Even when in DC the Electric Field travels at speed of light "c".
Electric field speed is always "c".

Here, I do not understand what you are saying.

I have seen in River wood is floating. And I find Wood always floats
slower than the water.
Try an experiment Have a water flow and put some wood. You will see
the wood travels slower than the water carrying it. And never faster
than the water carrying it. I think its due to viscosity of water.
