You sit on the back deck, put your feet in the seat, grab the combing and stand up. Then use the extended paddle to keep your balance. (at least to begin with) The only short cut I can imagine is spend the whole day trying to stand on your back deck, behind the combing. Then at the end of the day, standing IN the cockpit will seem much easier. :) Practice. :) Some people can just do it.

Any suggestions/shortcuts for someone wanting to stand upright in their boat?
I’m on vacation at my cottage next week… plenty of time to mess around at the end of the dock trying new tricks.

I’ve tried it a few times,no success so far.
Cheers

Bert

You'll notice though, that in my goal setting I shared with you (in writing no less!), I had as my final goal listed, with a due date of June 4, 2009, to still be alive to celebrate my 60th birthday. Those were only short-term goals, I do plan on having many more birthdays after that. . .so don't start making plans to buy my gear cheap when Oz is rid of me and my madnesses--it ain't happening anytime soon!
