    Does sound like you haven't triggered the checkpoint. If you had, it's totally self explanatory. It prompts you on screen to go to the statue on the beach to resume your progress.

    The story missions or "tall tales" as they call them, never used to have any checkpoints, with some taking an hour or more it could be frustrating...the reason I'm guessing was because it was all online, though Rare did eventually cave and put them in.. Though still not as regular as you'd expect, which seems to he in this case.

    There's a good game in there, especially with friends. It just feels at times that the devs have lived this game for so long, while they totally understand how the game works and feel its internal logic and mechanics make perfect sense.. They don't realise that to a newcomer, or even someone who bounced hard at launch trying to return, some of their design decisions vary from unclear to frustrating.
