- This video describes some of the major events which have hit Kodiak over the past 100 years and documents the final Alaskan part of our trip which has taken us out to the Aleutian Islands. On the outward trip we followed the coast to Kodiak. On the return journey we take the direct route across the Gulf of Alaska to Sitka in Southeast Alaska.
I'm extremely impressed with your work Tony. The photography, illustrations, video, and in particularly your story-telling and narration are first class--this could easily be on the Discovery or National Geographic channels..seriously. You have immense skills and talents!! Jon
totally agree!
I read some comments, I wanted to say it's very enjoyable to hear your commentary in clear, intelligent speech, thank you, there's no hype or antics, it's a pleasure. 🙏🌎
These films are like sipping a fine wine.

Spectacular. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Another fantastic FY production. I hope there is a forum for your genre of travel documentary, and if there is, I pray you receive highest honors for creativity, execution and content. You take me places I never knew existed, and help me realize the wordless magnificence of GOD's creation. Blessings to you and yours.
Another gem thank you so much for sharing places in the world that most of us would never otherwise see.
Most interesting video. Informative and yet so entertaining. Thank you.
Congratulations to Tony Fleming for sharing these excellent travel videos with us, I have enjoyed them immensely.
I have also enjoyed the voice over. My congratulations to whom ever is doing them for you. The pronunciation, clear diction and perfect modulation adds immeasurably to the pleasure of watching.
I always enjoy the superb editing and video ... along with the relaxed and informative narrative your work is as good as it gets. Thank you for sharing. Bud Miller, Forney, Texas.
Greetings from the Rockies of Colorado.
The Venture videos do us a great service: on the order of Jacques Cousteau's films of the 50's and on, but for a generation with a more limited attention span.
Again a brilliant video. Great recordings and a very good narrator. :)
Tony, many thanks for your work on this. As we come nearer retirement your trip and videos are inspiring us to upgrade our boat and follow in your wake.
Just magnificent! Brilliant!
Fantastic!
Great video and narration.
This sort of high quality content is why I love RUclips.
EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL AND AWESOME.
Your best yet thank you.

Greetings from Germany too ! an amazing video - must say i lowed it. You are a lucky sob to have traveled to such lovely parts of the world.
You videos are mesmerizing!
Wonderful! Shared on our home page today.
Thanks for another great Video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Beautiful video...
U've really been blessed by GOD to ventured on your journey
Tony Fleming, one smart, lucky guy. Doing what many of us dream.
Mr Fleming, how close were you to the Mama brown bear and 2 cubs who were fishing for salmon?? Just amazing !!
About 50 yards.
Probably my ineptitude ... thank you for following up. I really, really enjoy the pace and tranquility of your video work. Anything new in the offering?
Volcanic activity can be catastrophic, we live in quiet times, hopefully it stays that way.
Do you ever go to a place that's warm?? I assume Venture has heaters.
...did see some great fossils in Pasagshak including one complete prehistoric fish, Keith's brother took it home with him to New York, probably not allowed but this was 40 years ago
These truly are the best videos on RUclips. I always look forward to the next installment. I also look forward to the day when I am lucky enough to own a Fleming myself.
While I realize the skill is all yours and not that of the camera, may I ask what camera(s) you do use? As an amateur photographer (primarily stills) I am always curious about gear.

Many thanks for the compliment. Over the years I have been through a number of cameras but now mainly use a Panasonic Lumix GH4. Starting this year I now shoot in 4K. This camera is versatile, unobtrusive and small. It makes me look good with its superb images. I find I don't need to use a tripod as, unlike most SLR's, the viewfinder works in video mode. I edit with Final Cut Pro X on an iMac.
Everything is now smaller, cheaper and works better - once you have got over the learning curve! If you like these videos, there are plenty more at Vimeo.com/tonyfleming. There is now some overlap but those on Vimeo mostly refer to non-boat related travel. In my opinion, Vimeo is much more responsive and easier to use than RUclips and the picture quality is better.
Pretty brave, setting off across the Gulf with fresh, untested fuel. What fuel filtration system do you use?
We have Twin Racors plus two in-series MAN filters. In 72,000 nm of cruising we have never experienced fuel problems. No bravery involved.
Might you remember what the price of #2 Diesel in AK cost back then?
lemme go lemme go !!!!
hey - fleming. NOBODY in his right mind would put thumb down on this !! THANKS.
A rogue rocket ?
Great Video, but having lived in Kodiak for a number of years I never heard anyone refer to Kodiak as the Aleutians mate. Did you make a run down to Dutch and further west somewhere along the way ? My friend of Mrs Larsen witnessed the Katmai eruption of 1912. I did some work on her house in 1980 or thereabouts. old pics from the 1980s www.dutchpickle.com/alaska/kodiak-alaska-2.html
I'm not sure where you got the impression that I thought Kodiak was in the Aleutians. Of course I know that it is not. We went to Dutch Harbor and there is a video that describes the entire trip visiting Kodiak on the way out and back.
Mrs Larson was around 8 years old and the hired hand led her and her brother and sister walking hand in hand all the way over the mountains to Port Lions through the dust and ash whee they were later rescued by the US Navy if I remember the story correctly. Amazing woman pardon my lousy blogging skills

Tony, the Vemo.com/tonyfleming page does not seem to work? Bud Miller
Hi Milo,
It may have nothing to do with the problem but your comment said "Vemo.com" whereas it should be Vimeo.com. I just checked it snd it seems to be OK right now.
Rich people's trips....good for nothing...
