Well, got back out to the patrol area, and once again, a SICK amount of traffic passed by. One task force and FOUR large convoys! All in the north straight, all in driving rain and stormy winds.
Saw a couple of ships, but never had a chance until the last convoy, I got a fleeting shot, took it (350 M, 220 AOB, 7knts, bearing 190) with a magnetic torp and BOOM! Got a small merchant. I was engaged shortly after, but I think it was by a merchant firing flares (does that count for your crew to call that you're being engaged?). A couple of minutes later an escort tried to depth charge me, but to no avail. I didn't get the map symbol, but I got credit in my log. Oddly, there was a stationary vessel sitting with its lights on at the end of this convoy. I drew closer to it, and it looked like a merchant, but I couldn't see a flag. Rather than take chances, I've left it and sailed back out to the Atlantic.
So I'd HIGHLY recommend A68 if you're in a small boat, as there's a ton of traffic, but it's a small spot to do business.
