Even though this lady may not be in the direct path...she's a bit out of it regarding the level of 'rough seas' she may encounter.

Australian begins Jamaica to Cuba swim

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - After weeks of delays, Australian distance swimmer Susie Maroney waded into the warm Caribbean Sea on Monday and began trying to swim to Cuba, a distance of 100 miles.

It was the latest long-distance attempt for Maroney, 24, who has swum 122 miles from Mexico to Cuba and across the English Channel.

As the sun rose on a clear morning, Maroney set out from the north coast resort of Montego Bay and swam to a rescue boat and shark cage, 200 yards offshore. She will swim inside the cage during the 30- to- 40-hour swim.

``I'm really nervous with the rough seas and all, but I just want to begin,'' she said. ``It's easier mentally once I've started.''
