that's so disappointing. I suppose this crossing just cannot be made. Too many sea critters and strong currents. Too bad. If anyone could have done it- I would have bet on her!

Just curious- why doesn't she wear a thick neoprene wetsuit like triathletes wear? Seems like that would keep out the stinging critters maybe better?
I don't know anything about ultra endurance swims, tho, so I have no idea.

I truly cannot imagine a 67 mile swim. I mean, HOLY COW! My longest continuous swim was 3 miles and that felt like an eternity!
