I'm on my second patrol from Salamis, trying out manual navigation. Had fantastic weather patrolling my grid and trawling between Alexandria and Tobruk, didn't pick up a contact either visual or hydrophone (and I do checks every 3 hours with my own ears) A couple task forces reported on radio but way too far to catch up.
Headed for south of Malta then plan to ambush in the bottleneck between Sicily and Tunisia. And guess what : as soon as I got close to Malta, rain, wind and heavy fog... Might ride it out in port in Lampedusa if it lasts... Sounds like this patrol is not going the right way so far.
Funny thing, I received a radio message from BdU around Nov 10th telling me Salamis was now open for operations.
