Truly gutzy (or maybe nutzy) paddling non-lawyer Timo Noko didn't
just talk about doing it.  No political agenda or prior
announcement.  Just went out and did it (maybe that's why there 
weren't any newspaper articles promoting his journey beforehand?).  
Interesting character.  Truly interesting story and fun read at:

http://www.kolumbus.fi/timo.noko/mexico/eng.html

Lots of folks have talked about/attempted epic journeys.  Some
have actually completed them.  Some journey with no designated
end.

>From de la Fuente - "I wanted to make a difference, and this 
just came to me," he says with a shrug.

Well, ok.  Whatever floats your boat.
