Tales from
the Backyard… Generally, Salt water is
heavier than fresh water, but when the fresh water is laden with glacier till,
the reverse is true. In Alaska, no-one
learns to swim, the water is just too cold, so when a couple of friends went
out Shrimping one night and one fell overboard and with water temp in the low
40’s, he was doomed. When one drowns at
the mouth of a glacial stream, he sinks to the stratification layer in between
the fresh and salt water and is never seen again and that’s exactly what
happened. But that’s the life he wanted to live and he did it to the
fullest. RIP my friend.
