Snip fair discussion.

Rather than nonsense, just a different view.

I know, but you can't have a debate when everyone agrees can you? I
still don't see how you manage to go slower than the flow of the
water
when going downstream unless you are doing so deliberately or you
are
being blown backwards by the wind.

Honestly, sitting in the Inazone waiting for others to catch up/ play
on
waves - and not in any eddy, I was slowly drifting downstream, but
small
twigs etc were floating slowly past at a faster rate. If we turn
sideways to
the current we drift even slower - gives more time to read approaching
rapids.

Hmm, what do you think causes this effect?

It could be as has been suggested wind, but I suspect it is more like
inertia. Honestly, I don't know. It isn't critical and I'm wishing I hadn't
made the comment now :-)
