This week’s Photo Challenge is Today:
… the photo must be taken today! Don’t cheat, don’t go into your photo archives on your computer, don’t link to an old post. Get your camera out, right now, and snap a picture to share with everyone!
OK, that’s easy!
When the email with the challenge arrived, I was just assembling a kayak in our living room. (Well, the bow sticks out partway into the kitchen.)
Now it’s just a matter of getting it from the 17th floor down to the street, across town, and into the water…

Yeah, nice to have an exciting today. My “today” (it has been yesterday here) filled up with some server/coding error that really confuse me, so i can’t take picture except my own room.
Your picture is nice, btw.

Your room would make a very suitable “Today” shot!

Well, when camping outside I’ve once or twice almost lost a kayak overnight to the rising tide, so I think it’s best to keep it where I know it’s safe ;-)

It was a fun challenge! For my part, I simply took a photo of what I was doing at that very moment. Now, most of the time I am not doing anything nearly as interesting as assembling a kayak, so the challenge arrived at the perfect moment!

How will you get it downstairs? with a rope from a window?

Actually, that’s how I started kayaking… for the first ten years or so, I kept my kayak in the closet of my small New York City apartment!

Very interesting! I’m sure there is a way. It’s not the weight, it’s the shape and fitting it through other shapes (think square peg, round hole). Thank for the visit, like, and link to my TODAY post.
Fun!
Peace,
Alexandria

Wow! Love the red! I always wondered… I could probably get into one of those, but it would take a couple of people to help me out!
LikeLike
All my kayaks have been red. I like red, but there was also a process of elimination. The manufacturer offered blue (too hard to spot on the water), green (ditto), teal (a strange color, somehow), yellow (too hard on my own eyes to watch the bright yellow foredeck while paddling all day), and red!
It wouldn’t be that difficult to get you out, I think…. just turn the kayak upside down, and you would fall out! ;-) Seriously, if the kayak capsizes, the hard part can be staying in it, in order to roll back upright. Most people fall right out.

Wow – I love your dedication. I could not imagine having to bring my kayak down 17 floors! My garage is way too full of stuff, but at least on ground level! Looks like a nice boat – happy paddling!

It’s certainly true that, like seals, walruses, and other water beasts, kayaks have it much easier in (on) water than on land ;-)

Thanks for the mention! I am curious – HOW did you get it down 17 floors and across town? If you had climbing ropes and a a winch system you could lower it out the window?

Unfortunately, it won’t fit in the elevator as it now is, stretched across our living-room floor. Nevertheless, I will have fun with it on the water!

Go for it! But a word to the wise: it’s not usual to start on the 17th floor. Start a little closer to the water ;-)

17th floor, huh? Don’t suppose the elevators are extra big? You should have someone take photos while you traverse the 17 floors so we can see how you conquer this problem! Great post, I love it! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for linking mine!
