This last weekend my wife and I took a great two day class from GRO.  During the rescue drills Julie showed the demonstrators how she could get back into a boat without any assistance or a paddle float.  They started to tease her about how good her balance must be.  Someone came up with the bright idea that she could probably even stand in her boat... So she did it!

This photo is the second time in the day she stood in a boat.  The boat she's in is the boat I paddled for most of the two day class (we just swapped for an hour to test the other boat).  It is a NDK Romany Explorer 18, of which I am currently lusting after (well, and the girl in the boat too).  Julie paddled the Romany 16 most of the weekend and loved it much more than the Explorer.

Anyways, on to the photos:

is a smaller picture (about 179k)

while

is an enlarged picture but is ~750k.  The first small page has a link to the second page.

Enjoy,
Mel
