I am astonished but the story of swimming the as Straits of Florida is rated a top story on the BBC News page. I had no idea it was such a big deal. I was going to take a lunch break to watch Diana Nyad land but it is a zoo and I am not interested in spending my precious minutes outside the office being squished in a crowd on Smathers Beach.
BBC News - US swimmer Diana Nyad, 64, makes historic Cuba-Florida crossing
Well now, the fifth time is the charm and all our lives are made better by this unbearable feat of swimming 103 miles all in one go. By a 64 year old woman no less. May her biceps never grow less.

I heard this on my way to work today and was so happy!
What an achievement, amazing woman!
I wonder if she enjoyed Cuba at all.
What an inspiration! Glad there was a parade for her and a local writer Michael Haskins got her first interview when she came ashore.
