Preparing For A Crossing [Ep 11]
Welcome to another episode of Sailing Magic Carpet. In this episode, we prepare to cross to Menorca, a distance of 200 nautical miles, which takes about 50 hours in our boat. We show you a little bit about anchoring and passage planning as well.
Plus, there's some more violin music -- I have LOVED all your comments requesting more music. Consider your wish granted!
Also on that note, I am overwhelmed and so grateful for the kind, inspiring, and helpful comments we have gotten recently, AND for the huge influx of new subscribers. We are SO excited to have you along for our journey!

Beautiful woman playing beautiful music.
Professional Video, Professionel Voilinplaying Professional Bootsbauer. Einfach eine Runde Sache! Eure Videos sind top. Ihr seid einmalig
Bravo Elddif (the last violin piece)!
Btw I love you skills at the violin. You're not only beautiful young women your a gifted musician. And a sailor can't ask for more than that, your young man is surely one lucky fellow.
I enjoy the narratives that accompany the journey.
My wife and I are into our sixties and since the start of January 2019 we have started to follow some of the other people sailing around the world. Sailing Uma and La Vagabond to name but two but I should also say that Sailing Catalpa has been our longest adventure series so far. I found you just a day or so ago and dipped in to a couple of episodes. We have spent today watching you from the start of your adventures. The quality of your videos are outstanding and the music you play or find to back your programmes is fantastic. It is great to see young people who have met, share a dream, fall in love and make their adventures happen. Long may you sail in safety, enjoy each other and your joint adventures. We have been married for 19 years as of the 18/03/2019. We have never had an argument, we go to sleep with a kiss and a re affirmation of our love for each other, we awake to smiles regardless of how we feel and within minutes find something to laugh about. That sets the seal on our day every day. Sail safe, take care of each other, please take advantage of you poetic nature we loved the episode that you created your days adventure in poetic form and your prose style of delivery is one of the things we enjoy. Go on your travels with love and safety.

Hello to both of you! Thank you so much for this comment, and for taking the time to watch so many of our videos. I’m so happy that you enjoy our videos so much. I really love making them, and I love the opportunity to include music and poetry into them as well. I’m so glad you appreciate those things! I hope that you continue to follow our adventures, there are many more in the future! -Maya
The water there is the color of my pool. ( that I no longer own) I tiled the entire pool with 1 inch tile almost exactly the color of that water. Loved it.
I really like your videos. Your narrative & discussion of your planning, thinking & reasoning, your soft voice & clear diction, the music is excellent (even when you are fiddling about).

It's amazing, I've recently found your channel. Everyone has a double , you look and sound just like my oldest daughter. She grew up on Vancouver Island , Victoria to be precise colwood. You must be a west coaster by the accent. Love the channel .
That song you played, was beautiful!
Best new sailing channel. The depth of your narration points to something greater. Simply loving it. Thank you guys.

@@SailingMagicCarpet Very kind of you to respond! I have to do a lot of "homework" to catch up with all your beautiful vids. I can learn a lot of the tips and tricks around sailing....you are a wonderful and blessed couple! Love from holland. Ohw PS Maya, i think that bleugrass fiddling is a piece of cake for you, allthough... pls check Marc o' Connor , Vasal Clemens et al...or Alison Kraus and Union Station you will like that i reckon
Nice jig on the violin at the end with that 6/8 timing. Safe sailing.
I really enjoyed your violin playing, you're very good! I bet the sound in the anchorage would have been awesome.
Just found yournpostings a couple of days ago when you posted about buying a new boat, so I am catching up on all of your videos. I wish that I were doing the same thing as that was one. of my dreams when I was young. However, my wife did not have the same dream nor did she want to live on a boat, so I am living my dream through you. Love the fact that your mate is a trained boat builder so he knows his way around the boat as well as your background in sailing. I also love the music, so keep making your beautiful postings and I will travel with you anonymously. Good winds and safe travel.
I am not a violin player, but I love music. Watching you playing the violin, I cherish not only the amazing sound you create, but somehow I get the feeling as if you are creating a visionary embroidery masterpiece at the same time. I don't know if you understand what I mean. Watching you playing the violin and listening to your music I feel the whole of your art going through my veins!!!! I thank you for that, it feels soooooo good!!!
Yes, techno music is difficult to escape from, not only in Italy. Its funs like to share. And btw - I do enjoy your fresh straight forward videos that do not intend to sell me anything apart from enjoyment of life and nature. Thanks.

Great video. Maya, your music is like "magic"!
Some wonderful playing thank you
All I can say is wow. I hope a lot of young people are watching as you are an inspiration. Sailing, traveling, music most kids now days just play video games. I don’t agree with the techno music though.
‘They’ May have techno. But ‘you’ have Cesaria Evora while shopping for mince. Be still my beating heart ❣😊
I enjoy all your videos but the best part is without a doubt you playing the violin. You guys transmit peace and tranquility. May the gods of the winds protect you all the time.
Violins and sailing....both art passions of the heart! I look forward to the next episode and more music and sailing... Warms a old sailors heart.
The way you are dropping the main consider lazy jacks and a bag on the boom will protect the sail from the sun and put years onto its life.
Love the adventures. I would take the handle out of the windless. You may have learned by now, but if it were to come loose, the motor could throw it overboard. Be safe out there.
Great videos (and music!) Please keep them coming!
Love the way you describe your journeys from the beginning!!
Great video! Love your violin playing.
Another amazing video, so much talent!
Subbed Very nice video! You mixed information & instruction with playtime. Thank you both 🥀

I love your boat. So beautiful! Going through your episodes now. Very nice! Stay healthy and safe!
All the best for the voyage. Thanks for showing the interior of the boat. Given the complete refit, it's a marvelous job. Jealousy enjoying traveling with you through your vids!
It's just wonderful to get to hear you play your violin, I love it!
You are so talented in many ways. Your violin piece was magnificent to listen to. Thank you for sharing.:)
Always enjoy you vids..happy sailing and hello from Edmonton!
Sweet sound of that fiddle is soothing for the soul. Your easy on the eyes too. Hope you guys have a safe passage
I love your playing wow such talent!
I really enjoy your reflective narration. And I love your violin pieces. I hope you include more.
Great video! Thanks so much for opening and closing the video with the beautiful violin. Keep it up! Jim M. Weatherford, Tx. USA
I can only imagine sitting at anchor listening to the violin playing in the air. Beautiful!
I love your violin play...magnifico!
Passion. Passion for your boat, passion for sailing, passion for violon, passion for each other. A real pleasure to watch what your are doing. Don’t change a thing.
I love all your videos music you so talented great couple sailors it’s fascinating to me and so romantic . May thanks well done again . Greetings from beautiful tropical island of Kauai.
You guys are wonderful...so nice! Maya's violin playing is very exceptional! Aladino what a man refurbishing the boat!! So impressed.
Well done my young friends. Very Beautiful
love your channel...thumbs up
Thanks for sharing and taking us as a part of u sailing and violin journey. 👍 👍 👍
Maya I love the videos and you have wonderful elocution! I wish more you tubers could be as entertaining saying just simple words as you!
You explain all the handling on the boat so well...I know nothing about sailing so I find it so interesting...this is what has made me subscribe to your channel😊
The mediterean has some pretty heavy weather some times. I know first hand from sailing along the Turkish and Greek coast and around the Belearic islands. Best to have a good anchoring spot when the heavy weather hits. Loved the violin playing !
ALOHA! Love everything about your channel. Hope you hear your violin playing live one day. :) Safe sailing.
wow ur music is mesmerizing...like a magical mermaid playing....Love your videos.
Ok, I will also share something :) You both are amazing :) Have a nice crossing and can't wait next episode :)
You guys are so young. It is fun to watch you two grow in experience and life.
Another great video. Enjoyed you playing the violin. Me being a Tennessean boy LOL ; )
Music and Sailing are perfect combination. Enjoy and Keep safe. God bless to both of you. From Philippines 🇵🇭
Hello there all the way from Winnipeg, MB Canada. Just wantes to say I just started to watch your utube channel and videos and have enjoyed your story and adventures. I myself wont be able to travel and sail like that, but enjoy watching through your eyes. I look forward to catching up to where you are now. Good luck stay safe. Happy travels.
Iove your videos, thank you very much.
Bravo!
Beautiful Music!
Very beautiful your sailboat. Good music.. cesaria Evora..Cape verde.. Have to meet tem fantastic islands!
So great to hear you playing a version of Oliver's music - I used to see him with Don Ross and Kelly McGowan in the late 80's. Enjoying your channel, very inspiring.
how special music of your own making and a sailing adventure also. fair winds and following seas
Wow! You're an amazing fiddle player, and a fantastic musician! The two of you, and Magic Carpet are a perfect balm, for the troubled times we're currently in as I write (COVID-19 epidemic).
I just love Magic Carpet. Gorgeous interior. Just gorgeous. It don't matter that she is slow. She is So pretty on the inside. I just subscribed. Thank you 2.
I have found a new channel to watch - you're so talented, exquisite music and a real sense of describing scenery. As a novelist, I love how you use words. p.r.morehouse
Love your music.
I've enjoyed what you've done so far. I also came down through the French canals, from the channel, with a Westerly Tiger sailing boat, 1971, that I bought on ebay one drunken evening. I've also restored the boat but not to the extent that you've done with yours which, I must add, looks really fine. At the moment my boat is in Toulon and I'm waiting to cross to Sardinia once work is out of the way. Keep up the absolutely charming journey. My father, by the way, was a passionate violinist so it's really nice to hear some fiddling. Play in the next episode that piece from the 'last of the Mohicans'. All the best. Oh, by the way I've also crossed continents with a bicycle. Best holidays ever.
Great music solo!
Loved this video and your violin music is such a beautiful talent.
So beautiful you play Gillies, one of my favorite Melodys. I come from a small island in Denmark, where we have a very old folk tradition, and our own violin Melodys for weddings, birthdays ect. The music is heavily inspired by Welsh music, with the sailors brought home back in the day.
Recently found your channel and really like the spirit of your videos. Catching up now and really looking forward to following your adventures.

Gotta luv a fiddle playin’ gal. Fair winds and smell the roses.
I just subscribed to your channel a few days ago, love the violin.
Have seen almost all of your videos, but this one I missed for one or another reason. But...in hindsight, there might be a reason for that. This video was very well edited and composed. It illustrates you common love and passion for sailing. This love and passion was shared by the violin performance as well.. Thanks for sharing this master piece..
Nice boat!! ⛵️👊 Come to Brasil 🇧🇷!! There are beautifull beaches and sunny days all year long!!
Ex-Sailer here, who live onboard my sailboat ⛵️ on west coast many years ago. Now living in Midwest state for now . Yes missed life style and sailing ⛵️. Enjoy watching your sailing ⛵️ videos and different areas sail . 😀⛵️😀 Mike
I have played your song at the beginning "Sleeping Tune" on the bagpipes, very pretty!
I just discovered your channel and I’ve been enjoying watching from the beginning. However once I heard the first few notes of Gordon Duncan’s Sleeping Tune I knew I was hooked!
Oh, yes, Love your videos
Yes the wind. I experienced it coming from the Sahara... I was on a catamaran. We speeded back and forth. I mean speeded
Your violin really makes your sea story unique, very poetic....Love it....more of the same please...and oh yes your philosophy is great. I can see the gift that you have inherited from your sailing parents. Where were you when I was sailing...lol! When you have a chance, on KZread, go meet Christian Williams who sails solo in the Pacific....He is a great motivator and will lift up your spirit on those days when you feel lonesome! God speed
So...what podcasts? Awesome music, that seriously kicks the channel up a notch. Beautiful. Fair winds
You two are smart educated and very able seawomen and seaman. Will keep on watching your Channel! thank you.
