We enjoy watching the videos Tony Fleming makes about his adventures in his namesake yachts. One released today is set in Alaska: https://youtu.be/_bKqyJZHvP0
Fast forward to 1:42 to see a C-Dory at the dock in Auk (Sp?) harbor. |

Thanks for sharing this Venture video. All the Venture videos are wonderfully done & I’ve enjoyed them all. I’ve seen the Venture on several of our SE Alaska cruises with the last, just last summer. In 2018 the Venture was at the Warms Springs Bay dock, when JoLee & I arrived. We spent several hours aboard & Tony gave us a complete tour & then later invited us back for evening drinks & stories to hear. The Venture is to me a magnificent boat & Tony Fleming, an unassuming gentleman, just as you might think from his video narrations.
Tony & me plus Venture & HunkyDory at Warm Springs Bay.

Awesome pictures and story! The Fleming is the only boat I’d consider as a replacement for our C-Dory!! |

A perhaps interesting addition to our meeting Tony Fleming & his Fleming Venture at the Warm Spring Bay dock. There was also three different Grand Banks yachts there too & each were designed by Tony Fleming during the period he worked for that company. There owners were every bit if not more appreciative than us of being invited aboard that evening. The Venture was the first Fleming boat designed by Tony Fleming after quitting work as the technical director for for the company building the Grand Banks Yachts.

Very interesting and now that you say that, the family resemblance is clear!
Our daughter and granddaughters lived with us for nearly a year in 2021 and the little ones looked forward to watching the Fleming videos (especially when seals, birds, or bears were spotted!).
I appreciated the slower, more contemplative pace -- especially compared to the frenetic smash-cut garbage videos that seem designed to dominate children's attention. |

Thank you for bringing this video to our attention. I have also had the pleasure of meeting Tony Fleming several times and he is certainly the gentleman as portrayed in the Video, Wonderful use of multi aspects of filming a private cruise! _________________ Bob Austin

daninPA, thanks for Fleming's video link of Venture's Southeastern Alaska rediscovery tour. I'm binge watching this thing like last year with Succession on Netflix. I gotta get to bed, but damn, Fleming is an absolute pro at chronicling his adventures. His pace, tone, and use of drone have captivated me.
Jay, nice photo and text of you and Tony at Warm Springs. What a memorable day that must have been. |
