I have watched the voyages of Tony Fleming from first to latest, and never tire of them. Fleming's narration, to me, is soothing and restful. Wishing you long life and increased prosperity Tony Fleming, and fair weather.
Thank you, crew of Venture for sharing with those of us lucky enough to have found this TH-cam channel. See you again next year, all bright and beautiful.
Having just watched the Video of the stunning new Fleming 85, it shows that the innovation you are talking about has been very successfully adopted...... She looks Beautiful Tony, you should be very proud of the legend that you have started.... :-)) xx
Thank you Tony for these beautiful adventures on the Venture. I watch these videos at work during my lunch break and I am transported to another time and place of calmness, no matter the chaos that sometimes goes on around here. Thanks again, I look forward to the next adventure.
Tony, I love watching your video's. Your narration is charming and the filmography beautiful. Navigating the Alaskan sounds have their dangers, you've done well to only have one incident. Looking forward to more adventures next year.
Thank you for sharing your video's. I watch them while I relax in bed. I've had 19 spinal surgeries. My movements are limited so I chose to let you take me on beautiful places that I can never go to. Thank you again. Pete.
How wonderful to see this video today! I didn't go to Alaska this year and this really makes me miss the majestic views at every turn and the amazing ports. Thank you for these wonderful videos. I think I have to go back and rewatch more now!
Tony just wanted to express some gratitude from Australia for being able to realise into the world such a breathtaking, reliable and awe inspiring vessel I will, one day, have the pleasure to own one
I just finished the book "The Wide Wide Sea". What an interesting story of Capt. Cook's third and final exploration voyage, including his mapping nearly the entire Alaskan coast line while searching for the non-existent northerly passage above North America. To think about these two sailboats sailing blind in the Bering Sea in the late 1700's is just astonishing.
Thanks again Tony, every night l fall asleep and dream of living on my own motor yacht and fishing off the Barrier Reef on the east coast of Australia to Hobart. It will never happen as my use by date has caught up with me. But l have my past memories of the sea and good mateship. Your videos let me experience your adventures, but I'd rather the tropics. Good health to you and yours, l look forward to more vid's.
Tony, first of all fantastic video. We were in Juneau the same time you were, just as you come under the bridge could see my mast sticking way up in there, we could only get in and out under the bridge at low tide. That was such a beautiful trip seeing you post it has me wanting to go back, but alas I have my boat torn apart working on it right now. Hopefully your refit went smoothly.
Much respect and many thanks for your content. I found your channel last week, the same day I picked up a 1979 Apollo 30’ cruiser. These videos are wonderful motivational piece amazing work thank you very much for all your time and effort.
Best to Venture on her “glow up’’, and to all of the Venture crew. Have an enjoyable and healthy winter season, rest and be ready for wonderful adventures next year.
Oh so enjoyed as Always! We are very attached to your dear “Venture”. All the best for her makeover, how marvellous she is! Thanking you again for sharing another mesmerising Venture! Cheers from us 🎋🎉🐨
Dear Tony and Crew. As a DAV, I could never even come close to owing such a beautiful vessel as a Fleming. but your Footage brings much joy to me. and I Thankyou Kindly for that. Safe journeys
Another fabulous escape for us your followers !! )) thank you so much for the time you take to film and edit these amazing travelogues....much appreciated from the UK 🙂
Having criticised the musak in a previous video, it is only fair that I comment that the music in this video is the perfect accompaniment to the serene beauty of your voyage. Of course, the silence that you chose whilst capturing the bubble feeding was also perfect. Many thanks for such beautiful videos, Colin

Lieber Herr Tony Fleming. Wir ( meine Frau und ich) sind grosse Wassersport Enthusiasten seit vielen Jahren mit den unterschiedlichsten Booten. Bis heute verschlingen wir jedes ihrer Vlogs, sobald es erscheint. Und wir sind uns sicher, dass wenn wir in ein paar Jahren in den Ruhestand gehen, dass ihre Reisen und ebenfalls ihre Yachten eine große Inspiration sind, für die Abenteuer, die man auf eigenem Kiel erleben darf. Mehr Freiheit und Glück kann man bestimmt kaum erleben. Danke vielmals dafür. Wir sind sicher, daß es auf dem Kiel einer Fleming Yacht perfekt sein wird.
We have 171 videos on the Fleming Yachts Channel and many of them cover the coast of BC and the Inside Passage. Go to flemingyachts.com and look for the red You Tube arrow at top right of home page. That will take you to the YT page.
Hey Tony can’t you just sail from north to south in the winter so you can bring us these videos all year long? Haha just asking cause I hate waiting months for your new videos to come out.
We would not be in that situation in the Gulf because we we take careful note of the weather before making such a crossing. But we did encounter similar weather in Venture II when en route to Iceland. It was very scary and unpleasant but the boat did better than the crew. Total damage after 12 hours of it was a broken wineglass, the filament of a one tungsten light bulb (we now use LED) and a bottle of beer lost its cap. Need to keep in mind that commercial vessels have to cope with these conditions. We saw one tug pushing a barge taking supplies to remote towns during our recent crossing.
Pardon my ignorance (I have only sailed a Cape Dory Typhoon Senior) but, if you have a genset, why would batteries be a show-stopper? So looking forward to the next voyage!
This question has already been asked and answered in full. You can probably find it by going back through the comments. Basically it is because the genset is 20 years old and has more than 7,000 hrs on it. It is working flawlessly but, if it packed up, we would be seriously stranded in a very remote area and have to depend on others to rescue us. That would be irresponsible and not the way we want to go boating.
Yes, we do have a generator and we did consider continuing our tour of PWS using it. But, although it was working flawlessly, that generator is 20 years old and has over 7,000 hours on it. It would only have taken one component - electrical or mechanical - to have failed on it to have left us stranded in a very remote area. We decided it would be irresponsible to take that risk to crew and boat and have to rely on others to rescue us just for the sake of some sightseeing.

Wow! I watched it on a 65” TV, so beautiful sights. Can’t wait for next season. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Thank you Tony for these beautiful adventures on the Venture. I watch these videos at work during my lunch break and I am transported to another time and place of calmness, no matter the chaos that sometimes goes on around here. Thanks again, I look forward to the next adventure.
I thoroughly enjoy every minute of your Venture's.
I want to congratulate Fleming on the most beautiful videos of the travel along the Alaska coast, scenery and sound are perfectly matched. THANKS
Rest easy Venture and enjoy your makeover! See you in the Spring, bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Every single video of yours is like a brilliant gem.

Here is another tremendous video featuring excellent photography and soothing, informative narration. Thank you to the Venture crew.
Thank you so much for taking me along on your voyage, it was spectacular! ❤
Always a pleasure watching your videos and your narration is very pensful.

There is something incredibly relaxing about these videos.
True, it reminds me of Railaway back in the days :)
Your videos are so beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us 👏🫡🙏

Sorry, the Northwest passage does exist, Cook just didn't go far enough West and North to find it.
I love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for making this a beautiful and emotional journey, and for reminding me that we have a very beautiful planet.

Wonderful as always Tony. Very calming during these stormy times.
Thank you for the wonderful scenery on your voyage. Hope to see you again and the different places you will pass through.
Another beautiful video, thank you Tony.
Your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch
Another masterpiece of a video. Thank you Mr Fleming.
I hope we will get to see some footage during the makeover. Another great video. I like the history and stories associated with the current scene
Happy travels on the sea”s of the future and vast memories of the travels that lay behind you. 💪👊🇺🇸

Wonderful. What an amazing region. I can see why you keep returning
Love watching
Compulsive viewing for all of us weekend sailors. Thank you. 😊
Always superb videos… I often watch again and again. Really hope you give us a refit boat tour video once she is done. 🙏
Beautiful narration for a beautiful yacht and journey. Thank you for taking us along, via YT, on the adventure. Peace be with you.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
If you can provide updates on Venture's adventures in the shipyard, that would be terrific. Thank God you made it back safely. 🙏 🤗
Thank you Mr. Fleming. Your videos give an insight into places few of us will be able to visit.
GREAT VIDEO AND EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHY. MANY THANKS!!!!!!
Your videography and stills are so good. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Best to Venture on her “glow up’’, and to all of the Venture crew. Have an enjoyable and healthy winter season, rest and be ready for wonderful adventures next year.

Great chronicle of your Alaska adventure. Would appreciate if you keep us current on the winter work on Venture. Thanks much.
Thank you and God Bless!
Hubby and I love your videos, Tony! We are liveaboards in Juneau. (FYI, all the "seals" pictured in this video were sea lions.)
Yes. You are of course correct. Sigh!

I love the Venture videos. Wish I could go do a cruise on a Fleming 75.

78 K miles is incredible.
It is a beautiful show.
Excellent, as always!
Tyvm even though i own a 47 foot sailboat i love your adventures
Beautifull as always.
thank you
Nice the NCL Escape and Encore!
We made the drive to Valdez in our RV. Nice to see it from the water.
I love yours seas thank you.
I'm curious what your battery problem was, maybe I could learn something.
Love it
thank you Tony.
Forward looking sonar - is that of any use?
Superb as always
Excellent.
Would love to see your footage from Juneau to Sydney. There are many beautiful locations along the inside passage. Any favorites? Nakwakto Rapids?

@@jon4549549 when did Tony go to Sydney, I couldn’t find any Pacific content.
I love these boats and would be my choice if I won the lottery….
What was the house battery issue? Were you forced to run power whenever away from shore power?
Great Video as always.
Hey Tony can’t you just sail from north to south in the winter so you can bring us these videos all year long? Haha just asking cause I hate waiting months for your new videos to come out.
Excellent 😊
Looks very similar to the boats in Monterey CA.
Awesome vlog..Tusen takk
I just wanted ted to know how Venture would handle the storm that flew through the bay after you traveled.

love you venture
I love your videos... Thanks !!! 😎👍 🇨🇦
For what its worth, I have been aboard commercial fish boats as well appointed in the interior as, say Venture and other fine yachts.
Juneau was so much more pleasant when only Holland America ships came once a week or so.
Cheers Tony!

I'm sure you have a generator?
Yes, they do, so, I'm not sure what the problem is

Are the Lifeline the new batteries or the old batteries?
