We head south from Sitka - exploring the maze of islands and hidden bays that are a feature of the remote exposed west coast of Baranof Island.

I've got zero chance of visiting these places, so thanks for taking me there. PS. Your voice over is the David Attenborough of the sailing world.

I wanted to take a moment to express how much I have been enjoying your videos and commentary on the trips you've been taking on Venture. Your videos are truly awesome, and the narrative is perfect. I have found myself eagerly awaiting each new upload to see where your next adventure will take you. I appreciate the attention to detail you put into each video, from the stunning shots to the engaging commentary that accompanies each clip. I want to thank you for taking the time to document your journeys and sharing them with us. Your videos have provided me with a much-needed escape from the stresses of everyday life, and I have enjoyed every single one of them. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing where your next voyage on Venture takes you.

[@jackfischer5153]

Your video grabbed me within the first 2 or 3 seconds, I had never seen or herd of Venture before Very nice..

[@MrGeroth]

Tony, you bring happiness to an old man. Thanks for sharing.

[@ljl8764]

Thank for your beautiful work. I have watched over and over. I did not know you purposely do not monetize but I appreciate it. When I click On your video I realize I dont have to brace for an ad. It just starts playing in its very gentle way and I love it. Thank you for your hard work and generosity. You are a wonderful artist.

[@andrewSUN17]

Thank you so much Tony, you are a national treasure for providing such eloquent works of video graphic art. Keep it coming. I look forward to meeting you one fine day.

[@suziqbrown7073]

There are no words to properly express how much I love your Alaska videos. Such a beautiful, peaceful, exciting adventure you take us on. The only bad thing about them is they come to an end. I hope you never stop taking us on your adventures!

[@chrisbirch3765]

Lovely Tony and thank you so much for your films. Great therapy in a busy world.

[@stephen2215]

Great video. Editing. Writing. Narration. Everything. So artful. And a beautiful vessel. Thanks for taking the time.

Wonderful as usual! Love your vids. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this stunning and beautiful video.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Suburb as always. The drone footage brings a whole new dimension. These videos are works of art Tony.

[@btcusick]

You sir are a National Treasure. Thank you, for sharing your life on Venture with All of Us.

Stunningly beautiful!!! Thank you Tony!!! With all my heart, thank you!!!

[@vaqueen5554]

I really enjoy watching your series, been watching for a long time.

[@cush3230]

Thank you Tony and crew for another great video. I really enjoy them. MC.

[@skirybondirynakers4962]

Just amazing

[@thecroftericmiller496]

We make noise, our ambitions are admirable on this journey of life, but the best moments along the way our small, solitary and quiet in my belief. For an instance we see all our efforts for what they are, necessities of our own choice, but we are what we are and it is what it is. We are small in this world but we think big and when we trim to the breeze that there is and not the breeze, there ought to be, the wind will always bring us home.

[@leilamorgan8008]

Such relaxing and beautiful videos. I enjoy every single one of them.❤

[@roger9453]

A Nat Geo moment! Your videos are awesome and navigational skill are perfect!

[@gregsage1605]

Absolutely beautiful! I love your series. Thank you for sharing.

[@Seavoyager45]

Can't wait!!!

[@blearyview2254]

Like the rest of your films, mesmerising👍👍👍

[@MrTrapper28]

Sublime. Really nothing else to add.

[@Plinker007]

Thank you so much!! I ungratefully caught myself begging for this in 4k instead of 1080p. I'm sure even 4k wouldn't do justice to seeing it in person.

[@arcticthundergamer113]

Love these videos i was born and raised in SE Alaska i don't live there anymore this helps me remember Thank you so much.

[@rickmccoy7260]

Hoping you will visit the west coast of Prince of Wales Island some day. Would love to see Venture in our area

[@FlemingYachts]

Actually, we did make a short visit to the west coast of Prince of Wales Island this past summer and it will be covered in an upcoming video within the next couple of months. We were not there long enough to do it justice but we were favourably impressed.

[@billbligh4547]

Another glorious episode, thank you. Have finally cottoned on to the meaning of the pearls, I doubt the swine will realise! 😂

[@HoggerCaptain]

Awesome.

[@dbmathis]

Hello! My wife and I have been long-time fans of your boats and videos, and we look forward to watching them every Sunday morning. We would like to share with you some valuable information about a feature on KZbin that is available to those who are monetized. This feature allows you to receive automatic notifications of anyone using your videos without your permission. With just a few simple questions, you can quickly take down any offending videos and mark them in a way that prevents others from stealing and reposting your content. We have a channel too, and have used this feature. Hope this helps.

[@FlemingYachts]

I am very pleased to hear that you enjoy my videos. Many thanks for the tip re protecting unauthorised use of my videos. However, none of my videos are monetized. I do not make them to earn money from them and, when monetized, they are defaced by ads over which the creator has no control which I find unacceptable. Every piece of music I use has been purchased with licence from a legitimate stock music company and my biggest problem has been scammers who falsely claim copyright whereupon my videos are monetized, defaced with ads and the revenue shared by Y ou Tube and the scammer and it is up to the creator to prove their innocence.

[@dbmathis]

@@FlemingYachts I see. So they claim copyright of the music and make money off of the videos posted on YOUR channel. Right?

[@FlemingYachts]

@@dbmathis Basically - yes. When there is a copyright claim, You Tube monetize the video and plaster it with ads. The revenue from which is shared with the claimant until the creator can prove that he paid for and has a licence to use the music. I dispute every claim and have so far prevailed and been vindicated but has taken many hours of tedium.

[@cestmoi1262]

The ads are an inconvenience but by far the lesser evil rather than being deprived of having the opportunity to watch these outstanding videos.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Try "AdBlock"..... Takes away all adverts.. so you can watch the videos in all their Glory.... :-))

[@Nordic-Song]

Thanks for a great video. I really enjoyed the “up close” feel of the video and the pace. I was longing to be there!

[@Bonethizzle]

Thank you for the amazing video. I watch them all! One day i hope to own a cruiser and explore like you guys.

[@thecarpentersarmsbbq7660]

Many thanks another great video, with another great narration. For some reason 480 was the highest resolution I could watch it at. Not quite as sharp a picture as previous videos. Cheers Rich

[@billzweig8381]

Would a trip like this be possible without modern electronic navigation tools?

[@FlemingYachts]

Certainly. There are excellent paper charts. Keep in mind the first explorers such as Captain Cook or Vancouver visited here in unwieldy sailing ships without having any knowledge of the coast, the tides and the rocks. Also native peoples have navigated these waters for millions of years. But modern navigation equipment sure makes it a lot easier.

[@marianfrances4959]

@@FlemingYachts actually, it's 12,000 years...

[@FlemingYachts]

@@marianfrances4959 Of course you are correct!

[@rickmccoy7260]

Captain Cook and Captain Vancouver did it in the 18 th century

[@bradolsen8629]

Thank you Tony for another fantastic video. I just wish they were more frequent but again I do appreciate what you do bring us. Thank you I love the music to.

PLEASE know how BLESSED you are to be able to go one such ventures. watching these takes your breath away, i cant imagine being there.

[@ronnronn55]

I'm curious what happened to Venture II? Did you buy back Venture? Is the smaller boat more agile? Thanks, Ronn

[@FlemingYachts]

Original Venture never sold and I still own her. Venture II was sold in 2013 and remains in Europe. Both boats are Fleming 65's.

[@ronnronn55]
