Venture re-discovers Southeast Alaska 2022. Episode 1

Join us for the first in a new series of videos using fresh footage - including drones - of our visit to to SE Alaska in 2022 in which I focus on what I call the pearls in the necklace representing our journey.

Mr. Fleming, Your productions are some of the best on KZbin and very much enjoyed by the crew on SY TITANIA. It’s an honor when Cris joins us on TITANIA for a sail.

[@josephelden4573]

Mr. Fleming, thank you so much for sharing what I believe is some of the very best content on KZbin. I've watched and rewatched many. I still love learning about the world and your productions take me to places I will never be able to view in person. I am grateful.

[@tomdunn1254]

Thank you for the new video. Please keep them coming!!

[@ericfamilyname9152]

I’ve been on all the adventures that you have wonderfully shared with us and I hope to take many more because I hope that you get to enjoy many more adventurous nautical wonders round the world.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Tony you make the best Trawler Yacht travelogues...very poetic and very inspiring! You have inspired me to cruise the temperate waters of Alaska....whether that actually happens or not is a different thing but you have created within me a desire...I totally love your explorations...you are living the life I want to live!!!

[@Urgleflogue]

Oh my god. The best boat. When I grow up, I'll buy one and live on it. Thanks, Tony!

[@ellensburgwa5087]

Awesome video , as usual. Perfect scenery. Thanks for bringing all those places to our homes.

[@pscotty]

First the cinematography, second the narration and lastly, living vicariously through your videos. Thank you!

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

Calming intelligent commentary in a landscape and seascape that's as beautiful as it gets.

[@mvemerson]

Still the best boating videos anywhere. Although our boat is supposed to be “Alaska capable” this video make me think that I need something bigger.

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

Incredible footage as always, thanks for sharing.

[@jacksonsayer3172]

I saw Venture in Coal Harbour about a month ago. I was walking along the seawall and noticed a beautiful yacht in the marina. I started to look at it a bit closer and thought "wow, this looks quite familiar". After looking at the name on the stern I got so excited, my friends had no idea why, so I explained and had them take a picture of me with Venture in the background. I quite enjoy your videos in the PNW.

[@lostfingerart]

Thank you Tony for this series. My wife and I are enjoying it immensely...places we will only ever visit through your lens.

[@stuartsutherland7664]

Lovely relaxing film to watch! Many thanks for sharing.

[@giorgiomazzoleni3377]

Always beautiful

[@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698]

When I was a little boy as far back as I can recall, our family vacationed on Gabriola Island in B.C. My Mom was Canadian, and we would stay in the family cabin and visit Her parents just down the road. My Mom showed me the wonderment of Sandstone Beaches, Calm Oceanic Waters and Tiny Life forms in the Tidal Pools there. There is even a False Narrows between Gab. Is. and Mudge Island with a pretty fast flow when the Tide changes from low to high and back. Thanks Mom for opening my eyes to a place on this planet that holds a significant place in my Heart...

[@alasdairmackenzie905]

Superb yet again. And what a voice for narration - wonderful.

[@mikatahtinen5094]

❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely best videos in KZbin👍🏻👍🏻

[@dorflonnigan4413]

Thank you for an excellant video, can't wait for more. Thank you

[@GarlTsagan]

Liking the video as always. You make great content. I've shared your videos with a lot of people over the years. Making this one non embeddable is painful. Appreciate your content

[@thomasschwarz8876]

As always: film and comments are great and quiet

[@VidsPhone]

I always love Tony's videos. He is one of the most gracious and real people I have ever had the pleasure of aligning myself with.

[@paullindell6596]

i have just discovered Ventures videos. Absolutely amazing. Videos professional class and narration calm and intelligent. Thank you,

[@whispjohn]

Another beautiful video from Tony Fleming, astonishing scenes and that calming voice, very enjoyable, thanks.

[@BobEstler]

Amazing video. As always.

[@paulrise5284]

Wow, what can i say other than superb. Again Tony, brilliant.

[@ianscott3180]

I have been a sailor since I was a boy in the West of Scotland and have sailed most of Europe and the Med. This in small keel boats but at seventy it is getting harder by the year, old hips don't help. I stood high in the park in Vancouver looking north a few years ago and so wished I my little yacht was not in Europe. I would have loved to have explored BC and beyond, thanks for bringing it closer for us. Maybe a big lottery win and I can hang up my genoa a buy a Fleming to enjoy my retirement in a bit more comfort. 😀

[@richardbedard1245]

I really enjoy your videos. I love the sounds of nature, so I was delighted that you remained silent as you went passed the falls; however, I do enjoy your soothing narration as well. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

[@archivist68]

You have the mind of a scientist and the heart of a poet!! I love the videos!

[@fishpest2039]

Bravo! bravo! another stunning video Tony, such magnificent scenery and of course narration

[@MrGeroth]

Tony love your videos. Please keep making them. Thanks for sharing.

[@citetez]

Old logging camps are one of the most interesting things about cruising the West coast for me - probably because I lived in one as a kid. The original stuff is long grown over, but the areas are often being logged again for second or third growth, and the roads re-opened. If you're lucky you can find the occasional piece of old equipment, or the remains of a camp. The buildings are usually gone, but the shops tend to leave a footprint. A big cement floor and years of diesel and oil and God-knows-what spilled (or dumped) around the area tend to inhibit the regrowth.

[@organichemone]

Love your videos! Keep them coming! These are places I’ll never see. Awesome!

[@hedhtr4]

I very much like your voice over for Viking cruises.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Good to see you back, Tony!

[@laraeirwin1211]

Thank goodness you are back making stories. You have been missed, we cannot wait to start our journey in a couple of years. Thank you so much

[@AlaskanAmblers]

Magical, Tony! Really enjoyed these pearls, and looking forward to more pearls on that necklace, as you enter to "real Alaska!"

[@ss-5553]

Nice boat - Nice life - Nice landscape !

[@boatingolympia]

Soothing voice and compelling narration as usual. Thanks again

[@josephschmoe3796]

Thank you Mr. Fleming for another wonderful video.

[@brianmason3941]

Thank you, Tony. I was there in early Sept on the Norwegian Bliss. Ketchican, Sitka, Juneau, Hoonah. This trip started me searching for a vessel to return. Regards, Brian

[@mikelusli3233]

Yes, very enjoyable with perfect realxing background music.

[@paulalane8638]

Your videos are much more scenic and interesting than the cruise I took. You have captured the stunning beauty of AK, not to mention your detailed narrative and wonderful choice of music. Appreciative beyond words, Mr. Fleming!

[@ianwilde5379]

Thank you again tony for this video.

[@deepwaterescue4u]

[@ss-5553]

Thank's for very good video !

[@jeffcore7631]

We traveled to Alaska this year and definitely noticed the dramatic increase in visitors over prior visits. Good for the local businesses, not as enjoyable for the hefty prices. Your mode of traveling is so appealing as our your many beautiful videos and calming narration, thanks mr Fleming.

[@bloodyeyeful]

That was beautiful man....thanks.

[@MetaView7]

What a priceless experience. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ronlokk]

Whenever I was able to get on my boat, I was able to leave the world and all its madness behind, at least for a few hours or days. So glad I am able to do this again in your videos. LOL.

[@kennypool]

Nice to hear your voice again, thought you might be sleeping with Davey Jones. Keep traveling, don't let the grim reaper catch you.

[@pworker8124]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@robertgrant1837]

I would dearly love to go back to north america love the videos Tony

[@jenniferlevine5406]

Wonderful video. Beautifully done. It was good to be back in Alaska this year.

[@davidT-r2r]

Thank you very much sir for upload the video.

[@7windhills78]

Outstanding!!!

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Beauty I cannot see in person...thank you so much❤😊

[@richardbedard1245]

Extremely beautiful! The shot of the distant mountains at sundown, and no fog, was the best. Also, very interesting about the three boats and how far they have traveled.

[@Howoldareweanywayyipes]

There you... i lost track of you... your videos are so interesting... and to think we paid only 7 Million to buy Alaska... i love your boats sir. and your knowledge of how to navigate on the fjords.

[@shadrackzulu6138]

Thank you!

[@apistosig4173]

recollections abundant - awesome presentation - thanks. Petersburg, Wrangel, Sitka all wonderful

[@kevinski000]

Awesome as always. Thanks Mr. Fleming.

[@mcd5082]

Thanks for sharing Tony! Love the videos!

[@robinbhairosingh7487]

O my goodness yes very lovely to see Tk you very much for that 💞💞💞💞😍😍😍😍🇹🇹🇹🇹T&T🇹🇹 will come you 👍👍👍

[@tommes55]

Oh please, Mr. Fleming, give us much more of your wonderful videos of peace and nature... exploring this stunning and beautiful place on earth...greetings from Germany 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@franks9753]

Really great footage. Keep them comming

[@bradleynorton3365]

Yay! New Fleming videos!

[@Jeff527]

What a great video of where I live. I met you in Taku Harbor several years ago. Having a Fleming is my dream.

[@daveberquist2593]

Tony - Thanks for another most excellent video. I'm trying to convince my son to buy a Fleming and take us for cruises such as this, but I'm not sure how that will work out. Our Cape Dory Typhoon Senior isn't quite up to the task but, we live in hope. Could you tell me what camera you are using for your work? As are many, I am grateful to be a vicarious crew member on your trips. David Attenborough need look no further for his replacement.

[@FlemingYachts]

My main camera is a Panasonic GH5. There is a video titled "How I make my videos" on Flemingyachts.com and clicking on the red You Tube arrow at top right of the home page.

[@maxamus]

Most enjoyable ....Thank you.

[@andrewmcconville1848]

Tony, so good I was there with you.

[@robertkadow3367]

Awesome - thanks

[@stephenscott963]

Will be exploring next year around May to September from Seattle to Jeneau Alaska, Florida boy, so excited but a little nervous about the big weather and seas! Thoughts and or recommendations much appreciated!, New Subscriber love your videos!

[@FlemingYachts]

There is nothing to be afraid of. In many ways it is safer than Florida because the only hazards are natural and not man made, Take the Inside Passage which almost everyone does. The only places this is not fully protected waters is Queen Charlotte Sound north of Vancouver Island, a short distance just north of Bella Bella and Dixon Entrance between Prince Rupert and Ketchikan. Be sure to have cruising guides by Douglas and Waggoner. Pay attention to the weather forecasts.

[@FlemingYachts]

The few places that have rapids need to be negotiated at slack water which does not occur at tidal high or low water but when water levels are equal. So have access to tide and current tables. Starlink is a huge benefit for communication. Most of the route is in protected waters. Just pay attention to the weather and the tides and it is very simple. People have done it in kayaks and on paddle boards.

[@glengullickson6538]

Somewhere between Ketchikan and Meyers Chuck, there is a bronze hawse hole cover on the bottom, ripped off of SV Laurel while taking green water over the bow! And while transiting Wrangel Narrows, we had to head WAY out of the channel to allow a large tug and tow to get by. We were happy to get back in the channel until we heard a Pan Pan on the vhf for a log boom broken loose and headed our way. That was pretty exciting, too. Great memories!😊
