What makes you think that _I_ would know?  Just because I have a Latino
surname, doesn't mean I would know about Latin American places to
paddle.  Would you ask Jackie Fenton about paddling in the UK because
she has a British surname?  Would you ask Sandy Kramer about paddling in
Germany because of her last name?  Or Richard Clifford about the
paddling in Ireland because of his Gaelic origins?

Actually, I hope you know I am just kidding. :-) :-)

I have never paddled in Mexico since I was not a paddler back when I
visited the country quite often.  I understand that in the Yucatan,
where Cancun and environs are located, there are sit-on-top rentals in
just about every place.

feliz navidad,

ralph
