Tony, your channel has been a most wonderful discovery, every aspect of each travel log finely honed, impeccably edited, flawlessly filmed, and sewn into a perfect package with your precisely paced narration. You simultaneously bring us exhilaration with complete calm and cool confidence. Another magnificent journey, Thank you!
I have been watching the series. Some of us in an ancient way never have played. The greatest part of this video is when he mentioned roast pork after a long ride of legend.
Being convinced*, that your whole life, with all of its journeys and miles of filming and days of editing, followed by hours of your 'tried and securing' voice, telling us and showing us, wonderful wonders that most will never experience and the music, which lifts our spirit adrift in the adventure; *were purposefully ordained, for such a time as this. You and your beauties, Venture and Venture II, have been such a blessing in this time of isolation, testing and perseverance. Thank You❤️ Pandemic 2020
@@bronwindraney5111 - It seems you are looking for a different kind of video. We all know what is meant by a 'viking raid', and no need in this 2020 video to go into all the gory details of those viking times. There are documentairies about them, specifically. This video is about a journey between islands, and the narrator mentions a bit of history in a decent manner. I'm convinced that the majority of viewers like the 'placid' tone of these videos, and let the sea be the unruly force to face and overcome.
My one and only complaint is that I cannot give more than just 1 like 👍, your videos deserve greater things than just CZcams. Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey
Another one of your amazing adventures in these beautiful Venture boats that have certainly proved themselves to be magnificent in sometimes very difficult seas. The scenery of the Faroe Islands and Iceland is spectacular, displaying amazing geology of vulcanism and glacial activity. I remember going to Iceland on an international modelling trip where I had to play a Captain of a fishing boat operating out of Isafjordur for Findus Seafood in June 1985. I remember climbing those steep verdant slopes immediately above the town overlooking the harbour. I thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories. Keep up the great work. It is world class, every one of your videos.
During my seagoing days as a ships officer, I done a voyage on a Liberian general cargo ship which loaded aluminium oxide from Gove, Northern territories in Australia and transported it to a little port called Straumsvik, about 10 miles south of Reykjavik. The pilot boat doubled as a tug and had great difficulty pushing us alongside the small pier. The aluminium smelter was at the head of the pier and within 24 hours was turning out aluminium ingots. I wondered at the time was it worth it carrying the cargo all that way, but the same Swiss company owned both the Bauxite mine in Australia and the factory in Straumsvik. It was March when we arrived off the south coast which was shrouded in mist and we had difficulty plotting our position as these were the days before GPS and the Loran system was being run down.
As per usual an emotional response after your Beautiful Venture II epic journey. Thank You for sharing so generously and eloquently once again. Cheers Jen n Co 🐨🌻
It is like taking a vacation when I follow your routes over the oceans. Your descriptions of the ports and the land around makes me think I am there with you. Thanks for your coverage. Surely this would be a dream come true to be able to travel as you do.
Thank you for all your hard work Tony. And those that help you to make it all work. can't get no better, just such a beautiful beautiful scenery always.. and when it comes to CZcams. Your number one to me.
There is something about the scenery and choice of audio along with the narration that brings me to tears! Such a familiar feeling. But I’ve never been there. Thank you for all your awesome videos!!
Thank you as well for not interjecting politics into these videos during this hyper partisan time. You didn't even mention that the Denmark strait was the location of the battle between Hood and Bismarck.
I've been watching a lot of cruising videos as of late, generally casually watching and listening while doing something else. The problem with these Venture videos is that they demand one's full attention! Amazing quality content. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm really jealous of those trips. Many of these places look so beautiful, so serene, so peaceful. I sometimes imagine seeing myself living on one of those coastal homes, in a building that is 200 years old
Great video's. I've watched the lot many times. At 75 my memory is getting a bit deceitful, and they all seem fairly new to me, so I can just enjoy them again.
I ponder on the lives who chose to live in such a cold wet and harsh environment like the Faroes Islands and wonder how they kept warm during the winter months, thank you not for me I'll stick to the tropics, sunshine and sandy beaches. Worthy of a History channel series again.
As a former worldwide merchant mariner, I feel that the *Fleming Yachts* videos are the most splendid boating documentaries to be found on the internet! . . . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ouhhhh c est beau magnifique les couleurs ✌✌😁 j adore ces petites maisons la vraie nature j imagine des centaines d oiseau ❤❤❤ une certaine ambiance superbe vidéo 😁✌✌🙋♀️
I watch your videos more than once and each time I catch things I missed in earlier viewings. Your focus on the flowers and other vegetation, and the animals whose paths you cross, is stellar. I echo so many others below in appreciating your work.
Magnificent again, like your other travel logs. Especially appreciated Norway, because thats where my Grandparents migrated from to America in the late 1880s. but from Lillyhammer, and oslow to settle in Wisconsin and MInisota.. Munga tussen tuff! that means many thousand thanks!
This is a great audio book that has remarkable video to match. Now if I could just afford the Fleming for my own touring. Keep it up Tony. I will live through you.
Tony, I watched a previous video of ours. What and enchanted and wonderful like you have experienced onboard Venture I have been to some of these places but not all of them. I feel as I have been now. I am no longer a young person, but maybe, just maybe, I can experience them like you have. Thank you for sharing all these. God Bless You.
THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL AND AMAZING TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY I HAVE EVER SEEN!. THANK YOU. - I watch all your Venture Boats trips (Aleutians, Alaska, British Columbia, Europe, Ireland, England, California, Idaho, New York). All videos are properly edited and perfectly presented. All landscapes, scenes, nature, blue sky, grey sky, deep blue sea make me feel so good. It is very soothing and entertaining. Whenever I am stressed out in my life, I always go to watch your sailing videos and it comfort me a lot. - I enjoy watching all your videos (on my 72" flat screen TV - SONY) all time, every weekend from my home in Los Angeles. Even though I am not fortunate like you to circumnavigate the globe and travel on own boat, your sea journey and wonderful voyage videos have brought many delights and good feeling to me. We all ordinary people are grateful to you (Gratitude) for your generous and wonderful presentations. Thank you.
we spoke to each other a couple of days ago. love your channel. What an intelligent and kind man you seem to be. i love what you capture on film. Simply amazing!
In a number of clips Venture II's cap rails look really weathered in this video, a testament to the sheer amount of spray you experienced on this voyage.
The white bales are called silage. The green plant material is attacked by anerobic microbes which makes the resultant material more nutricious for animals.
Tony your travelogues are absolutely first class! When I think of the Faroes I see hundreds of dolphins with the top of their heads sliced open in the carnage that is the annual dolphin hunt...the sea turns red with the blood of these toothed whales. You have offered a different perspective of this inhospitable part of the North Atlantic.
Fantastic photography. When the Iceland Fisherman took the helm, he possibly did not realise where Venture had been, and the experience of the crew. Perhaps he was aware of uncharted hazards.
I wish you would occasionally talk about the regular maintenance that you performed on your long cruises. i.e. "and here we stayed for several days while Venture had it's oil and other filters changed. We also had the carpets cleaned..." you know, things like that. Add some reality to the trip....Greetings from Texas.
what a lovely travel video you have produced here - and all from your amazing motor yacht. wonderfully narrated by someone with an obvious love of the English language.
Thank You, for Your wonderful videos of Voyages, from Aleuteans to Faröer and more... Made with careful love, it is a joy to watch! Let me hint, the first parliament in Europe was established in Greece long before Christ. The Vikings did have their Meetings though as weel!
I love your Videos they have pushed the wanderlust in me that has been long hidden. My favorite landmark is the witches finger. I always marvel at the beautiful small flowers in the most treacherous of terrain. Love any video that you give us. Thank you also for your beautiful Boats - the 55 is the one for me ( your original) !
I am always curious to find out what motivates people to live in these "off the chart" places. How do they manage. Every board, every nail, etc, etc has to be imported. The disadvantages seem to be staggering. What are the advantages? Few commentators dwell on these issues. It seems: "it is what it is" attitude in reporting what can be seen and nothing more. This channel is absolutely outstanding on cinematography , music selection and commentary. Just adding my 2 cents.

I discovered your channel about 18 months ago and what a discovery it has turned out to be. Each episode makes me feel that I have been on an expedition. The filming, photography and voice-over are beyond words. Can you tell me what camera equipment you use throughout your videos. Thank you once again for the pleasure you bring me.
Until last year I was using Panasonic Lumix GH5 cameras. But more recently I have discovered that the iPhone takes astonishingly good pictures so at least 90% of the video taken in 2022 and 2023 was taken on the iPhone. Currently model 14.
This was just posted on YT, but it needs to be said that the trip and the places shown are from about 2009, years prior. Harpa concert hall was still in construction, for god's sake!
Yo - Venture - another really fine production - thanks. when you took on fuel at that icelandic port, did you need to check for water or contaminants etc?? would they be offended if you did ?!
I would have, even though Venture and Venture II have fuel polishing systems to clean the fuel before use if needed. I doubt the supplier would have been offended, that fuel needs to be of decent quality your lives depend in it.
Great video and music and excellent narration. Very well put together and so informative. The seems perfect for the beautiful coast of Norway as well. Not being rude but my wife and I are interested in getting Fleming and we were wondering what your fuel cost would have been on the Iceland UK trip? Roughly. Grateful for an answer.
I really don't remember as it was 10 years ago so prices would not be relevant today anyway. We get about 1.3 US gals per nautical mile including genset. Fuel was very expensive in Scotland. The equivalent of about US$6 per gallon and cash only. No credit card. I have cruised the coast of Norway also in a Fleming 55 belonging to another owner. You can find some videos about that on www.vimeo.com/tonyfleming. Look for Lofoten.
Scot Fenn he's got videos. If you subscribe to him. You can see all of his videos. he's got video of the factory where he makes boats Yachts the one that he's in he made. Of course with a lot of helpers
A boat like Venture would be a very rare visitor to this remote island .

Wonderful video. My only nitpick is that at 32:50 he says Iceland is "just over 100 miles from Greenland". I think the nearest point is more like 200 miles from Greenland. No biggie.
Am I the only one that never wants to visit there? I don't know history very well. I have a bad dream, it has a face. My bad dream will never come home.
28:48 Have never understood why people would choose white life rings...it's not as though you'd ever see this in the water. International orange should be mandatory. These things are not decor.

Aluminum refining takes lots of electric power. Aluminum smelters are usually located in remote areas with plenty of hydro power.

Captian Steve ( Boattest.com) has a great review / tour on the Fleming 65 just published recently. It is a treat for the eyes.
Y’all need a drone!
Dose the Fleming 65 have double thick glass on bot h the bridge and side ports/windows to insure the seas cannot break in rough seas?
Fleming yachts are built to CE Ocean Class A and follows their requirements for glass thickness. We use toughened glass throughout.
Why did the fisherman insist on coming along and taking the helm?
A boat like Venture would be a very rare visitor to this remote island . For a guy whose life would be entirely involved in fishing in rough seas I would imagine that a chance to run a boat like Venture in his home waters would be a great attraction to the extend he asked.

Í believe you might have mixed up the parliament between Iceland and the Faeroe islands. Iceland has the oldest parliament in the world.
No, it does not. The one in Iceland is from 930 AD. The one in the Faroes is from 825 AD. The Vikings settled the Faroe Islands before Iceland.
