Sounds like you're the next recipient of the green winnie.
Channel is a bad place. Can you creep into one of the french ports?

If your batteries run out, you have no choice but to surface. Wait for a night, and prey for vile weather.

Dont worry about it. BdU has forseen such dilemmas arising and taken measures to assist you. If you look in the small box next to your bunk you'll find a luger pistol.

Can I have your gramaphone?

You arent running your engines still are you? You can stop those if you are sitting at the bottom the channel. No point in running them if they arent getting you anywhere. Just shut down the engines and wait it out.

You don't need your engines to surface, so I don't see what the problem is really. Am I missing something?
