Thanks for all the replies from everyone. :) It's really more of a trick than a valid standing. Her paddle is probably being held by the person in the boat that just paddled away from her bow where he was lightly holding onto it while she stood. (Notice the contrail in the water?). The first time (yes, she did it twice) she stood she was able to stay up for about 10-15 seconds (which is longer than it sounds when you're standing in an unstable boat) before falling in. For the photo she got up and had to turn towards me. The turn put her off balance and what you don't see is her saying through her smile, "Take the damn picture!" Which I did right before she fell in. :) But it does make for a great picture. :) I should take it up to GRO when I go for the 3 star training and to pick up my new Romany Explorer (I'm excited). They might like a copy. Mel --- There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't. --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.
