The France Chapter recently traveled to Venice, Italy for the ASDEC (Associazione Scafi D’Epoca e Classici) meeting. They visited the lagoon and navigated between the famous islands of Burano, Murano, Mazzorbo and Torcello.
Then, towards the end of the afternoon, they followed the Grand Canal where it was magical to see the palaces, though the navigation was scary because there were so many boats. The group also attended the rowing race, The Vogalonga, where 7,000 participants crossed the lagoon of Venice 23 miles.
On the last day, the group went to the Lido, and had lunch at the Excelsior Palace.
