[Paddlewise] Glassy water

For the first time in my limited paddling endeavors I came across water
as smooth as glass. First, it was momentarily disorientating going from
a rippling effect to glass, but even more disturbing, it felt like I was
paddling through jello and it seemed I slowed quite a bit. For you
hydrologists out there was it my imagination or did the situation become
more sluggish. It seems rougher water is faster or gives the illusion of
being faster. Thoughts anyone??...............bob klemick
