What's going on here, the tracker shows 11.33 am EDT on august 9, while time in NYC is not even 6am...
looks like she will hit land today sometime...
Just read that you ended the attempt. While media will use the word "fail," that is disingenuous if not insulting as you are truly a winner to blaze a new trail and inspire us all to make it as far as you did. I salute you!
Wow, what a week! The new flatciiy looks pretty cool! Hopefully 12 weeks will be enough time for you guys to find a more permanent location.You could have 'summer church' in your back garden

Diana, you are amazing! I thought the 5K Big Shoulders swim in Chicago was tough. And I'm two years your junior. You inspire, motivate and let us all know, whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve. That you didn't finish takes away nothing from your feat. I truly admire you. Thank you!
Thank you, Diana for a great swim that inspired so many. You are a champion in my heart for making such a great effort and I hope you recover quickly. Great Job !!!! There is nothing more I can say, especially since Julie said it so well.
Qudos to Diana for a game try. She sure inspired me.
YOU ARE AWESOME! There is absolutely NO failure here.. failure is never trying.. she swan for 29 HOURS straight. KUDOS! You are a champion and SUCH an amazing role model.!!!
Wow, you are such a champion! I'm inspired by what you've achieved. I truly believed you would make it, but our bodies can only endure so much. I'm 31 and recently started on a weight loss journey. Some days I feel old and creaky, but I look at what you're doing and know I can persevere. Congrats on all that you've done Diana!
how the hell was she supposed to swim for 60 hours with no sleep? people go dillusional after 3 days with no sleep... stupid..
