Go to home depot and buy foam pipe insulation, comes in 6 ft tubes, slit the side and fits perfect around rails, cut and half and can space them out on deck and bottom, wrap tape around board to secure. This weighs almost nothing and costs less than five bucks, protects way better than towels. Lots of decent spots in SJU, head west...can't comment on bus travel there, I am sure you are not the first though.
