What am I looking at?
Just thought you might like to see a couple of the favourite pastimes of the local Venetians, of all ages. Here your teenage children won't be begging you for a motor-bike or car, but for a *"Cofano" or "Patanella".
All aspects of the lives of the Venetians revolve around the waters of the lagoon, and inevitably, this includes their leisure time. It is the ambition of most of them to own a boat of some kind or another, be it a rowing, sailing or motor-boat, to then use for whatever their mood or the weather conditions dictate. Apart from wind-surfing and water-skiing (too much large motorized water traffic for these sports), the boats are used for fishing, sun-bathing, diving, racing, picnics and family gatherings.........you will see them all, particularly on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
