Best time of year to paddle Equador?

[pbell]

So my sister lives in Quito. She is pregnant and the baby is due in early April. I want to plan a trip to visit my niece or nephew and, of course, to get some paddling in.

So will there be any decent boating left that late in the year, or should I plan a trip for mid-winter and save seeing the baby until next year? Yes, I do have my priorities straight and will postpone seeing the baby for the sake of kayaking.

Or can I have it both ways?
