Corrientes is a supply ship with lots of oil barrels stacked up on deck and everything else you might need stored below. I dock alongside but the game allows you to do this automatically if you exit your patrol when you are in the vicinity (I think you need to be closer than 20 Kilometres) you will see an on screen option that says "Dock at Corrientes?".
The English Channel isn't so difficult in the game during the early war years provided you make a dash by night or in poor visibility on the surface and very close to the French Coast. In real life mines were the biggest danger at this time but these do not seem to be a threat in the game. Having said that it is safer and likely more rewarding taking the favoured route around Scotland and west of Ireland - you can make the journey at a fuel efficient speed and will probably have an opportunity to sink a few merchants on the way . . .
