As Damian (Flydigital) said, with current, chop and wind you are not necissarily moving straight in the direction that your kayak is pointing even when you may be paddling hard. So, the reading on your compass is going to show you the direction you are pointing, while the GPS shows you the direction you are actually traveling.
