Is there some reason a live boat was not used given the current? All my dives are done like this as slack only lasts for about thirty minutes so any stops are drifting. At my first stop I send up an SMB and the boat can keep an eye on us all this way. As the boat is not anchored they will come get you when you surface.
But yea, in this situation I would have skipped the stop and surfaced so the boat could find me earlier.
