Venture to Iceland. Part One. Southampton to Scotland

I only found this channel a couple of days a go. David attenborough eat your hat. If i'm not mistaken. These videos were created by Tony fleming himself. Sailing on his own yacht. Built in his own boat yard.I bend the knee Sir.

Dear Tony, Your expertise in making these videos should be held as a bench mark to travel documentary makers everywhere, I enjoyed every single second, with your wonderful knowledge and passion for everything encountered on your sojourns, just like we had been there with you, bless you for posting this, I shall look forward to seeing more, take care and best wishes for calm seas and prosperous voyages

Good old Great Britain, we’ve been here independent from 1066 the last time these lands had been successfully invaded, no other country in the World can say that!

I have watched this episode now the 4th time, I love it ....never gets old. Thanks Tony

[@Carrera-gp9od]

As a Scot I suppose I’m biased, this was absolutely stunning ! If the weather is half decent there is no where I’d rather be than the west coast of Scotland . It’s utterly beautiful!

[@jeffmartin8953]

such a gift for telling a story....a good eye for scenes and beauty, s sense of how to tie all together, great selection of music to set a feeling, and that voice....sage, calm, knowing. God has certainly blessed him w/such gifts, and not to mention the ability to design great boats, and I am glad to have come across these videos.

[@ianwaudby7737]

The Scottish coastline and its stunning islands were superb with a very interesting narration.

Thank you for this beautiful film l am a old Fisher man form Holland my first visit was on 64 to Oban so good to see this back thank you

[@joannen3470]

Very well done video record of a remarkable trip. Unlike too many travel videos, you keep the focus on the scenery, not the traveler. The narration is lean and informative. My only regret is that you lost your primary, higher definition camera relatively early in the trip.

[@dannettepeters1507]

Each time I have viewed this wonderful video, I am so moved. There are so many reasons why, but I think what touched me most is your visit to your great-grandfather's childhood home and his story of so long ago. I believe that our Mr. Fleming, has most definitely inherited his great-grandfather's poetic spirit! On to Part two, again!

[@donaldrude6155]

Tony has done a fantastic library of films and his dialog is great! We sold our classic 40 foot Matthews 15 years ago. We spent 25 years cruising Washington and British Columbia and thanks to Tony for being able to relive the many places we cruised, as we are now 80 years old.

[@Leblond987]

What a brilliant video! I loved it. Two thumbs up!!

[@saltydogashore]

This series is so seductive. The narrator (who is he?) is superb. His timing and script is beautiful, spare and entirely informative.

[@donnakerr4997]

People seem so nonchalant about passing in front of the ruins of a castle in a modern day vehicle be it boat or car. Just seeing these magnificent structures gives me goosebumps, I am so impressed. Everything that I have seen in these wonderful videos emphasizes the cohabitation between the ancient and the modern.

[@nauticusyachting]

Tony, thank you for such an expert documentary. What a pleasant and relaxing evening you have provided me, form your spot on music,knowledge, photography, your spectacular focus on presentation and your extremely calming voice, all put together in such a natural way as to perfectly match the beautiful natural surroundings you have shared with us. I have learned over time that one must put a lot of time and effort into making these videos and to accomplish such quality, one must love what they are doing. I admire and respect the position that you have accomplished in life to enable you and your family/ friends to do these adventurous trips, you deserve it as I can feel your enjoyment, taking us along and sharing something that we will not get the chance to do. We owe you, CHEERS. Jim Young Halifax Nova Scotia . By the way, it sure would have been nice to visit with you guys when you were in Halifax awhile back.

We have had visits to many of these wonderful places, including Jura, Mull and Iona. The guys piloting the tour boat to Staffa are very skilful in mooring at that jetty, it must take a lot of practice and no room for error! The puffins on Staffa were so lovely.

This is certainly a most enjoyable video. As I wannabe boater I'm living vicariously. I was just brought up short however when I realized that I knew the name Isle of Jura. I once had a bottle of single malt scotch from that distillery. Of the three that came in that gift box, that was the one I like the most.

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make this. I'm in complete awe of the scenery and history. From Bristol UK

[@stuartsibbald2827]

Such a wonderful piece of art, thank you so much for sharing. I have sailed those waters many times in my time with The Royal Fleet Auxiliary. I would love the chance to sail them and take in the stunning beauty of the west of Scotland at a leisurely pace like you have. Interestingly, for all the seas and oceans I have sailed upon, the passage from Rosyth to Glen Mallan in Loch Long was the worst seas I ever encountered. Hurricane force 13 in the treacherous Pentland Firth with it's 16 knots tide is probably the only time I have ever been in fear of my life at sea.

[@ginarnold5630]

I really appreciated your straightforward approach and you sound very much like people I grew up with, and adventures I have had. At 78, soon to be 79 sailing alone for me is no longer an option, and although I held a USCG 100 ton ticket years back, I am no longer qualified. But your documentary certainly brought back many memories and for an old man, DrakesPassage on a cruise ship was spectacular.
