If I had the time, I would certainly be in line to do this trip if only to experience it as a spectator. Now are you actually racing or do you just plan to be there for support?

Looking forward to seeing who from your facebook village of 8000 is up for adventure. The Rio Nazas Regata is one part Pan-Am Games level competition and two parts family reunion, with people who consider anyone who wields a paddle part of the family. For 49 years grandfathers, fathers and sons have gathered at Rodeo, Durango every July to celebrate their river. They’ve missed two years because of drought, but never for current events. Sports and tradition trump fear of what they see in the media and know to be true: that U.S. prohibition of recreational drugs has turned Mexico inside out. But life goes on. Mexico’s violence is between cartels and the military. Tourists are as valuable to Mexico as petroleum. No one has a beef with us, nor the Durango Canoe Association who have put on 48 competitions now. I’ve attended two of the last three. They are joyous occasions. Relaxing in the cool dry mountains of Durango under shady Sabino trees. Canoe and Kayak magazine has more about the Regata on their website. You can read about it by going to http://www.canoekayak.com and searching for “Rio Nazas”

See you on the River!
