Mark Z and Jackie mentioned the FedEx-you-a-boat-in-a-bag services, which I had forgotten about. I've also discovered that Trek & Trail, who we have paddled Lake Superior with in June, moves their operation to the Yucatan in the winter, so I'll be checking with them, also. Anyway, what would Ralph know about Mexico? He's from Puerto Rico. :) If you meet anybody named Bubba, though, be sure he'll know about paddling in GA, NC, and TN.
