I’ve never had to deal with big tides, so your comment about tides got my attention. My boat is not very fast at all in slack water, and if I have to go against any current it’s really slow. So is planning around tides crucial above Florida?
If you are running against the current, hang in there. About an hour later you will cross into the effects of a different sound and have a good favorable current for another hour. Just enjoy the scenery.
