10 Dec '41 1344
294° All Stop
Wx partly cloudy. Wnd spd unknown, est. WNW.
Arrived at predetermined position just SW of Kaua'i, but no island seen.
No sound contacts.

Notes...
This is not expected since Kaua'i Island about 20nm in breadth and over 2,900' in elevation. Inspection of the SH Map shows Kaua'i Island is there, but sub is still 11nm ESE of island. I would expect to have seen it by now.

SOG = 13kts (86%)

Either the knots shown in SH are not true nautical miles or there has been a current or wind against our progress.
