I remember a girl who had no arms passed her elbows and no legs passed her knees swim somewhere around Alcatraz or something. they had a cage around her with a boat that pushed the cage as she swam to protect her from sharks and what not

I'm impressed that she stuck with her dream despite her advancing age. Her first attempt was in 1987 or something crazy like that. Then to try it 3 more times despite previous failures. True sports hero
Do it Bear Gryll's style, jump off a plane mid way there, and then parachute down... after landing, start building your own shelter and hunting / gathering food...
Oh and make sure to start planning your exit strategy since you'll need one of those too... unless you plan on doing it like this woman and swimming back 100+ miles...
But seriously, hats off to this woman being able to pull off such a feat... i know i could never do it...
Sorry to jump all the way back to page two... yes, this is what I was getting at. Swimming in jellies does suck down in the Keys right now. Right now, there are moon jellies so thick it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. We did a couple of dives in the Keys for FTK about two weeks ago. Coming up we looked horrible - like we had been in a bar fight. Any exposed skin was red and swollen from the venomous tenticles. The first 6-10 ft of depth was jelly on top of jelly. I wish I had a pic.
