My guess would be that:
(1) You are not giving the escorts enough clearance. If you block their path, then they will find you. But since their formation is fairly rigid and predictable and you have a hours as they approach, you should be able to avoid them at 2kts.
(2) You are making noise and drawing attention to yourself.
(3) You are using your scope while you are out in front of the escorts. There is no need for the scope. You can do all your positioning via sound until it gets close to shooting time.
