Four kayaks reunited after the capsize and then encountered a checkpoint formed by three German vessels. The crews lay flat and paddled silently enough to pass without discovery, demonstrating the concealment value of the low-profile boats. Cuttlefish then separated, reached shore with an unusable kayak, and evaded pursuit for roughly four days before its crew was betrayed and handed to the Germans. Coalfish remained with Catfish and Crayfish through the night but its crew was captured near the Pointe de Grave lighthouse after daybreak.
