Venture re-discovers Southeast Alaska 2022. Episode 4

Moving on from Endicott Arm we make our way to Juneau and nearby Auke Bay before forsaking the Inside Passage and heading for the infamous Gulf of Alaska and beautiful but treacherous Lituya Bay.

This is one of my favourite channel in YT. Your journeys are so mesmerizing and presented so beautifully. Your narration is so calming too.

[@andrewburns784]

i often put on one of his videos on when taking a nana nap! so relaxing.

[@steveblanchard2712]

Again, wonderful footage narrated in a stress free tone. Love it. Thanks for taking us along.

[@chrislesueur3852]

There is the line I was looking for when I laid a comment... "stress free tone".. I think this is what makes these videos so delightful to watch. Well said

[@stephenh.walker831]

Sir, My brother and I have very much enjoyed your videos for years. Not only entertained but a sense of well-being and peacefulness with joy of life have increased as you shared with us. Thank you and your passengers/crew, for these wonderful additions to our lives.

[@Invertatude]

Thanks for bringing us along, your films help the rest of us appreciate the world we live on!

[@archivist68]

I found your videos this past summer and watched all of them. These are amazing, and you, your yacht, and your crew made my unbearably hot summer something I could endure. Please continue to record your travels in your wonderful cruisers!

[@gezimcakerri6886]

I can't get enough from your melodious and humble voice Dr. Fleming. Thank you and Happy New Year.

[@hartpfortmueller4002]

Thank you Tony for your rediscovery tour of Alaska. I watched the original series several times and it gives me great pleasure to enjoy your spectacular filming again. Looking forward to more.

[@michaelross2254]

Your quiet, understated, joy is a perfect binding agent for your dedication to your explorations. There can be no better motivator to aspirants like me. Thank you, and keep retracing your steps.

At 7:20, even the bears appreciate the beauty of a Fleming Yacht! Thank you for providing these wonderful videos.

[@cindylituyasloon1292]

Wow, what a birthday present , Another Venture into Lituya Bay . We lived in the bay when the tsunami hit. Only missed it ,because mom had to go to Juneau to give birth to my little brother. So our lives were spared. It's so beautiful. Thank you.

[@FlemingYachts]

You were lucky indeed and you obviously had fate on your side. There was another story I heard about a group of Canadian climbers who were camped on the edge of the bay and supposed to be picked up by float plane the following morning. But the pilot was concerned about the weather and came the night before and picked them up just a few hours before the wave.

[@cindylituyasloon1292]

@@FlemingYachts Most remarkable, was Harold and Sonny Ulrick riding the wave up over the trees, and it set them back where they had been. We always anchored with Ulricks. Dad said it was the only safe anchorage in the Bay. Dad was on the radio with Mickey and Orvil on the Sunmore when they went down. He was still out fishing.

Thank you so much for all that you do! We really enjoy watching your travels! As we cannot afford to do it ourselves! You are truly blessed and so are we. We look forward to every episode thank you!

Another great video from Tony and crew. Everything is so beautiful and makes me feel like I'm right there along with all of you. Thanks again. MC.

Uuhhh… this is nice.. I have watch twice every video👍🏻👍🏻😁❤️

[@FLGurl]

Thank you so much for this portion of your journey. The Norweigen Sun is the last cruise ship that I have stepped foot on since -- well since everything went away. I took my now late husband on that ship departing out of Cape Canaveral in December 2019 for 3 back-to-back cruises, 5 days each. The staff were incredible with my husband's health circumstances and I am so glad he was able to go on this ship. Cruising was part of our journey together and previous to this trip, we were on RCCL Harmony of the Seas and then previous to that one MSC Divina in September 2019. So 5 cruises in the span of 4 months. I know that his ❤ would be filled with joy to watch your videos if he was still here. Most especially the Alaska ones. We both talked about going there, but he did not handle the cold, so it was not an option. Again, thank you. Many blessings to you and all that you do.

[@cindykendall6934]

Another brilliant film from Tony. Quiet, serene and interesting - as usual. Love watching Tony’s vids, watch them over & over.

Well Done Venture! I've lived in Sitka, Ak for 8 years now and although I've seen and experienced a few places as I troll for salmon and live a life of subsistance, your videos take me to places I can only wish to go. Thanks to and your crew for fanning into flames my love for this beautiful land! Hoping to one day see you in Sitka!

[@dandersonjr]

These are beautiful short films very professionally done reminding me of the films from Jacque Cousteau of which I watched when I was a much younger lad.

[@steveprice4779]

I was a Co-Captain for a good friend of mine who was a delivery Skipper Back in 2015. We were moving a 75' Motor Yacht from Cordova AK back to Seattle. We had hoped to anchor for the night in Lituya Bay. The Gulf of Alaska had been kind to us and with a big blow due we chose to get back inside at Cape Spencer while we had the chance. We throttled back as we went by the opening to Lituya Bay and wondered at the power that earthquake released that fateful day.....thank you to the crew of Venture for sharing the Beautiful Views of one of Nature's Wonders.

[@FlemingYachts]

I think you made a wise decision to make straight for Cape Spencer. You could have been trapped inside Lituya Bay. There is another more comprehensive video about Lituya Bay made after an earlier trip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpmaf3dpe5WNq5Y

I'm surprised that Venture II's anchor chain has not been painted in the standard, mnemonic to help seamen remember the order of the colours go: Rub - Red, Your - Yellow, Balls - Blue, With - White, Grease - Green. Or the simple >30m vessel - two-colour system using just red and white markings!

[@christopherconklin1877]

Of all the great characteristics of stainless steel chain, such as stacking well, mud shedding and staying clean, and good looks, one thing it doesn't do well is accept paint. Chain counters are needed.

[@Jeff527]

Sadly, those plastic cable ties usually end up in the water, which is frowned upon.

[@michaeltca3103]

-- QUESTION -- Any idea what the running fuel cost on this? Is it 2 MPG? is that the way to approach budgeting for a journey? Certainly worth it for an extended cruise.

[@FlemingYachts]

I don't know where you got the idea we are using Venture II. We are still using the original Venture which now has over 71,000 nautical miles under her keel. Venture II was built to European spec and remains in Europe. She was sold about 10 years ago and I believe she is currently in Greece. Fuel consumption depends very much on speed. Venture burns about 1.5 US gallons per mile at a cruising speed of around 9.5 knots.
