Why is the Channel not 'blue water'? you were actually asking the right question. I answered it quite literally in my post
Maybe you did, but it was Laurence's statement which said it all for me:
'But when you leave the Continental Shelf and look at the Bay of Biscay from a small ship it is brilliantly blue. Quite unexpected and miraculous'
Almost worthy of AR! Sometimes the feeling of a phrase is more important than a factual explanation. We are not talking any old 'blue' here.
