G'Day,

It can be quite hot paddling in NSW Australia. Don't know if the conditions 
are similar to Sea of Cortez. Following may be helpful.
Take plenty of water, 5L per day per person - drink it frequently to avoid 
headaches. A kind of legionnaires hat is becoming very popular here. It has 
back and side flaps to protect the neck from the sun. Use waterproof suntan 
lotion. Clothes do get salt encrusted but it doesn't seem to matter.

All the best, PeterO
