Diana Nyad’s attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida comes up just short
August 9, 2011 in Inspiring Lives & Stories
Half-way through what was scheduled to be a 60 hour swim, 61-year-old Diana Nyad had to abandon what she called her “Xtreme Dream” — a 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida.
“It’s over. She lasted 29 hours in an heroic attempt,” said Elaine Lafferty, one of Nyad’s crew members, on Twitter.
On the same Twitter account, her team said that earlier in the evening Nyad was in the water, “surrounded by dolphins and a beautiful Caribbean sunset.” But, they explained, a strong wind “blew her 15mph off course.”
