[Paddlewise] Wasa Bogo?

Paddlewisers,

Wanting a good current table example for a sea kayaking course I teach, I
accessed the TideX program at <A HREF="http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/nph-
tideshow.cgi">Tide/Current Predictor</A> and looked up the current tables for
Deception Pass, WA.  The tables show biiiiiig numbers and the footnote "Units
of estimates are bogo-knots."  This is a term I've never found before.  

Could anyone define "bogo-knots" for me, or refer me to a site with that info?

Note:  Bogo-knots should not be confused with "Bozo-knots" -- a unit of
measure used for gauging the speed of micro-sized kayaks paddled by orange-
haired clowns.

Thanks again,
Harold Tervort
So. Cal.
