Candace Hogan wrote Nyad shook her head in anger as she was pulled aboard her escort boat and talked of going back into the water. Hogan wrote, "Fully alert and articulate, (Nyad) asked, 'When can I get back in? I want full transparency that I was out. But I have plenty left in me and I want to go on.'"
But it was decided that she would not go on for the safety of herself and the team accompanying her.
Mark Sollinger, operations director with Nyad's team, told CBS News he made the decision to pull Nyad from the water this morning at 12:55 a.m. "We had a very, very large squall ... move into our location very, very rapidly so that combination of things made it very, very, very dangerous, not only for Diana but any other member of our team in the water."
she was pissed they took her out of the water.
"CBS This Morning" spoke to members of Nyad's support team, and they said overnight Nyad suffered nine serious jellyfish stings. The support team, concerned about her health, worked to assess her health at that time.
The support team also told CBS News' Elaine Quijano that Nyad made very clear she did not want to get out of the water. In fact, one person, a team member, said "she's a tough, old bird."
Why doesn't the old hag give it up already. She should have tried this 30 years ago.
