one i have followed you for a lot of highs. Magic carpet two was a low but that is gone, but a short yes dark period gone. Now just let the highs flood in, and make the rest of your ljves one big continuous special high. Stay up there. Love from new zealand.xx
I collected a dear skull on Lasqueti island a long time ago. The last sailing trip I was ever on. I grew up on the water sailing as you do in this vid. Thank you for this and all the years you have been capturing your journies
Life looks great for both of you. I can tell by the tone of your voice Aladino that you sound way more relaxed and happy. Good luck and adventures to you both. Cheers from Australia.
You two worked so hard, for so long. You deserve the joy that the fruits of your labour are bringing you both. Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to. Best Wishes from a friend on the Thames.
To sail your new boat for the first time is truly a magical feeling! You will forget all the hard work, and annoying jobs, and be left with an appreciation for what you have accomplished!
The past is the past for a reason……….. embrace the gift of the present and move on with your relationship of both a happy life and a beautiful boat 👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I watch your journey and still find the level of Beautiful craftsmanship of the boat awesome...there is great then there is Aladino perfection...loving your vids ...thanks for keeping it so real.
This is one of the most beautiful videos. And I am very happy to see that you are sailing with the fore sails without a furler, classically, like the whole beautiful ship. Congratulations on achieving your great goal.
I’m so very happy for you guys. I’ve been following you guys since before you guys traversed the canals in France. You guys have done an amazing job and now you get to reap the rewards.

Gosh.you are so right. This video really got to me!
I totally agree! You’ve come such a long way since the canals in Europe during Covid - and I was impressed then! 💕💕💕
I have followed you all from the very beginning. Through all the stress and physical work, the highs and yes the too many lows you somehow were able to persevere as a couple. Strength through love ! So good on ya both!
Moved to tears of joy - “The fairy dust is back” That simple phrase means so very much and, having watched every week for years, I’m thrilled for you.

Maja, wrap a tin foil around the rack below your backing sheet. This distributes the heat in the oven and prevent the bread to be burned! Try it😋
We’ve found that a pizza stone on the floor of the oven really helps evening out the temp. As big as will fit.
We live on a 55 Tayana with a 130 lb. Bernese Mountain Dog. He was raised on a boat and knows nothing about landline. I heard your parents have a BMD and that just warms my heart. There is just something magical about Berners.
Whow, What a Nice movie.
The Music, the voice…………..ultimate slow tv with two Nice people.
THANKS
Wonderful to hear music in your voices again.
That made me tear up. Well said!
That was adorable with the branch and snacks in the hankey.What a fantastic video. Beautiful scenery and whales. I so happy you are finally getting you joy back Mya. It's great to see you having the joy so so deserve.
Glad to see you both happy and enjoying your beautiful Magic Carpet 2
Magic Carpet II sails beautifully. It's great to see you reap the rewards of all your hard work.
Now that was just a special moment. Glad we got to see it> Aladino walking around with his goods on a stick!! LOVE IT!!
When I had a propane oven onboard I used to put one oven tray directly over the flames. This spread out the heat, then I would put the tray with the goods on in the middle. It was never burned again 👌
what a pleasure to see her finally sail
So nice to hear joy in your voices again. 😊 Remember, nothing really worth doing is ever easy. Enjoy this, you earned it. ❤
🥲🥲🥲🥲 So glad that the fiber dust has become fairy dust once again... 💗💖💓
I could see the ultimate satisfaction in Aladino's face having all the sails up an cruisin along, now it can be said all the blood, sweat & tears over those years of reconstruction were well worth it. Fair winds & calm seas
so happy for you guys, you deserve every moment of this joy!
Absolutely beautiful your so lucky the boat looks elegant and sails smoothly can’t wait for more
"The Artist and the Engineer"
The artist and the engineer,
Poured them-selves into a boat.
It morphed into a nightish mare,
A load they had to tote…
Through winters long, and summer hot
The toil seemed never ending
If they make it to the end,
Their souls will need some mending.
Years go by and sadness reigns,
As work goes on, to such small gains.
Is that light I see in the tunnel,
“Dear, could you pass me the yellow funnel”?
Yet finally, and after all
The work was done and the mast stood tall.
She cuts a line straight through the seas
now they're happy as you please.
( these things just pop out on occasion . .. congrats.. have been with you since SMC#1 )
You made it. Hard work, patience and love !
I love your poetic narration, Maya. The boat looks so beautiful fully dressed.
This episode made my heart sing. Home baked bread, whales, Maya in the dinghy enjoying the simple act of rowing a boat. Splendid.
Obviously congratulations to you both for bringing this project to such an exceptionally well finished ship. But I would like to add something else too: your cinematography is of a level rarely found on RUclips. This is no longer vlogging, this is making top notch movies. Thank you so much for your efforts. Jan, Belgium
Why does it make me so ridiculously happy to see Maya working so comfortably in that beautiful galley!
Thrilled for you (& those of us that get to watch these hard earned adventures!)
So, so many of us are totally elated right along with you!
From the moment Magic Carpet II touched the water all your narratives have changed. I'm sô happy for you, so happy to have found your channel 4 or 5 years ago and i'm sooo looking forward to be part of your journey from so far yet so close. Thank you very much Maya and Aladino
Maya, I'm glad you've got your sparkle again! Yay!!
Since the last few months of you being in the US, I have been concerned that the refit had taken too much of a toll on you Maya and that you would end up loathing Magic Carpet II. I am SO pleased that has been dispelled and the beauty of being back on the water has re-ignited that flame. Yes - it has all been worth it ❤
That was it, that was the moment when the Magic re-appeared. Both of you talk, walk, and smile differently since an episode or two. 🙂
I am so happy for you both. It's wonderful to watch you find your Joy. Amazing
Love that beautiful warm lighting and classic-looking lanterns in the boat!
So glad to hear fairy dustbins replacing epoxy dust. You so deserve it.
it's great to see your joy coming back. What a delight to have a pod of whales join you during breakfast. It doesn't get much better than that.
I grew up in Alberta and have now been all over North America, but the years is spent living off the Straits of Georgia are my best. I have been following you for years and have loved it. This video brought me to tears, took my breath away, and made me homesick in a way I had forgotten possible! I am so proud of you two!!!! These are the days that make it all worth it!
So pleased you have once again found your joy.! It is very much like the tides, ebbing and flowing. At my age I can attest to that truth.
Wow!! What a beauty! How awesome to wake up with whales swimming by. I am a plein air painter in Monterey, and I often see whales blowing right next to me when I am painting at Point Lobos.
Congratulations on getting the mainsail up. She looks beautiful under full sail!
I have been watching your channel since you were sailing the canals in Europe, then purchasing Magic Carpet II and watching you work on it from the beginning to now, when you are finally putting some miles under her hull. Sublime is the best way I can describe it. Absolutely sublime.
Now, having said that going back for a second watch. . . Sighhh . . .
Glad to see Maya is getting more time in the sun,so to speak.also the two of you learning how much the hard work you both did,is going to pay off
She looks beautiful with full sails. Magic Carpet is definitely the right name. You both look so proud and joyful. Thanks for the beautiful video.
Glad you're making sailing videos again, which are more arty than the building videos. You guys are back; or better, the lady has a home again. Lovely!

What a joy to see MC II breathing through full sails. It has been a long journey, but it looks like the reward is coming to fruition.
Nicely controlled jibe.
So good to be back on the water with you. Gle Mhath...
It always felt to me that things have a spirit in them. Be it a boat, or Evan a classic car. Your boat has a soul, and it is smiling as much as your own.
It’s finally sinking in that I’m once again watching Magic Carpet sailing again. What awesome videos you give us. Thank you Maya & Aladino.
There is no doubt about it, a lot of people have to work for everything they have and you 2 definately fit that. Its so nice to see you enjoying your fruits of labour. Have a very Merry Christmas to you and all who follow this amazing trip. Cheers Ian New Zealand

It’s beautiful to see you live onboard. When I see you cooking it seems everything fits like a glove. Worth all the efforts!!
