I was nearly at a dead stop but both of the gps units were saying that I was going almost 4 mph. This lasted about 30 minutes. Solar flares? Aliens bumped a satellite? What y'all think?
Had something similar to that happen to me one day out from the mouth of clear creek. Everything said I was speeding up but my drift socks came up beside the boat. Best I could figure there was some kind of current right through there. Like you said after about 30 minutes and some distance down the lake everything was back to normal.
