Checkpoint 2 is my freakin' backyard. I agree that it's a challenge when it comes to timing your entry/exit during "full" tides (in or out)with that current kicking. I'd be hesitant to do it at night, too.
Drawing only 18" does have an advantage.
Looks like your track showed you went up Indian Key Pass, and exited Turtle Key.
Swampmonkee went back west and looks like they shot out Chokoloskee pass.
Sounds like successful navigation around CP 2 and CP 3 are the keys to this race?
