It would be a lot harder to take one against a current though, admit it.

Yeah but we don't need to and we still are less likely to want to move there than vice versa.

I picked the flotillas explicitly to demonstrate the obvious desperation involved. Something we probably have a hard time actually relating to. That's just our privilege though.

Hmm I'm not buying it. The laws of physics as applied to currents are universal.
