Hmmm the archaeology class I took failed to mention any such theory. Granted, 
we covered Clovis points mainly on the way to the Anasazi, but the class was 
multidisciplinary and taught by a professot that liked these sorts of theories, 
so you'd think he'd mention it if it were accepted. He certainly made much of 
the seashells and parrot feathers that were found at Chaco canyon....

On the other hand, I was taught (in an astronomy class) that life probably 
began as a result of a lighning strike so the guy with the salt water may be on 
to something.

I saw the same show about the theory of Stone Age people migrating from Western 
Europe to Eastern America.  It is fairly new, and by no way widely accepted, 
but it has some interesting facts, such as habitation sites in the east that 
may be the oldest sites yet found in America.  

The thing I took away from the show was that it would not have been as hard for 
the migration as one may initially assume, because during the ice age, most of 
the Northern Atlantic was frozen over.  This would have allowed Eskimo like 
peoples with simple boats to sail along the edge of the ice shelf, fishing, 
hunting and camping along the way.

I do not believe this theory is to supplant that people came across the Bering 
straight, but more that, that may not have been the only migration path.
