Venture Goes Visiting

In this video we attend the first of our scheduled social engagements, celebrate my birthday in Victoria, respond to a Mayday (m'aidez) distress call and make our way to the fine city of Vancouver,

[@attiemeintjes8989]

Tony, I want to say thank you for sharing with us your birthday and adventures. I am a 78 year old x-farmer of the Freestate in South Africa. The commentary, and your way of speaking English speak to our hearts. Thank you.

[@steve-marsh]

As always, enchantingly beautiful scenes along with commentary I could listen to all day...

[@magdazanchetta]

Happy Birthday Mr Fleming! I love your videos so much! I find myself so lucky to be on this Earth at the same time as you. Thanks for your time and sensibility!❤

[@cantinhopaz3873]

Happy Birthday, Mr Tony! I love you sharing such nice videos, that take me along with you to places I would never dream of! Thank you sp much!

[@leopanunzio4105]

I haven't seen one video from Mr. Fleming that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Thank you sooo much for this free entertainment.

[@bretanderson5283]

God bless 🙏 Happy birthday 🎉 Thank you for all the joy you bring to so many people’s lives ❤

[@AreRisnes]

Thank you Bret Anderson. This was a very good and wonderful Comment.

[@danaleighton6529]

Love the photo of you in kilt and sporran along with your sister. Thanks for bringing us along on your AdVentures at sea... Cheers

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Love your adventures

[@PGodin54]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us all, beautiful videos of British Columbia. 😊🇨🇦

[@tomquinn5437]

So much for rising sea levels due to global warming! Your videos are superb and lower my stress and blood pressure. Thanks for who you are and what you do.

[@HoggerCaptain]

Wishing you, albeit belated at this point, a very happy birthday Mr. Fleming. Another wonderful video. Thank you.

[@hobbsy4261]

Yes, as a regular viewer I should like to add my Best wishes on your birthday, now you’ve got us guessing, I’ll have to re-read your book Riding the Tide to work out exactly which birthday it is but do share it in your next video instalment anyway. This latest video reminds me of a visit made to Vancouver Island back in 1998 visiting my relatives and descendants who emigrated from Blairgowrie Scotland in the early 1920’s. A love;y trip cumulating in a Rocky Mountaineer excursion. Thanks so much again for your fantastic videos and narrative. Alan, Essex UK.

[@LynBailey7]

Thank you so much for sharing another spectacular adventure. As I am from Australia, I get so much pleasure from your amazing trips. I have particularly loved this series as I have cruised Vancouver to Anchorage three times on large cruise ships and loved every minute of it. Your series has taken me to parts of this journey I would never get to see myself, so thank you once again for sharing your magical experiences. ♥♥

[@robertgrant1837]

Hi Lyn yeah what's not to love about British Columba I was fortunate enough to have been to Canada four times twice the west coast and twice on the other, like you I quite enjoy these videos, I to am an Australian

[@LynBailey7]

@@robertgrant1837 Like you, once I visited BC and Alberta, I was hooked. Have only been to Canada's West Coast, but it won my heart on my very first trip. Have fabulous memories of ski trips to Whistler, Lake Louise and Big White, and trips to Canada and Alaska twice, including train travel on The Rocky Mountaineer, and cruising northbound twice and southbound once. Hope to get back there yet again at some time in the future.

[@jenniferlevine5406]

Beautiful video. Most locals have no idea how beautiful and special our coast is. Thank you for making this video of my home. Best Birthday Wishes!

[@archivist68]

Oh wow, Thank you for highlighting junior sailing! The clubs that support it are to be highly commended. It brought back so many memories of my races on Lake Ontario as a kid. What a bunch of sailors in "bumper cars" we were! Thanks again for a lovely video.

[@johnparker3065]

We have been sailing these waters for nearly five decades. How fitting your first port of call is Victoria's Inner Harbor, hands down the most beautiful harbor in this hemisphere. Your perspectives seem to always identify unique conditions we have missed after dozens of visits. Great beginning to the new cruising ground for VENTURE, Happy Birthday.

[@davids8048]

Tony, thank you for sharing another interesting, well produced video of your journeys. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to them.

[@cush3230]

Happy birthday Tony, I hope you have many more abord Venture with family and friends. By the way, Great video. MC.

[@stevee.7419]

Happy Birthday Tony

[@cageordie]

If I could live anywhere I liked I'd probably go for one of the islands round there. My sister in law used to live on Bowen Island and has relatives in the area. I've been on the Coho several times. We stayed in one of the end rooms of the Inn at Laurel Point where you get a 270 degree view of the aircraft and ships passing by. It's very strange to see an aircraft flying down the harbor. Thank you for taking us along on this trip.

[@injoycards]

I knew you were a classy guy, but your seamanship with the tiny boat in distress really was great to see. Thank you, Tony! I see now, that you live by your convictions. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[@shirleyboy8859]

Utterly Delightful Tony...... The Ferry COHO is the same age as me..... But looks in a lot better condition than I am..... I think I need a thorough overhaul!!! :-))

[@georgeburns7251]

It is always nice to follow your trek.

[@fokaspetrogiannis4403]

Excellent 👌

[@africanleopard1920]

Your sailing videos are amazing and inspiring. It give me emotional comfort and relief from stress and strain we have every day life. Thank you. I want to sail on a wonderful voyage like you did. By the way - your recent videos have too much red color. It does not look natural. Please reduce "Hue" & "Saturation" feature in your video editor software when editing video. Anyway - we love your sailing videos. Thank you. We feel good when watching your beautiful sailing journey videos.

[@christopherpeterson1400]
