Patrol area, then wandering off... Historic?

This may have been discussed before.

When out on a patrol I end up going to my grid, spend 24h there (although I know with GWX 2.1 I will not get a thing for it which is fine with me) then go mostly closer to the shore or ports for hunting.

Is this historic? Did the skips wander of or did they stay in the area assigned. Staying in the area for 24h only makes absolutely no sense to me to be honest.

What do you think?

The reason I am wondering off all the time is that I am early in 1940 with a IIA. Not enough renown to upgrade but I also put in for a transfer to Wilhelmshaven. So with that boat it is kind of though to chase anything plus the hydrophones are weak. I need to position myself a bit better than just sitting in a grid somewhere in the middle of the North Sea.
