I never said that. I'm at the bottom of it so to me a trip along the Passage is "up." If I lived in Price Rupert a trip would be "down" and I would have used that term. This all started when I said in another thread that our boat barely had the range to get up the Passage to Prince Rupert, but because of the current effects and winds we probably wouldn't get anywhere near that far. But then someone said the current's not a factor because it cancels itself out and that, in this case, is wrong for the reasons I've stated.

You might want to talk to him about it. Particularly about local currents. Could be you might learn something.
