Yes, that darn freshwater is all over the place these days from snow, rain, rivers - or worse. I won't want to paddle North Atlantic waters soon, due to climate change and the potential for the Greenland ice cap to melt which, combined with higher rainfall at those latitudes could disrupt the Gulfstream significantly by adding freshwater and decreasing sea water salinity. What's a poor sea kayaker to do?
