I don't know exactly how long this fellow was sitting still while obviously paddling as hard as he could but, it was awhile! Maybe you had to be there to really get a laugh but I laughed so hard! Most of the time he was sitting in one spot but then again the river's current would push him back a few feet and he would get back to about this same place again. It was funny until I thought about a barge coming up river and him not being able to get out of the way. So I yelled at him from the shore.
