Carribean sea.. worth the journey?

[Aviv]

Hey everyone, I am just getting back into Sh3 GWX after a loong break so I'll probably have more questions coming up in a few days. I'm glad to see this place is still alive! :b

My first question is this; I'm off the coast of Africa (near Dakar) in April 1941 with a IXB. I don't know if I should go to the Canary Islands to refit (to the Corrientes I think) and then head to the Caribbean or forget it go back home to Lorient. I didn't find as many boats as I planned to near Africa so my crew are still looking for blood :b and plus there is a lot of storms there so I thought I could go to the sunny islands.

Is it worth the journey to go to the Caribbean or not? Or would it be better to wait until 1942 when US ships can be sunk? I've never been to that part before so I don't know the good areas or what to expect, so I need the advice of good captains!

Thanks!
