OK, so about another year then.
About the same time the east coast of the USA should ramp up

.
Have spent alot of time patrolling the area just south of Newfoundland, just south of the Grand Banks (shallow areas).
There seem to be alot of single ship traffic, including troop ships, tank-carriers, lone merchants, etc.
It's just a long sail to get there, at least I'm based in France finally.
Thanks Gents.
