Hi, first time posting here

After looking up two pages worth of threads related to lifeguard missions, I couldn't quite find a satisfactory answer to my problem.

I'm on my career's 7th war patrol starting on 10th of July '42, and my first task was to head off to the Solomon Islands (actual marker is ~20nm south of Choiseul) for a lifeguard duty. I was told to arrive there no later than 8th of December though...

Well, I arrived to the scene in clear weather and daylight, saw absolutely nothing (I was ~100 yards from the marker). I've been now patrolling the area for five days gradually increasing my patrol circle to up to some 30nm and I've seen no planes, survivors or smokes of any kind. Does this actually mean nothing will happen here until 8th of December (like 5 months from now?) or am I doing something wrong? Should I just ignore this task and ask for a new one?

In case it matters, I'm using TMO 2.5 with game version 1.5

Thanks a bunch for any answers in advance!
