Diana Nyad's team responds to skeptics doubting her swim-
Mitch Roffer of Melbourne-based Roffer's Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service Inc. said he got an email questioning whether Nyad's swim
was a hoax, so he decided to look at the charts for himself. What he saw convinced him that she could do it.
"Many times that current runs west-east and you're constantly fighting the current if you're swimming north. In this case, it was in
the shape of an S, and the angle was almost exactly from Havana to Key West," Roffer said.
