    Good day, Mr Flemming. I just want to say thank you for this video's. The Lord bless you with a very calm voice that's got a very calming effect on a Huntingtons patient (50 years old) that we are looking after. He enjoys your videos and looks them over and over. Thank you very much.

    My parents were lucky to make this Inner Passage voyage up to Alaska on their friends yacht The OIC. They had taken other trips with them before. But we’re totally enchanted by this cruise in particular.
    Thanks to you, I’m getting to see what they experienced 💗💗💗

    My name is Jorge Azpiazu. I have been in the production industry for more than 30 years. What you do is incredible. Excellent editing, super educational, wonderful photography, you make me feel like you're talking only to me, you have a perfect timing to capture the beauty and mystery of places that not many know. Thank you so much for making us part of your wonderful experiences and may God bless your talent to continue telling stories.

    Your three part series "Venture to Alaska" brought back some of our fondest memories of life aboard our pilothouse trawler. Although we were on a 49 Defever your route to Alaska almost mimicked ours. Thanks for taking the time to produce and upload the video.

    Wow! - Good to see Prince Rupert, Kitimat & Ketchikan from this angle..... The coast - from northern Cal., all the way up to Alaska, is one of the most beautiful I've seen on my journeys across the world. and the pristine _smell_ from the coastal forests, just has to be experienced.....( BTW; The MY ''VENTURE'' was a true gem!) Thanks for sharing!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    We have been to Alaska by motor home visiting many of the ports you entered,which was very nice.
    Your videos are extraordinary !
    Having owned many boats and cruised the entire East coast and the Bahamas and Cuba,nothing compares to your ventures.
    Great job Mr Flemming!

    • @davidmarshall718
      @davidmarshall718 5 лет назад

      The so-called "Northern Gateway Pipeline" mentioned in this video has been cancelled as of late 2016, largely by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who I do not support for a lot of other reasons but he did the proper thing environmentally in cancelling it. The project was proposed by Enbridge Pipelines of Calgary Alberta and was massively supported by the largely foreign-owned and extremely powerful Alberta Oil Industry and the very Oil-Industry-supporting Alberta right wing Provincial Gov't at that time. In a few months the current left wing Alberta Provincial Gov't will probably be voted out of office in May 2019, and Trudeau may lose the Autumn 2019 Federal election, so there is a real danger this pipeline and the oil terminal which could ship a tanker every second day through extremely dangerous and rough waters may be resurrected, if there was a massive oil spill like the Exxon Valdez it could easily threaten southeast Alaska as well as devastate everything you see here.

    Nice video, but keep in mind every stitch of clothing you wear, the boat you cruise in not to mention the fuel comes from oil. Until there is an alternative we are stuck with it. Now on the subject of oil - the dirtiest oil in the world is produced in third world countries - not Canada. It should also be noted that pipelines (which are heavily regulated in Canada) are the safest way of transporting the fuel. I could go on but I think you understand where I am coming from. Best regards

    A 38' trawler in sound condition would be more than adequate to do such a trip. Just learn the rules of the road and understand how to read a chart and the tide tables and you are good to go. Actually boting up the inside passage is really very safe as you are in protected waters most of the way. Watch the weather, pay attention to the tides and keep a look out for logs. Everybody we met at marinas and elsewhere extremely nice and friendly. Go for it as soon as you can!

    This scenic and quiet beauty has to be shared either up close and personal or by video. Some things are so beautiful that words alone can not do them/it justice. It becomes a spiritual adventure so profound it will last a lifetime. Thank you for taking us along with you and for doing such a wonderful job of narrating. I was quite literally mesmerized by it all.

    Don’t judge the tar sands until you’ve figured out how to replace the energy they supply, haven’t come across a solar powered dozer ,plane or train yet , you have a nice boat where do you keep the solar panels couldn’t see them in the video, the cruise ships that call in every day are the life blood of these communities bringing in much needed revenue, thinking of planing a similar trip where did you fuel up, and was your fuel “clean” or was it from the tar sands

    I was on bulk carriers and visited Vancouver Island a few times to load timber and up the coast from Vancouver, a beautiful part of the world. Your film reminded me of those trips and a big girl called Kath, hahaha, oh yes, pizza delivery too! As for the guy harping on about being hypocritical, I wonder if he ever travelled by jet plane? I have been following your trip with interest, your boat looks like a very good all round craft and you choose to travel in a place where the seas can be challenging if not downright lethal, you have real confidence in it though, having said all that you probably have state of the art weather reports coming in as it is happening. We never did, we just bashed our way through some real stinkers, bloody good fun though. I wish I could afford a boat like that but alas, I have lived a life of blissful excess. I am paying the price now......nurse, where's my biscuits?, scuse me, where was I, oh yes, i can just sit here and watch these films and enjoy the various people gadding about the globe, I travelled extensively and had some crazy times, as one does. I shall continue to watch these adventures, here's hoping my next book sells and I might get that boat, hahaha!
