The eastern part of the Laguna of
Venice
Canale San Felice to Jesolo and Caposile




















One has some company from Canale Treporti over Canale San Felice. But, leaving the latter, one seems to leave civilisation too.
We are all on our own now, flat waters of the Laguna and uncountable small islands, inhabited by birds only, escort us through the canals of Riga and dei Bari. At the turn off of Lio Maggiore one continues southwards into the Fosso. Be very careful here, depending on tides, water depth can be, in the middle of the marked canal, just about 90 cm.
At the end of the Fosso, the town of Cavallino is awaiting us with a beautiful new quay. Unfortunately like most others without any further infrastructures for boaters. Right next to the quay is a bakery, a small super market, the Police station and one of the best restaurants of the Laguna.
We continue on Canale Casson to the lock of Cavallino. Since we want to get further to the Lagunas of Marano and Grado we have to take a decision here. The only 6 km long canal Cavetta from Jesolo to Cortellazzo is not navigable any more. We have two possibilities: Navigating the 2 km down to the Porto di Piave Veccia and continuing then over the Adriatic Sea, along the Lido di Jesolo, to Cortelazzo or, we go to the north and take a nearly 50 km detour over Sile, Canal di Piave Veccia and then on the Piave down to Cortellazzo. The pontoon bridge of Cortellazzo is not opened on Sundays!
