I think you meant to say "subtract" rather than add miles.

What I was meaning to say was "add considerable miles to a days run."

I see what you mean. I generally set a destination, and the earlier I get
there the sooner the fun (eat/drink/make merry) begins. So currents can be
helpful in getting the festivities underway sooner.

... That's what you get when you invite a
kid brother (53) along. Nothing has changed since he sailed with me
40 years ago.

Well, I reckon you both spend less time in sailor bars by now (smile).

Good luck and good sailing.
