Venture to Prince William Sound. Part 1

During the summer of 2013, we took Fleming 65-001, Venture, from Vancouver Island to Prince William Sound in Alaska. After we left the protection of the Inside Passage and ventured into the Gulf of Alaska we stopped first at Lituya Bay which is the subject of another video. From there we continued north into Prince William Sound where we spent 28 days. This video covers the first half of our time in the Sound.

[@sheilalawrence2991]

Thank you for sharing this. We are from Wisconsin, USA, and took our children to Alaska that summer as well and toured the Sound. This video brings back great memories. God's creation is glorious, isn't it?

[@justmeperthau]

Such glorious scenery... it looks so untouched... I cannot think of a better way to see it than by boat... thank you for sharing :)

Thanks boat and crew i m happyer❤

[@tonkacaptain]

I am sure it has been pointed out, but the Valdez was not in 1979, it was 1989 close to my golden birthday. Being a visitor up here in the Pacific Northwest I have watched all of your videos! They have inspired me and I recommend them to every yacht owner I meet!

0613: on a wildcard guess is that oil emulation scarred on the ice?

Beautiful country visited in a skookum vessel which surely must have been most enjoyable... Well watched, calm winds and following seas... Pappy...

14:05 I've beenon the Klondike express a couple times. Its a great trip to take visiting relatives.

[@VidsPhone]

Thank you Sir. I am proud to say I shared the same waters with you even if only for a day or two while I was headed back south to Bellingham to meet up with my granddaughter there. I daparted Wrangell southbound on the 12th on the M/V Columbia and may have passed you at some point..

[@bilgeratjim]

I must say, I admire your eggs for taking that little plastic boat into all that ice.

[@Joelifant]

Awesome!

[@princeshan0000]

Awesome

We departed Vnacouver Island on May 30th. On June 4th we were in Grenville channel one day south of Prince Rupert. We arrived in Juneau June 15th. If you want more details you can go to our website and click on Cruising on the top menu, then click on Tony's Adventures and read the top blog.

[@Welldriver]

Very good

[@Tephodon]

Hmm... I didn't know Fleming's yaсhts can be icebreakers! Amazing!

[@Erin-Thor]

Tephodon - At very slow speeds I’m guessing it’s safe, they did seem to be almost coasting. But yes, I’d be nervous negotiating that passage!

[@VidsPhone]

May I ask as to what the dates were when you would have been between Vancouver and Juneau? It is possible I was on a boat that you passed as I was there from June 4th until June 14th, 2013.

[@jcline147]

I’d like to know how the devil you can slip through those ice laden waters without damaging the hull? One would think it could be a major issue.

[@ldgrmp]

Is the Venture steel hulled or wood?

[@FlemingYachts]

Fibreglass.

[@puckettcorneliusjones8242]

@@FlemingYachts Excellent videos and great design of the Fleming series. If you ever decide to open a dealership in Galveston, Sea brook Texas let me know. Bob
