What color is a waterspout?
A water spout will be the color of the water it picks up.
Is a waterspout a solid cylinder of water?
No. A waterspout is a vortex of air, essentially a tornado on water. The low pressure in the waterspout causes the moiat air in it to cool, which causes water droplets to condense, forming a funnel cloud. A waterspout will also spray up some water from the surface, but not a very significant amount.
Why are there no tornadoes during water?
A tornado can pick up the water and scatter it around the landscape, but the water molecules themselves are still water. This is generally not a significant effect, though, as the water picked up rarely constitutes more than a fine spray. In some cases debris may be thrown into lakes and streams. Overall, tornadoes generally do not significantly affect water systems.

What is a waterspout from a tornado?

Why was the water from a waterspout which hit you while at sea freshwater and not saltwater?
There are two possible explanations. The first is that the water you felt was not spray, but rain, as watespouts are generally associated with showers and thunderstorms. Rain forms from condensed water vapor, and since salt does not evaporate with water, rain is always fresh water. If you actually entered the waterspout, you may have come in contect with the funnel. The funnel of a waterspout is not from water being suck up, but is the result of moisture condensing in the low pressure of the watespout. The same mechanism produces the funnel of a tornado on land.
