OOT Boat Path travels wrong way

[o07Smurf]

In EQ Classic the boat from Antonica stopped at the Island of the Sisters first and then proceed through the zone towards the Zachariah Reigh Isle where it docked before zoning into Butcherblock.

In project 1999 the boats enter on the opposite side of the zone, so the boat from Antonica stops at the Zachariah Reigh Isle first and then stops at the Island of the Sisters second before heading to Butcherblock, is there a reason for this?

Spooked me the first time I played on p99.
