Venice - Murano - Burano - Torcello - Silone - Conche di Portegrandi - Sile
From our quay, on the small canal, in the middle of the island of Vignole, we continue to Fondamente Nuove, along the north eastern periphery of Venice and turn there to the north, past San Michele, the cemetery island and get to Murano, the famous isle of the glassblowers. Since one can't find a tie up here, we visited the island with the Vaporetto from Venice, the day before. If you are lucky, you can find a place for a short stop in order to get something from the super market. We continue on Canale Scom. Giacomo to Burano. The very nice quay of Mazzorbo, right next to the town, is reserved for a houseboat hirer but one can surely find a tie up for 2-3 hours, navigating around the island. It would be a pity not to visit this very nice place. Then, we continue on Canale Borgognoni to the turn off into Canale Silone, which brings us through the rather savage, with reed overgrown Parco Archealogico to the lock of Poertegrandi. A big marina was constructed in front of the lock during the last few years. We stop at the reception quay in order to have lunch. Within minutes the guard arrives, asking for € 10.00 for an hours rest. 
We therefore continue past the lock, bringing us onto the Fiume Sile. We find some bollards right there, free of charge!

Venice - Treporti (the comfortable route)
If you are in a hurry, you take at Venice Canale di San Nicolo and Canale Treporti. (Be aware that this one is not allowed to boats which can be navigated without a license!). Those, who prefer the comfortable way or are on a boat which doesn't need a license, take the "northern route". Coming from Venice, you navigate past the islands of La Vignole (offering tie ups to boats from Navicabene, Locaboat and Cardinal Boating) and San Erasmo on your right and get to the south eastern port of Treporti. 
From here, you continue on Canale San Felice to the eastern end of the Laguna at the Conche del Cavallino. See more to that on Venice - Conche del Cavallino - Jesolo.
