Me, too, GaKaye.

A few years ago, just ahead of the huge Sargasso issues throughout the Caribbean, we were flying in to Sint Maarten and you could actually see for miles and miles of ocean the huge layers of seaweed covering the waters and turning them an ugly shade of greenish brown. it was the first time we’d ever witnessed the Sargasso phenomenon and we were clueless as to what we were seeing. I doubt seriously that any amount of kicking or paddling would have any bearing on the presence of this seaweed.
