53 hour swim from Cuba to the US

64-year-old Diana Nyad, became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage.

It took her 53 hours, which is till faster than flying commercial airliners.

Way to go Ms. Nyad! That's quite the accomplishment. 64 years old.

Evidently, one of the more serious hazards for this swim were the Jellyfish. :o I can understand that. :yep:
