• More speeding – this time legally

    Ambulance speeding down the Canal Grande – whenever you here a siren there you better move out of the way. We later saw the ambulance at Campo San Barnaba, where they picked up a little boy who was hurt, but not more than he could walk on board the ambulance and there was no siren…

  • 5km/h

    There’s a speed limit of 5km/h in Venice, for all private motorized vessels. This seems to have missed that memo, though.

  • Venice at dawn

    A few photos from a 6am paddle yesterday morning.

  • Venice is not a beach

  • Evening Paddling in Venice

  • The Ugliest Boat in Venice

    Or maybe just a contender.

  • No Cars in Venice?

  • Sea Kayak Design

    Sea Kayak Design is an Italian kayak brand, well designed and well built. Venice Kayak has three of them, one of each of the original three models. The one on the photos is the 16ft model.

  • Kayaking gear

    Getting ready for a tour, controlling the essential gear.

  • The local parking lot

    On the Certosa island, car free but with kayaks.

  • Cool Dog

    Hanging out on the beach with the chicks, sporting a pair of Raybans for that cool, in control look.

  • If you can pass

    you can pass. Sandolo passing under the church of Santo Stefano in Venice at high tide.
