The point I was trying to make is that in harbors the wind
pushes the water around. On Long Island Sound you will
notice a distinct pattern where the west side of harbors
have the most silt. The reason being, the eastern sides are
exposed to a longer fetch and this tends to make the east
sides deeper. The cause--the prevailing westerlies.

One problem, Joe. Mark was talking about a river, with strong current.
Bart was talking about a harbor.

River

Harbor

Note that there are two seperate & different words, because they are
seperate & different things. Mark Twain had some comments about this
issue, too.
