KCRW commentator Diana Nyad had to make the difficult call last week and postpone her plans to swim from Cuba to Florida. The water turned too cold for her to make the trip, after months of planning, training and delays due to visa issues and weather. She was on the air last night to explain what happened and how she feels about trying again next year.
