I do the same, except for the social time thing. I'm alone in the house with 3 dogs during the day, and they don't require much social time with me. They sleep almost all day long.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is when waiting (saving fuel, keeping batteries charged) I put the boat at Decks Awash by setting the depth to 25-27 feet, just low enough as not to be considered "Submerged" for purposes of CO2 accumulation. Diving time is much better with that extra 10-12 feet head start should the need arise.

Wait in a good spot, even just a guess, and eventually they will come to you and reveal their lanes. Almost infallible in my experience!
