i sort of forgot, that thing is a lagoon, not a sea or an ocean. most of it is 5-10 feet deep(1.5-3m). there are almost no waves other than the wakes from passing boats.. tell the driver to avoid the wakes. smooth as glass.

there can be waves in the lagoon.

the first time we arrived, thick fog. the boat followed the piling canal at about 5 mph. then went through the backside of the canals to the danieli.
