Wondering what is causing this?

Might be coccolithophorids whose skeletons(?) are made of calcium carbonate (chalk).

You getta enjoy a tropical cruise ship experience without the benefits of norovirus! No vomiting, explosive diarrhea, or bullshit formal wear 'captain's dinners' trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey in a monkey suit.

Don't worry...we're on the way to the end of of the Anthropocene....both you and I will be dust long before the shit hits the fan for our species! Enjoy!

And referring to the Hood Canal as a a famous 'fjord' is just hilarious!

A change of latitude would be nice! Went to St. John a couple of years ago. It was ok. Still so much to explore in the PNW.

Take the warm water set up and nail yourself some silver bonefish action this year when it looks like that and look the part
