When I got up and look out of the window early in this morning, I saw this strange scene. The sea was separated in two colors very clearly. It is so called "the juncture of the two currents." It is caused by two kinds of sea water different in the temperature, the concentration of salt, and the biological content like plankton. I have seen this border from three angle, that is from the sky, on the water, and in the water. When I fly over it, it looks like geometric patterns. When I sail on it, it is like a garbage accumulation place. Lots of logs, branches, seaweeds, and sometimes bottles are accumulated on the boundary and it is dangerous to run motors of boats because they could be caught. When I dove into the sea in southern countries, and swam across the border which was not a line but a face in the sea, it was shimmering like a heat haze and I felt an abrupt change of the temperature. It was an amazing experience.

This picture reminds me when I lived in Seattle. I lived in front of Puget Sound and I loved the view.
I've never seen such a phenomenon as you wrote in Puget Sound, but it always changed colors.

I think the scenary in Vancouver is quite similar to Seattle, however, I feel the difference in culture between these cities whenever I vist Seattle. I'm afraid I prefer Vancouver, I agree that Seattle is definitely a great place to visit and live in.
