Changing Course

[@MichaelGillespie-iy2qe]

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.

[@peggyswander3744]

Thank you, crew of Venture for sharing with those of us lucky enough to have found this KZbin channel. See you again next year, all bright and beautiful.

[@shirleyboy8859]

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

[@cds957]

Thanks Tony and crew, I watch your series over and over, you just can't find material like this very often.

[@thinlet1]

Wow! I watched it on a 65” TV, so beautiful sights. Can’t wait for next season. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

[@gregsage1605]

I thoroughly enjoy every minute of your Venture's.

[@dannettepeters1507]

Rest easy Venture and enjoy your makeover! See you in the Spring, bright eyed and bushy tailed!

[@SimonJeffery-g9b]

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.

[@lucthomas3968]

I want to congratulate Fleming on the most beautiful videos of the travel along the Alaska coast, scenery and sound are perfectly matched. THANKS

[@cestmoi1262]

Every single video of yours is like a brilliant gem.

[@MissilemanIII]

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.

[@williamwatson689]

As always, you have a beautiful way with words.

[@Richard-rz8gt]

Here is another tremendous video featuring excellent photography and soothing, informative narration. Thank you to the Venture crew.

[@Bill-n-ator]

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.

[@chuckmyntti]

I love your videos. Thank you.

[@jenniferlevine5406]

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!

[@CALTECH007]

Always a pleasure watching your videos and your narration is very pensful.

[@LUVMFAST]

Thank you so much for taking me along on your voyage, it was spectacular! ❤

[@geoffharris4697]

Wonderful as always Tony. Very calming during these stormy times.

[@Harryandleo]

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

[@pauldacus4590]

There is something incredibly relaxing about these videos.

[@brutus7319]

True, it reminds me of Railaway back in the days :)

[@Visionery1]

Another beautiful video, thank you Tony.

[@Jim.Thunda]

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.

[@josephmonti4524]

Your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch

[@earllutz2663]

Thank you for the wonderful scenery on your voyage. Hope to see you again and the different places you will pass through.

[@jamiemcmu]

Enjoy your well deserved rest Endeavor, another really enjoyable film.👏👏

[@olinrindal9999]

I’m a drift gillnetter who fishes out of Cordova and PWS. I enjoy seeing familiar areas in your videos. Tip on no rental cars, check Uhall. Most people overlook Uhall. It might be a small van truck but will be approximately 1/2 the cost of a rental car and will be available when no rental cars are available. Also that big white tender boat leaving the Valdez harbor, Velero IV is my buddies boat. It’s right at 100 years old. The engine alone is estimated at 60k pounds. It has external pushrods that has to be manually oiled every 4 hours. The pistons are approximately 18” in diameter. The boat cruses approximately 9kts. Cruising Rpm is 900 rpms. The transmission doesn’t have reverse, the engine actually slows to a stop and the engine runs in reverse and is how the board powers in reverse. It’s a super cool old boat. Oh and he has a soft serve ice cream maker on board. Is been pretty popular amongst us fishermen 😂

[@talullahlabelle]

Your videos are so beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us 👏🫡🙏

[@rcgrizz]

Beautiful narration for a beautiful yacht and journey. Thank you for taking us along, via YT, on the adventure. Peace be with you.

[@RenegadeADV]

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.

[@stuckinadazzee]

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.

[@jaquigreenlees]

Sorry, the Northwest passage does exist, Cook just didn't go far enough West and North to find it.

[@Smokeyham]

Thank you Mr. Fleming. Your videos give an insight into places few of us will be able to visit.

[@kurtweber7361]

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.

Looking forward to seeing her after the makeover.

I'm curious what your battery problem was, maybe I could learn something.

[@kurtlysne9220]

What was the house battery issue? Were you forced to run power whenever away from shore power? Great Video as always.

[@jgriff3218]

I just wanted ted to know how Venture would handle the storm that flew through the bay after you traveled.

[@FlemingYachts]

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.

[@robertclark4509]

Bravo

[@stinker43]

Looks very similar to the boats in Monterey CA.

[@McBigFisher]

Are the Lifeline the new batteries or the old batteries?
