Excellent resource. Thanks for the effort. I circumnavigated Venice in 2014,2015, and 2018.In 2018,to my surprise,I was politely asked to exit the Grand Canal via a Police boat, onto a side canal,from which point I had to somewhat blindly navigate back to the northern side of the island. I encountered another kayaker who appeared to be guiding two novices, and he provided only a brief explanation of new enforcement. Only when I sought a better explanation via the internet did I discover the fuller reasoning of the new regulations. Though understandable, I feel and hope that the municipality and people of Venice will eventually recognize how the inclusion of sporting accommodation contributes to urban vitality, and continues to evolve throughout cities large and small. It is clear, however, that the unique nature of Venice and it’s intense marine activity and overwhelming tourism present significant challenges which distance sporting activity as a priority. I’m grateful for the experiences I had in Venice.
