NSDate independent of timezone?

Question

I have an app that displays a timetable of certain ferry trips.

If I travel to a different timezone - say 4 hours behind, a 10am ferry trip now shows up as 6am?

You have seen NSDateFormatter's setTimeZone method, yes?

(b.t.w., I'd be amazed if there was a ferry that involved crossing four time zones; sounds like a cruise ship itinerary to me)
