Not my best patrol

Just finished my 2nd patrol last night, in my IX/C EJ 96. Which resulted in a big fat nothing, even thought the weather was perfect. I did manage to engage 2 large merchants, but my eels either missed or prematurely detonated - this was due to the fact that when i engaged these target the weather unexpectedly turned to rough seas, thus reducing the odds of a succesful hit.
Despite this, im hopeful for my next partol, as its down to the coast off Port of Spain, which means one thing - Tankers! So when I complete this patrol, I should have a large tonnage haul to write about.
