What can I say I like trying new things.

I stained first coat with no issues at all and under same weather conditions. I am in Burlington, Ontario area, we have had a week of mid 20s celsius weather, obviously cooler at night. Day before yesterday I started the second coat. The areas that look good were completed by 3.30-4pm, area that dried to a soft white haze was completed by 5.30pm. Obviously these boards did not dry properly and I'm sure there was a little morning due. I'm a bit baffled by this, the bad parts look awful and I'm incredibly disappointed given the time and effort gone in to this.

First inclination is to take a sander to them and start again, obviously earlier in the day. I'm looking for some advice in what to do next, ie. should I leave it dry any longer (2 days of warm sunny weather already), should I put another coat over top; or should I sand the bad boards and start again??? Any helpful advice would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
