The deployments, patrol patterns and timings of "Hoi Kung" patrol craft are also well known to most IIs who plan to escape by sea or by swirming. The best time to cross Deep Bay or the Shenzhen Fiver is at law tide when the Hoi Kung" cannot operate and the best place is to wade through fish ponds, where the PLA will not give chase.
