On reaching Chokoloskee Bay, they paused at one point because they were not making any forward progress there --despite exhausting effort. The tide was rising (high tide at 2pm) so taking a break may have been helpful; more depth being helpful.

CP2 in Chokoloskee, FL
SandyBottom and SOS reached Chokoloskee (CP2) at about 1:00pm on Wednesday the 7th. Sailing from Indian Key through narrow canals to CP2 was one of the most difficult efforts so far: thin water, currents, howling head winds, heat, etc. Lots of hard work. The high tide at CP2 is at about 2pm.

They did not stay long at CP2. By 3:50pm SB and SOS were on their way out toward the Gulf.
