Note, too, that some friendly boats, such as the Corrientes at Las Palma (GWX 1.03), are closer to the US east coast than the French ports by 1000 km or more. When I have an IX boat and want to go to east coast US, I usually run BE37-BE39, then the Liverpool-Sierra Leone corridor to the Cape Verdes, then run up to Las Palma to top up on gear and fuel -- then go over. Usually I am up 50K tons before I go "over there."

I do my business, then back to Las Palma for a fuel top up, and then home. It ends up being 3 patrols, about 4 months at sea.

Now, 4 months IS a long time, but what with saltpetre in the gruel and 24/7 air attack drills, the boys are as docile as springtime lambs.
