Hi Joe, I'm italian, I live 50km from Venice. I love the sea kayak, but I'm a beginner, anyway I have three suggestions about your topic. 1) The biggest Canoa Club at Venice is : ARCOBALENO (http://www.freeweb.org/sport/arcocanoa/) The boss Pamio Tito and wife, Olivieri Carmela, are very kind persons. Send an email to arcocanoa_at_freeweb.org, certanly they will give you all info necessary. 2) If you will extend the honey moon on Toscana , then, you 'must' go on Elba island. I love that island. Last year I followed a sea kayak course with the local club. You could contact Gaudenzio Coltelli him web site is : http://www.seakayakitaly.com 3) The most important association of sea kayaker in Italy is : IKDM http://www.freeweb.org/sport/ikdm/ikdm/ikdm.htm. The leader Sergio Cadoni (ikdm_at_libero.it) is a very expert sea kayaker and know all about sea kayak in Italy. Someone of the above contacts certanly will help you on plan the 'paddling in Italy'. Email me without problems for other info. Enjoy in Italy :-))) Mauro Giacchini -Padova *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
