Hindeloopen!! Yea! My wife loved this little village, particularly Ms Bootsma and her shop filled with the painted furniture and the like painted my the men of the village. Supposedly the painting started back when the south sea was unfishable in the winter and the men looked for off season income.
This is a different journey - wonderful, and - needless to say - with tasty music! 10:25 What a minimalist lift bridge - captains, care for your shrouds! ...and it's so good to see MC "mast up!" again!
These traditional "botters" have no shrouds, that was easier for fishing. The mast is a massive wooden tree trunk and rests through the deck on the keel beam.
It is a joy to see your Faces when you get close water...... It is where you were born to be......I am So looking forward to seeing you back on Board..... :-)) xxxxx
that sail boat was a beauty, i like the way it seemed like a wade open floor plan in the salon area and space was used efficiently throughout the boat.
Friesland is and will always be near and dear to my heart. I was born in the northern part in a very small village of few homes very close to the last dike. Thanks to an other great video of a wonderful part of The Netherlands and the many videos over the last two years from there.
beautiful video and informative narrative!...another superb "visit" and sharing personal insight to places and lifestyles we may never get to experience - thank you for taking us along !!
Hallo lovely people , I live in the province South Holland 15 feet belowe sea level and feel safe by the Deltaworks , our village hase the first barier build in 1958 . Groetjes
My ancestors are from the Friesland area. Some ended up in Scotland after the floods of 1100. at least i think they were 1100. My dad was from Aus Friesland in Germany and my mom from Scotland. while they were living they did not know of their kinship. They met in Bloomington Illinois. odd coincidence. I discovered all this after they passed.
I have watched every episode and being a Scot living in Manitoba it is good to see Europe again. Love watching your adventures. Nice to see you sailing again. Such freedom for the soul. Excellent guys 🙏👍
As a sailor used to passage making it is always good to be inland on a river or canal. You actually see that you are moving rather that looking at an outline in the distance that never gets nearer. Magic Carpet is looking great and I look forward to seeing you back on the water.👍
this was lovely. Thank you so much for taking us on such a dreamy little adventure on the canals with such a good friend. What an intriguing place. Sorry to see Maud go, but I'm sure she will have more wonderful adventures. 💕
You are such a good storyteller that I am happy that you had the chance to visit the ditches in Netherlands and you did share it with us. A nice change from the refit videos!
Being Dutch my mom and I love watching always hear videos but it's always nice to see taken oit's to see the canals that you guys travel through lots of love Vegas Bill

5:46 FYI During the 16th and 17th century Molkwerum has played a big role for the 'Oostzeevaart'. The seamen from this village would sail out on 'Merchant Ships' (a Fluit). These Ships were docked here. This type of ship would transport grain and/or wood from the (Oostzee) 'East-sea'-area (i.e.: Danzig and Riga) to Amsterdam. Around 1600 Harlingen, Stavoren (there is a nice little [dutch] story there, ask Huub) and Molkwerum were leading in the Frisian trade for the 'Oostzee'. 20% of that trade came from Molkwerum! This growth (Molkwerum) was even before the VOC was established (in 1602). I'm to lazy to translate the rest. ;)

How 'even before the VOC was established'? The Baltic Sea trade was and remained far, far bigger than the whole VOC with it's over 12 months journeys. It was already big but the invention of the saw mill in the late 1500's, financial innovations keeping interests low and the efficient small crew Fluyt ship made the Dutch dominate all of European shipping but especially the Baltic.
@@DenUitvreter Agreed! However a lot (non-aquatic) things happened in those times.. ('Printing Press', 'Tulips' and Rembrandt. [never forget] Rembrandt).!
@@maartentoors I did the journey the other way as a boy on a sizeable ketch, from Glücksburg (near Denmark) to Bergen and back through Limfjord, which the early merchants may also have used. I looked up that lady on Wikipedia - this was some arrogant woman! Thanks for the hint!
Our ancestors must have been adventurous enough to leave Friesland for an adventure South. Wonderful to see you enjoy the space of my heritage. Great channel and very entertaining to watch, always sets the soul into a peaceful rhythm.
Maude is a beautiful boat! Thank you for the tour through her. Magic Carpet one is a beautiful boat too! Thank you maya for the video and the editing, you do a wonderful job on both!
You should look at "Floating our Boat" and "Holly - The Café Boat" if you are interested in canal life. Holly is more your age group, and they are lovely! Maud is a really beautiful craft!
So lovely to see you two back on the water. I am now calm and relaxed… looking so forward to seeing you seeing you back aboard Magic Carpet. So much work to produce such great videos. I just needed to express my gratitude for all your talent and hard work.
It was nice to get out of the boatyard! Look forward to the upcoming summer sailing videos. There was only a brief shot of some beautiful and delicious looking food. What a contrast to what you found on your US road trip.
Class. Yes Class.. Yes with a capital C ... If there be one word to describe you both and everything you do and places you take us .. Class and Fun too I guess for you keep it light but so interesting and lovely ... thanks 😊.. "Fun Too" was the name of our dinghy following close behind our 30' sloop "Child's Play"..
I've been with you quite a while, few years. Delightful, would on my favourite list. What a delightful man. I loved it all, such a beautiful location, such uplifting change after all the boat work. I loved it all Maya. I could easily live on Maud as a home even if not sailing. What a beautifully maintained boat. Thankyou for sharing!🙏💗 Love Jane Southern Australia
Watching you both enjoying your discovery of Holland really makes me want to go back, absolutely love Holland life is so much easier there. I lived in Vlissingen not far from the port, miss it so much 🤗
Calling Friesland or Zeeland Holland is just as wrong as calling Scotland England. Depending on who you have in front of you, you will be frowned upon or worse. Holland, Friesland, and Zeeland are parts of the Netherlands, but they have different history, different people and different cultures.
Nice mini adventure, sad and glad Maud is moving on. She is certainly a sharp vessel! Your adventure boat in this episode would make an excellent tender on your adventures to come. 5HP dory?
Maud is a beauty! my mom is from Friesland came to Canada in the late 30's with her family settled in Trial BC then Richmond BC, apparently I'm eligible for citizenship of the Netherlands and both my older sisters have done thiers I should get off my butt and do mine and visit that gorgeous country.
This was such a lovely video , the travels thru the narrow canals and the great history of the surrounding area was delightful. Thanks for sharing ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰👍👍
The area you explored in your vlog reminds me so much of my journeys of the Norfolk Broads in England much of which was engineered by the Dutch. Your vlog so enjoyable along with the history of the making of the Dykes in the 1800s. Looking forward to the re launch of Magic Carpet next week. Love you both 😎😎😎
Because of your channel, I'm still learning new things about my own country. 😄Also very relaxing to watch a video with the lovely commentary that has a sometimes poetic feel to it. Thanks a lot for your effort!

I'm not a boat person but I enjoyed so much this boating , how beautiful and serene this is!!! Hey, no waves ! I loved this ! Thank you !
I know that picnicplace very well. During holidays i used to sit there and do some fishing. Beautiful place.
It is a joy to see your Faces when you get close water...... It is where you were born to be......I am So looking forward to seeing you back on Board..... :-)) xxxxx
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I wish it was a longer video. Longer videos would be appreciated.
At 03:07 when you sailed under that bridge and had to duck...I instinctif ducked down myself sit'n behind my computer 🤣😂
Huub seems a wonderful, calming man. His Maud is magnificient ! Wow !
Water garden. Striking different land. Thanks for the tour.
One of Your Best Videos.. Or maybe I just miss the Water.... Well Done.
Nice! We look forward to your next sailing adventure! 😎🙋🏼♀️
Such a beautiful place! You have such a great eye and ability to capture the ‘magic’ in every place you visit. Thank you.
Great video, spend many of my holidays in Friesland, beautiful area. BTW, Huub, the Zeeland floodings happened in 1953!
that sail boat was a beauty, i like the way it seemed like a wade open floor plan in the salon area and space was used efficiently throughout the boat.
Tastefully intimate excursion artfully preserved, enjoyably shared.
It's so wonderful to see your impression you get from the homeland of my wife - really appreciate all your Vids here. Holger from Cologne
Friesland is and will always be near and dear to my heart. I was born in the northern part in a very small village of few homes very close to the last dike. Thanks to an other great video of a wonderful part of The Netherlands and the many videos over the last two years from there.
15:02 the Johan-Frisosluis… I think I went through it a 100 times. It’s always my gate to the IJsselmeer. Such nice pictures 😉👍
Think so
Beautiful scenery, the peaceful atmosphere of your videos gives me great joy.
We really enjoy this episode. We love the canal travel.
Loved the little canal boat. Fun picnic tour of part of Freisland.
Great episode. Friesland is so beautiful… like to go there a few times per year
That was just wonderful!! Thank you.it will be great to watch and share your adventures!!
Fair winds ⛵️
Very peaceful and enjoyable episode. I spent the summer of 1970 roaming around The Netherlands. A wonderful place and people.
Great episode good to see good clean places with clean air and nice folks! Be safe and keep rolling SMC2 crew! 👍👍
My grandfather was from the Netherlands. Thank you.
beautiful video and informative narrative!...another superb "visit" and sharing personal insight to places and lifestyles we may never get to experience - thank you for taking us along !!
Great video! Looking forward to seeing you guys back on Magic Carpet!

What a fun, little canal vessel. It looks like a little sloop with the rigging removed. That sort of travel would make a fun Netherlands vacation.
Beautiful countryside!
what a fascinating part of the world, thanks for showing me this!

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Hello Maja, Aledino, again a beautiful video. Me and my wife were in Hindeloope in June this year. Too bad we didn't meet you guys. Greatings Michael
What a gorgeous boat!
A very enjoyable change of pace.
I have watched every episode and being a Scot living in Manitoba it is good to see Europe again. Love watching your adventures. Nice to see you sailing again. Such freedom for the soul. Excellent guys 🙏👍
I loved your video and narrative of the Dutch waterways and their history. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this beautiful BBC report .
What a treat it would be to travel your beautiful country in such a fine yacht. I have a new #1 on my bucket list.
As a sailor used to passage making it is always good to be inland on a river or canal. You actually see that you are moving rather that looking at an outline in the distance that never gets nearer. Magic Carpet is looking great and I look forward to seeing you back on the water.👍
Wonderful episode showing slow travel at its best
this was lovely. Thank you so much for taking us on such a dreamy little adventure on the canals with such a good friend. What an intriguing place. Sorry to see Maud go, but I'm sure she will have more wonderful adventures. 💕

It is nice to have friends like Huub.
Becouse of you 2 years ago to i started to become a boat builder myself here in Friesland thank you
Nice to meet you guys. Hope we meet on your way South. Enjoy!
I love the sound of your friends boats motor. A really attractive one in that little boat.

You beat me to it! Oostzee indeed is the Baltic Sea, and they had to travel through Skagerak and Kattegat, past Kopenhagen. What entrepreneurship!

Terrific, you've gotta abscholutely love the Dutch & the Netherlands!

Thank you Maya and Aladino.
Your videos are such a joy.
Hope there is enough water for your upcoming adventures. Sailing Tilda is having issues heading south from Sweden.
Absolutely charming.
Nice to see you on the water

Wouldn't it be nice to have an overview on the chart! Dutch canals are fabulous and so are the Waterman!♥️🇺🇸⛵
They visited "Molkwerum" and "Hindeloopen" and sailed some of the canals around these. It's all close together
The area you explored in your vlog reminds me so much of my journeys of the Norfolk Broads in England much of which was engineered by the Dutch. Your vlog so enjoyable along with the history of the making of the Dykes in the 1800s. Looking forward to the re launch of Magic Carpet next week. Love you both 😎😎😎
Oh, I would not have described this wonderful episode as "land-based." What attractive boats your friend has (had!)
Because of your channel, I'm still learning new things about my own country. 😄Also very relaxing to watch a video with the lovely commentary that has a sometimes poetic feel to it. Thanks a lot for your effort!
First time visit, I really like what you are up to!
This video is a real gem!
Love your videos, they always bring me peace 😊
That was lovely! And what a treat for you.
