Plus a lot of Caribbean traffic (i.e., US traffic) will be neutral in 1939. The mouth of Gibraltar's a good choice at that point.

West of gibraltar, neat Cape Sao Vicente is a good hunting spot.
You have already burned too much fuel to make it to the Carib in any sub.

am currently using a type IXb and refueled and rearmed at the supply ship at las palmas in the canary island's.have arrived off of the venezuelan coast with more than enough fuel to make it back to las palmas.i will loiter for awhile then return to las palmas to refuel and return to base via gib.area,bf15/16 and the area north of ireland.i just hope the conditions have improved they were atrocious for almost 3 weeks.
