In this episode: Basel, Switzerland to Montbeliard, France.
This was the bucket list item I never knew I had: Cruising through the inland waterways of France on a gorgeous sailboat. We navigate locks, rivers, and narrow canals -- all on board our beautiful (and newly restored!!) Vindo 32 sailboat. This video shows you some of the beautiful scenery we've encountered, as well as telling you about how locks work.

Hello dear viewers! It's so nice to see this video get a sudden resurgence of views, considering it's a few years old, and was made back in the days when I knew very little about filmmaking! I wanted to let you all know that Aladino and I have actually started a brand NEW river journey through France, this time in an effort to get North. It will be turned into quite a well documented series, which you can follow along here if you wish! New episodes will be added to this playlist as they're published. ru-vid.com/group/PLixt_4jBlVZwTZe0DTLaLS4CphvNwz1mp

With the current situation of isolation's taking place, immersing ourselves in the picturesque countryside as well as the soothing tone of your lovely narration gives such peaceful vibes, thank you x

@gaylarice6124 4 года назад

I found the series North thru the contenannt first. And then found the beginning of your story. I saw in the last video that you had your cell phone tucked into the top of your tank top. I’ve heard this is not a healthy place to store it. Young women have be found to have breast cancer from this habit of storage. The new smart phone are very powerful. Be well. Love your music listening on Spotify. Thank for sharing it. Wishing you and Aladino and long and happy sailing lifestyle.

@@gaylarice6124 it's fine, I use the phone as a microphone when I'm talking to the camera and it's in airplane mode.

You are a natural at storytelling and making videos. You are very good and love your violin music.

The wonderful part of the video when you play the instrument while the magic carpet sliding softly in the canals Wawwwwwwww amazing it's kind of a dream. Très beau. Bravooooo

@MrTacklebury 4 года назад

It's beautiful. The effect is almost like looking back through time at a simpler time. I often get the same feeling when watching my great uncle's super 8 videos we have of nearly every family reunion and vacation when he was alive. I love your music selection also. As a trumpet player, I've really enjoyed the score.

Autumn Leaves! Perfect Jazz song! You wonderful sailors! Just started watching tonight. I lived in St. Augustine, Florida on my 1971 Irwin sailboat until the recent hurricanes. Back on Lake Erie by Put in Bay and Marblehead area. Just bought a 22ft Catalina. Have to be on the water.

What lovely canals. I did a trip in the north east French canals , mainly built by Napoleon and standardized , but we found the canals were built outside a lot of the towns making some of the stops in almost no where! But the locks were almost all semi-automatic. I sailed the Dutch canal many times and they are so old the towns are built around the canal so you stop in the middle of towns , wonderful. I love canals, Your sound is so good you must really know what you a doing! Cheers Warren

Hi Bill -- I'm SO GLAD that you're watching all of our videos! That's amazing!! Thank you so much!

@JordanMQ25 5 лет назад

I wasn’t aware France had such an extensive canal system. That looks like it’d be an amazing journey to take. Your audio levels are nicely done as well, and you obviously know your music as the selections always seem to fit the setting.

@SailingMagicCarpet 5 лет назад

It was a truly amazing journey, I feel so lucky we got to do this! And thanks so much for your kind comments regarding the audio. Choosing the music is one of my favourite parts of every episode :)

@christianjambou8208 29 дней назад

France has over 5000kms of navigable rivers and canals. One of the largest civil work is being built. A canal connecting Holland and Belgium to Paris. It will remove 1million trucks/year from the roads.

@stuartmcmichael5250 5 лет назад

I just love the opening music beautiful. You have great taste in the music, I love to listen to Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli playing together. I also think your the photography is awesome.
