Swim the Atlantic? Proof 10% Is Now Good Enough

The great human interest piece over the weekend was that cougar Jennifer Figge became the first person to swim the Atlantic Ocean. Ok, obviously she didn't stray too far from the beach in Portugal and end up in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. She swam MOST of the ocean, or so we were told.Ok, she only swam from the Cape Verde Islands, well off the west African coast, to Trinidad, well off the South American coast.Ok, she really only swam 10% of the way, according to her own people. That's 250 miles, or roughly 40% of the distance from Cape Hatteras to Bermuda.
