Then, I've had good luck under the curve of Africa (under the "q" <- curve), about 200 km in, 100-150 km off the coast. Happy hunting!

Got some Grid references? Always looking to add to my notebook  |
If there's a handy online grid map, sure. If not, I'll try to remember it. I can say that the pull-down map in GWX (top left corner of F5) has been VERY helpful in finding ships in the area. For example, the convoy line that travels down the right side of DT has produce at least two convoys on each of my 3 African trips (it once was so good, that combined with a convoy from Gib on the way down, I didn't make it to Freetown before I used up my torps for 80K worth of shipping!). The individual merchant routes aren't quite as reliable, but they're generally pretty good.
