Mauritius is similar to many of the Caribbean or Hawaiian islands. It's a pleasant, non threatening tourist environment and one really wouldn't be too concerned about currents, etc. I have seen the kayaks, and they are for rent at most of the typical tourist hotels. They are actually fg SOTs and well made. Of course most tourists paddle around the lagoon, but if he paddled through the reef, then he may have been swept away or dumped on the reef and eaten. There was a case of a guy who rented a jet ski in Cancun a few years ago and was never seen alive (or dead) again. His wife paid thousands for an air search and had her credit card debited for the cost of the ski. Just because the water is blue, flat and warm, doesn't mean it's a walk in the park! cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Jan 26 1999 - 09:27:43 PST
