The transit continues toward South Caicos across the Caicos Bank, a 4,400-square-kilometer shallow area.19:12 During the passage, a fishing line fouls the propeller, requiring a crew member to enter the water to clear the obstruction while the boat drifts in open water.15:20 Navigating the bank involves constant vigilance, as depths frequently hover around two meters with shifting coral heads and sandbars.18:59 The crew maintains slow speeds to avoid grounding, relying on visual navigation to supplement electronic charts.22:22
