Nyad tries Cuba-Florida swim again

cnn.com - Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- If Diana Nyad never realizes her dream of swimming the Florida straits, it won't be for lack of trying. The 64-year-old began her fifth and last bid to swim from Cuba to the United States on Saturday morning.Previous attempts were thwarted by dehydration, ocean currents and excruciating jellyfish stings to her tongue."There's the fine line between seeing that things are bigger than you and letting your ego go," Nyad said at a news conference in Havana Friday.
