Lovley, lovely, lovely. Yes that's right it worked.
Dan was right, I needed to get past the island.
JScones was also right, I gave the wrong date. My apologies it was Sept 25th 1940 not Juy 1940. Hmmm.
And to top it all I took Brag's advice and sailed up to the pens. Very impressive and some nice surprises, like the wrecks.
Thanks all. I now have my Oak Leaves and a grand total of 325,000 tons!
