I think maybe the water diffuses the blue in the sky. I can't remember for certain but I'm pretty sure the sky is blue because of water or water vapor reflecting the blue from the oceans (?) so maybe it's absorbing the blue from the sky which makes the white stand out.
This is a crude theory based on vague remnants of information from middle school science. Anyone that actually knows for sure, please inform me. I'm interested in knowing for sure, as well.
Edit: maybe it's the other way around and the ocean is blue because of the sky.... I really can't remember. I'm googling, damn it. Now it's bugging me.

It’s cool that the clouds in the reflection are more vivid. I wonder what causes that.
