Was pasing trough the english channel when my sonar op reported a contact, merchant, slow, long range. Naturally I intercepted to investigate. I was a wee bit supprised

to find a German! sailng yacht. He was peacefully cruising in the channel in may 1940. So we ordered him to heave to, and asked him what on earth he was doing. It turned out that he had been on a cruise arond the globe, and never heard of the outbrake of war. We gave directions to nearest friendly harbour, wished him good luck and went on our way. Dont now if he made it.
