That sounds fascinating. Have visited Venice in the spring and oftern thought it would be wonderful to paddle a sea kayak there. However have noticed too the busy-ness of many of the waterways and the apparent violence of the waves in a breeze (where thr gondolas are moored off St Mark’s square for example.)
As a very average paddler who has come late to the joys of seakayaking would love to paddle in Venice and among the Islands one day. Would be interested in any information you might have?
