“A 56-year-old American athlete has become the first woman on record to swim the Atlantic.
Jennifer Figge took 24 days to swim from the Cape Verde islands off Africa to Trinidad. The exact distance she covered has yet to be calculated.” (update – about 250 miles! – some people are already calling it the great Atlantic swimdle … and my 11 year old spotted it in an instant …)
