Belatucadrus Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 But I still think she's completely barking mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 :0 There will be no sleep for Ms Nyad for the next three days - just brief pauses in the water every 90 minutes to take in food through a plastic tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I wonder which pieces of her will be washed up on the beaches at Key West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Seems it didn't quite work out mind you 53 miles in those conditions is still pretty mind boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Seems it didn't quite work out mind you 53 miles in those conditions is still pretty mind boggling.At her age she didn't do too badly. It's still a good distance swim. All in all it's a little further than across the English channel and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 If at first you don't succeed try again. The woman is very persistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Seems the electric shark repeller doesn't work on jellyfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man Ray Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 LOL, at least she tried - many times, in fact. I think swimming across the English Channel is not a bit challenging to her. That's why she came up with this brilliant idea to swim across the shark-infested Carribean. Too bad she only planned for the sharks and not the other marine creatures like jellyfishes.

Belatucadrus Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 It seems she's the poster girl for sheer bloody minded persistence and refusal to give in, I raise a digital glass to the amazing and now successful fifth time lucky Ms Nyad. Doesn't stop her being barking mad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 It seems she's the poster girl for sheer bloody minded persistence and refusal to give in, I raise a digital glass to the amazing and now successful fifth time lucky Ms Nyad. Doesn't stop her being barking mad though. She certainly is persistent with her efforts. She has gone down in the record book with this one and I doubt it will be a long time, if ever, that this is attempted again. Well done to her.
