After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.

Hello all new viewers! My name is Maya, and my husband is Aladino. Our home is Magic Carpet, a Vindo 32 sailing boat (which is actually only 28ft) that Aladino completely rebuilt following a devastating accident. We are now on a mission to sail around the world as slowly as possible. We'd like to take you with us. We post new videos every week, usually on the weekends. We fell in love with sailing and with each other. Sailing is what we'd be doing even if YouTube didn't exist. However, YouTube and Patreon have provided us with the unparalleled opportunity to make friends with other sailors from around the world. We love reading your comments, sending you handwritten letters in the post, and meeting you in person. If you'd like to connect with us, you can leave us a comment, send us an email, or contact us via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=13249792. If you do decide to become a patreon, we'll personally thank you. It's you that make these videos possible –– literally. With love and excitement, Maya and Aladino Check out Maya’s music on Spotify and iTunes!
