Lost to The 7 Dwarves 11-2

My kayak polo team is defeated. We've lost the will the win. We only had 5 players on Tuesday night and we weren't into it. Our structure was terrible. I had a great assist on a pass to our interior player who pumped the ball into the net. Other than that, it was the same problems. We've no transition defense and are making sloppy passes.

Today, I went to a protest at the City Council building on Tuam St to save the Waimak river. The Waimak flows to the south of the city and it's a huge, branching beast. The plan is to divert almost all the flow for irrigation for farmers. The intent is to allow 10 cm of flow for paddlers. That will be a bony ride. Many paddlers attended but the protest was short and uninspired. It lasted 35 minutes. It appears that more political pressure is needed on the City Councilors to come forth with a plan that accommodates multiple uses of the river. How people will fish in 10 cm of water, I don't know.

The photo is of two players, Jean and Emily, on the University's women kayak polo team. I don't know who the woman is on the right except that she is a University student who came along with us.
