Forty one year old Robert Elfers will not attempt Lake Erie crossing again after being pulled from the water minutes before midnight near the lake’s widest point. He told family he has it out of his system following more than 30 hours in the water, about two thirds of the way across. He was exhausted and hallucinating near the end, with his wife and father noting the cold and fatigue. The attempt began Friday from Port Stanley Ontario, crossed the international line on Saturday, and left Elfers hospitalized briefly before returning home to rest.
