Endurance swimmer Penny Palfrey crossed the halfway mark Saturday as she pushed through the Florida Straits, enduring jellyfish stings but otherwise encountering perfect conditions in her attempt to become the first woman to swim unassisted more than 100 miles from Cuba to Florida.
Don't think I would care to try it (or even 1/10 of it) but I wish her nothing but the best. Last year I swam across our small lake and that was only about a mile. I made it just to show Mrs. Bubba I could, she was giving me a bad time about getting to old to ski / swim, and was so sore the next day I barely got out of the easy chair.
