Maya announces a two-week posting pause, with Sailing Magic Carpet returning July 24th with a single longer episode covering the full inside passage run from Vancouver to Prince Rupert, British Columbia.0:49 That episode launches the "South to the Sun" series, which will document Magic Carpet sailing from Prince Rupert south along the BC coast to Mexico, posted weekly.0:30 Maya chose Prince Rupert as the series starting point to capture the full length of the coastal voyage rather than departing directly from Vancouver.0:57
