Thanks for that. Indeed, that must be where I was going wrong, I was trying to barricade the channel from the Dover end, and, as you say, it's way too shallow!

I guess the trick with a good depth is to sit quietly, and just wait and hope? What are my chances of damage at a depth of say, 70m?

I generally follow the old rule the real Kaleuns followed which was to reach the Atlantic by going over the top of the UK. Gives me time to show my sailors snow!

I'll try the Irish sea, depending on how lucky i'm feeling. I want to make a good go with my next career. Perhaps playing it safe. What's the best place for undefended shipping en masse?

Cheers
