A Single Step. Part 13. Venture visits Vancouver Island West Coast

This video covers our journey up the exposed west coast of Vancouver Island and a visit to the exciting Roaring Hole Rapids on the mainland. It is likely to be the last in the current series as I have now re-packaged the bulk of my existing video footage.

Recently, inappropriate ads have been attached to my videos by You Tube following phony copyright infringement claims. Neither Fleming Yachts nor myself benefit in any way from the rash of ads which have arisen since my videos have gained in viewership. Revenue from the ads is shared by the claimant and You Tube. I strongly object to my work being used as a vehicle for can only be described as fraud. This situation is a great discouragement to posting on You Tube.

I do enjoy your videos and hope you have many to come. Alas, some do make me homesick. I from Alaska and love the beauty of the Northwest. Big change from here in Georgia, hot and humid. Retired now and doubt I'll ever get back there so your videos have a special spot in my heart. Thank you and God bless.

[@CALTECH007]

I could watch these 100's of times and it is one of my greatest pleasures! Thank you!

[@Grandpa5007]

So relaxing and also exciting to watch your adventures in Venture. Thanks for taking me along.

[@donaldrentfrow4333]

The venture of the Venture is never ending...... Thankyou.......................

[@joannen3470]

Very good and informative video. It is a nice way to virtually travel at a time when actual travel is difficult. Thanks for making and posting these videos.

[@glennmadill6435]

It takes me back to late 60’s when Iived in Port Alberni and wandered the west coast between Bamfield, Uclulet and Tofino. Great times great memories. Thank you for the memories Tony.

[@africanleopard1920]

THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL AND AMAZING TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY I HAVE EVER SEEN!. THANK YOU. - I watch all your Venture Boats trips (Aleutians, Alaska, British Columbia, Europe, Ireland, England, California, Idaho, New York). All videos are properly edited and perfectly presented. All landscapes, scenes, nature, blue sky, grey sky, deep blue sea make me feel so good. I enjoy watching all your videos (on my 72" flat screen TV - SONY) all time, every weekend from my home in Los Angeles. Even though I am not fortunate like you to circumnavigate the globe and travel on own boat, your sea journey and wonderful voyage videos have brought many delights and good feeling to me. We all ordinary people are grateful to you (Gratitude) for your generous and wonderful presentations. Thank you.

[@rashmipeppin6889]

Exotic, soothing and peaceful ! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Beautiful places that we ever get to see only through your eyes and descriptions. Thanks a lot for sharing and hope to see more such in the future! God bless! ( From India)

[@AntonKramer]

Breathtaking....as usual

[@jafo766]

The "OLD LIMEY" has yet to let us down , we'd $ail to the ends of the Earth with Mr. Fleming.

[@allangall6810]

What a Beautiful Boat!

[@tommes55]

... more beautiful is not possible... 👍❤️

[@cds957]

Tony, you have a wonderful gif that allows you to narrate this beautiful video, thanks for sharing with us.

[@jetson328]

These videos are top notch, just like a Fleming Yacht

[@artfranz2273]

I really appreciate the efforts and expense you took to document this trip. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. I used to live on the Island, and have motored through some of the areas you toured. Albeit on a much thinner budget than you have. So I really enjoyed this reminder of where I have been in years now gone by. Thank you very much!

[@funnybones6131]

Majestic, mystic paradise, full of serenity, out of this world, wow just wow 🤩 😮 😯 😃

[@allangall6810]

Wow the videos and editing is superb

[@vahurjoa210]

[@Martin-bi2rq]

I love your videos and your excellent english speech . All the best from Austria , Martin

[@MrAhmedzand]

I am visiting the most charming places in the world through your videos :), waiting to see more

[@cq7415]

Beautiful waters at 10:10 & 15:05 & 17:40 & 20:50. Tidal flow at 30:05 & 31:10 & 33:30. Several interesting lagoons, inlets. Virtually the same as 'Venture Around Vancouver Island'. Thanks for sharing.

[@jpjbpayne]

Another awesome trip, well done Venture /Tony

[@joywalsh6012]

Another fabulous video! Very entertaining with dramatic scenery and beautifully narrated. Thank you!

[@littleal4139]

Thanks for another great video, it's a wonderful way to escape all the craziness in the world today.

[@sirlarryfleming]

I always enjoy your Venturing :) You get to see some of the best parts of the world and I look forward to your next video. I do miss the west coast, but your excursions help out. Happy Canada Day!

[@RayStatham]

I found myself having to stop what I was do many times, and turning up the volume soaking in the scenery. Very beautiful.

[@princeshan0000]

Outstanding view 🇨🇦of Canada Vancouver's island

[@treywest268]

Breath-taking all the way through! Immense beauty!!! Thank you Mr. Fleming and Crew for allowing us on this wondrous journey that you have shared here!!

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Realy love your videos! Hope the axe user got first aid kit as a start kit as well as the axe! Barbro Sweden

[@gezimcakerri6886]

Thanks again erudite Dr. Flaming. As always outstanding. What a beautiful documentary.

[@fmb35]

Thank you once again (from Copenhagen)

[@funnybones6131]

Always makes me wonder who (and how) are these people living on far furlong places (water front cottages on secluded small islands), how they socialise, what they eat (how and they get their groceries and other essentials), what’s their source of income, etc. Just so many questions. I wish I could travel up to those places and find out 😊

[@squamishfish]

It is fairly tough to gather their groceries. They have to fight the wilds of Safeway parking lots. This is the west side of Vancouver yes not a lot of people but on the east side and south is around 8 million people between the cities of Vancouver. Victoria Canada and Seattle Washington. Vancouver and Seattle are less then 100 miles apart with their suburbs. It would be a 1.5 hour ferry ride to the east side of Vancouver Island then a roughly 2 hour drive to the west side of Vancouver island. On the island itself mostly on the south east side is around 800,000 people

[@Erin-Thor]

Beautiful! You have some mad photographic, a video and editing skills!

[@patrickreid2767]

I enjoy your videos so much!! I always look forward to the next one.

[@colintraveller]

Outstanding as always

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Beautiful, and beautifully done!

[@mariegilbert8766]

Looking forward to seeing if next few episodes will take you to familiar territory for me: Bella Coola and central coast. Beautifully done videos!

[@ludovicosestilli6654]

The video was beautifull

Thank you A dream trip,😎

[@annsong8900]

So beautiful !!

[@monoman4083]

very good.

[@seikibrian8641]

1:32 "...a bumpy ride up the Straits of Juan de Fuca." Although the name's origin is Spanish, in the local tongue we pronounce it "wan duh FYOO kuh," not "wan duh FOO kuh." It's like Sucia Island in the San Juan Islands: we say "SOO shuh," not "soo SEE uh."

[@jafo766]

Where GO Tony , so GO I ....Thx Mr Fleming !

[@liarspeaksthetruth]

Sorry about that. Wouwer (WOW-er) Island used to have an active campsite. The trail was lovely when it was active. They closed the island (mostly because no one visited because they couldn't sleep on the island - the stellar sea lions were incredibly loud!). I believe Benson is also closed now. Great places to stop for lunch with a tender would be Gibralter Island and Dodd or Willis Islands. Also, explore the TIny Group near Sechart Lodge...fantastic beautiful little area. Best anchorages would be Jacques Lagoon, or Joe's Bay.

[@Mysterious_History1]

I just watched the hole video and all I can say is..... damn.....I want this life so bad I can taste it lol

[@annsong8900]

Amazing 😻

[@paulcunningham2859]

Ca nt believe how wonderful this is when do you expect to start fresh material?

[@dirkdiggler1242]

Its time for a solar electrical refit..... Os there a tour of Venture? TY for all these documentaries.

[@loveitloud100]

[@LarryPortouw]

Always good videos, but I could swear I've seen this one before. (?)

Your thinking of the time Relic took us up there on the Beach Comber's....EH !

[@FlemingYachts]

Yes, you probably have seen this video before. I did explain at the start of this "A Single Step" series what it was all about. If you want to see this series or, indeed, all the available videos - rather than just those which pop up, you should visit www.Flemingyachts.com, run your mouse pointer over "About Tony" in the top menu and then select KZbin from the drop down menu. Then you can select from the more than 100 videos available.

[@ramonacrandall9492]

oh my chopping woods in between theirs legs? thats scary

[@ysesq]

you will need to dispute the claims. youtube sucks but there are no alternative platforms with the same features.

[@FlemingYachts]

I always dispute the claims. Sometime I succeed and sometimes not. When not, KZbin say if too much troublemaker they will cut you off. Claimants even change title of same music to make it impossible to dispute. Actually, Vimeo is much better platform but have next to no viewership. Always some parasite ready to spoil a good situation for everybody!
