It was just my Dad and I on the water today – him driving the barge and me swimming. It was a tough day, particularly after doing about 9km yesterday. The lake was restless. The wind was from the south.  I was swimming against the wind. My arms felt heavy and tired.  I’m trying to [...]

Liz Marshall has just released ‘Water on the Table‘, an important review of the world’s water situation and documentary related to the effort to get water declared a basic human right. Here’s a trailer of the movie: What’s your view on water?  Should water be declared a basic human right or should it be treated [...]

Daily Recap Unfortunately, today was a moving day, so it was not very interesting.  I took some pictures and videos from my cell phone, but I don’t have a way to load them to my laptop (different SD card size), so I’ll share those at a later date. Although I had planned on taking the [...]
