  • This video is about a journey made in the summer of 2014 up the rugged West Coast of Vancouver Island. Highlights are a loggers competition in Ucluelet, a black bear sighting, a cruise up the Marble River and a close encounter with the Roaring Hole Rapids in the Broughton Islands on the mainland

    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.

    A wonderful island, so insignificant to so many folk in Canada, USA, all of North and South America and the rest of the world, but oh, such a treasure and filled with such intrigue, such majesty, such interesting climates and sea and freshwater merges. And, such great photography, every second of this 38 minute video. And you deliver such poetry about this trip.

    I'm crying right now. This is perfectly reminiscent of what my late wife and I did during our frequent visits to the Broughton islands. You have captured the ambiance perfectly. We had the luxury of modern navigation when it was brand new, so there was very little traffic, and we took our 42 ft sailboat into uncharted waters, and enjoyed the experience of exploring in the tender, places that travelers didn't bother. Thank you, Timmy

    Having spent years throughout this region I can say there's always new things to see and the fishing is most excellent.

    I have been through the inside passage in a fishing boat some 21 years ago, brings back wonderful memories, cheers and thanks a million for the pictures. I had a film camera and was not to capture more than a precious few. From Gig Harbor WA to Icy Bay AK I went by seine boat. It was part amazement, terror and wonder. I loved to see the humpback whales I got sprayed by a whale sounding 10 feet from me on the skiff. Some of the best memories of my 60 year old life.

    Up until this past summer, I used quite large and expensive Sony video cameras. This summer I switched to a Panasonic GH3 SLR camera which is much smaller, lighter and more discreet. also much cheaoer even after buying lenses. I had quite a learning curve making the change but the results are great. I then had problems dealing with the camera files in my editing system so I bit the bullet and switched to Final Cut Pro 10 which meant upgrading the computer - another steep learning curve. This video is the first from this new combination.

Venture looks superb as she calmly provides a haven from the fog and tides of those awe inspiring bodies of water. For myself, I have to say that it is my deeply held dream to explore that very coastline in a trawler yacht...following the Gray whales as they migrate North to Alaska...for me, that coast line is a magnet, it is the stuff of my very deepest desires...that coastline and the Caribbean, and Bermuda hold me in a mesmeric gaze. I desire to do what you have done with all my heart...I salute you and your incredible achievements....
