The surface water moves fairly rapidly forward until you are about 10 feet behind the log boom, then slows to zero speed with respect to the logs. The kayak gently nudges the logs and sits there while you eat lunch, have a beer, whatever. The deeper circulation behind a laden barge, however, produces a violent sheer in the vertical plane just behind the barge. I don't want to try that out, because I don't know where I'd be swept in the event of a capsize.
