In this episode we leave remote Lituya Bay and visit the historic town of Sitka - originally settled by the Klingit people, occupied by the Russians and sold to the United States.

I think there is never a good place to end your videos. They are the best on youtube

[@thecarpentersarmsbbq7660]

Simply superb. I love watching this channel and listening to the wonderful narrative in the gentle tones of Mr Fleming. This particular video made me want to comment, to say that I believe these videos are getting even better than the normal high standard set over the last 20 years. Brilliant and many many thanks. Please keep them coming

[@lancerproductions57]

Thank you Tony for producing yet another mesmerizing video! Always an instant watch for me.

Beautifully done, Thank you.😊

Always a delight Tony.... :-))

[@hartpfortmueller4002]

Wonderful narrative as usual Tony as well as beautiful photography. I hope we’ll be able to enjoy more episodes soon.

[@paulbayliss3017]

Thank you Tony, as always too short - a measure of the quality content, please keep them coming.

[@richardgosling2427]

Not that I could afford one of these! Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures, beautiful story telling, these relax me thank you!

[@7windhills78]

Just enjoy all your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@phillipmeacham]

Your stories and videos are what my dreams are made of. Literally makes me so happy watching. I just picture how cool the guy behind that voice and these journeys has to be. Thank you friend

[@paulcunningham2859]

Awesome

[@michaelmargolies]

Why does the vintage yacht pump out so much water, is it taking that much on while at anchor?

[@FlemingYachts]

I am not sure to which boat you are referring but if it is a fishing boat it will be the cooling system for the refrigeration. They run continuously.

[@ronaldeaker6402]

At the bow? My guess is chain and anchor wash is not shut off yet.

[@jamwest3146]

Another wonderful video! Thank you Tony.

[@ronaldleach9899]

Your videos and commentary are always top notch. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@russty96]

[@therealkrystalvintage]

just what i was thinking🎉

[@edwardearl1]

phenomenal Tony. while living in Blaine, WA, a neighbor purchases a 55 Fleming. Had a chance to experience the workmanship and excellent ride.

[@carnellc]

I’ve been watching your videos for the past several years and I’ve always appreciated the detail, in which you edit your videos. Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through your adventures. Following Seas

[@Dennis-uc2gm]

Westward also reminded me of the African Queen and at almost 100 what a history ! I find your videos very relaxing and always look forward to the next one.

[@christopherpeterson1400]

Love the videos,, i miss them

[@teresaholland2300]

Love this video. We were there with you, our catamaran was in your video. come What May says thanks!

[@Islandlife907]

Absolutely love your videos Tony! I live in Sitka and I especially enjoy your Alaska adventures! Thank you for the feature too! My boat is seen around 7minutes in between the Ice Bear and the Adak. (Dauntless is her name) Your adventures are an inspiration. And your boats are a dream. Thank you for everything you do!

[@patrickreid2767]

Your video is so much appreciated!!

[@SabrinaEickhoffingly]

I am sure that I speak for about 79,100 other subscribers in offering some well deserved sympathy to you for feeling the need to make your statement at the beginning of this and a few other videos. It is too bad that there are turds in the punch bowl. Shame on them. 😡 I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS TONY!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! ❤️ Thank you for your kind generosity in sharing your fantastic material with us!!!

[@darrinaj14]

At 7:49 you can see my cal 29 sailboat way in the back! I’m famous! Haha

[@jasonshull3106]

Thank you, sir, for your great videos 👍

[@danalarock9914]

Thanks so much, for these very enjoyable Videos! I've watched them all, (usually, while I'm on my Treadmill). The Views & Videography, & music are Excellent. You've brought me to places I'll probably never see in person. Once again, THANKS!!

[@michaelmargolies]

These remind me of National Geo and Mutual of Omaha documentaries from the 70s. No rush to create fake entertainment of fake situations for the viewers just enjoy the scenery and Flemings's great narrations..

[@pvavmnpls]

As always Tony you have created another beautiful, informative, and entertaining video to show us more of the wonder of the world we live in. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to share your talents and beautiful boat Venture with us. I have loved your videos for several years and found your book to be an inspiration. Thank you.

[@honey8784]

Thanks again for a lovely video. I’ve learned a lot since I started watching Tony’s Videos.

[@jossrafisura6276]

Thanks for the new video Sir!

[@jgriff3218]

Like aways, a very well done video. Love the out door scenery.

[@cush3230]

Another great video Tony, Your the best. Looking forward for the next. MC.

[@mary-ellenbiggs3902]

Westward's engine sounded, to me, like the one in the movie The African Queen. Thankyou for making and sharing the videos of your travels. Your videos are beautiful and I really appreciate all the time that you invest in them. I do have to be careful when I watch them, however, as the combination of your background music and your soothing narrative has, quite often, put me to sleep. I prefer the classic lines of your motor yachts and my husband prefers the style of the Nordhavns.

[@thegrantclan]

The way you present yourself and your videos are outstanding thank you so much 🇬🇧

[@Fumbuzi]

I love your videos. I also love watching other boating video channel enthusiasts who give tours around yachts like Aquaholic. My favourite videos of his are when he tours Nordhavn and, of course, Fleming yachts. My favourite saying, "if you're floating, you're boating." Would it be possible for you to make a video of you showing us around your boat? Could you comment on some boats you've come across in your years of sailing? There are some like people like Sailing La Vagabonde that are making a carbonfibre trimaran. Do you have any opinions about that as someone who's 3 generations older than them? (no insult intended)

[@thomasschwarz8876]

I like all your videos the very best. So I'm soory to be too old and less of money to sail by myself

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

Wonderful calming cadence in your commentary with remarkable images of one of the truly wild places left on earth.

[@MrGeroth]

Westward is the most beautiful boat I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing.

[@aswinseptian4194]

I wonder people live in another side of the world. This video is the answer

[@Urgleflogue]

Beautiful video, thank you, Tony!

[@jmsask]

It’s addictive watching your videos 🍻

[@arniezarach20]

Thank you very much Tony.

[@fokaspetrogiannis]

Excellent 👌

[@steveprice4779]

Sitka is a great town. And Alaska Airlines flies there daily I believe. Doing a Yacht delivery back in 2015 from Cordova to Seattle we stopped there for a couple days. We moored right next to the 130' Westport built yacht "Serengeti" built for Johnny Carson in 2002. Sadly he died in 2005. So fun to see a Famous Yacht up close and personal. While in Ketchikan on the same trip a Beautiful 65 Fleming moored next to us...not Venture unfortunately. The 65 Fleming is a true work of Art.

[@guymanges3628]

A long time Tony, Thank you as always for your vast knowledge...

[@richardboyden5553]

So glad you mentioned the Atlas-Imperial marine engine

[@peggyswander3744]

Ah, peace in a turbulent world. Thank you.

[@Jeff527]

Just FYI ... "Klingit" is spelled "Tlingit".

[@ClintLundie]

Easy to find that old unit... Just follow the oil slick.. 😉

[@tinalarson793]

Spent many great times on the water in SE Alaska. 😊😊💞💞

[@robertfrost1683]

Thank You Tony !

[@jimmyjohns4609]

Nice Tony.

[@northwestexplorer5883]

How long you figure before you refit Venture with electric engines?

[@hartpfortmueller4002]

Not practical by a long shot!

[@asertreg3311]

👍👍👍

[@razvan0312]

love your videos, i m really inspired by them

[@TheArrow1100]

Tony You have nice yachts and you are an axe lent videographer . Makes me want a 65' ? The boat , the boat ? Can you or one of your crew talk about her? I know it is not nice ; but , high seas , fuel, range ., speed . That kinda info ( captains POV ). What is the Fleming ? Please don't stop doing what you are doing it is great stuff. Cheers.

[@FlemingYachts]

My videos are focused on the cruising experience and were never made with the intention of promoting the brand or providing technical details. I think you will find the kind of practical info you are looking for by visiting Flemingyachts.com where you will find a wealth of current information. I retired from managing the company at the age of 73 fifteen years ago.

[@TheArrow1100]

@@FlemingYachts Cheers, will do . Great videos keep it up .

[@commutinginatlanta9163]

Do you holystone the teak decks?

[@FlemingYachts]

No. Just soap and water

[@peterhaan9068]

As a viewer, I would much prefer no music and NO AD'S! Don't think for a moment that KZbin isn't behind forcing you to place ad's in your video's!

[@FlemingYachts]

I thought I had made it crystal clear we have NEVER EVER placed a single ad on any of my 175 videos. If you see an ad it was placed there against my wishes. You Tube do what they wish but they do make it possible for my videos to be seen world wide which a few years ago would have been impossible.

[@peterhaan9068]

@@FlemingYachts My point was, if there is no music then there can't be any copyright claims! My second point was, KZbin is most likely initiating these copy right claims under fake YT accounts! Since YT is the only party profiting from these copyright claims, it hardly seems likely that individual(s) 'out there' would go to the trouble since YT already has all the technology to seek out music and identify any music played on any YT video! FYI KZbin can and will put ads on all your videos going back to video #1.

[@ML-lg4ky]

Thanks Tony!

[@JamestheBartholemeu]

I appreciate your inclusion of the Russian influence of the area. My understanding of their influence was not realized to myself until I had ventured into the realm of northern California. Much to my surprise, I became aware of Fort Ross. A old fort that was originally crafted in the age of Russian fur trading. Today's presentation is very delightful, magnified by currently being blanketed in a beautiful winters' snowfall. Cheers to Venture. I drink a toast of my favorite single malt from the Isle of Islay to the crew of Venture.

What you do for a living to be able to afford a nice yacht and have time just to cruise around for months.
