I went out on the boat yesterday about 3 nautical miles out there was a wavy line and on the inland side it looked like a cleaner blue and on the other side it was dark blue?

Hard to say without knowing the specific location, but there’s a thing called a continental shelf that extends out a ways, generally a couple hundred miles at a depth of maybe 200 feet, from the shoreline of the continent, and then the ocean floor pitches down, often in an almost sheer cliff, to the so-called abyssal deep, which averages well over 10,000 feet. My guess is you were looking at that. And if that makes your balls crawl up, well join the club.
