One reason you could be starting off of Africa is that you launched SH3 with SH3 Commander and subsequent starts were not launched using Commander but with just the SH3 app.

If you are in your career always start the game with commander if that is what you are using.

IIRC this may be an issue with Commander and/or the game not knowing where to place you on the map at the start of a new patrol, because the base change is not being handled properly. So it puts you in a "default" location of 0° latitude and 0° longitude, which is off the coast of Africa.

Sorry I can't remember all the details about what exactly causes it and how to fix it - but somebody here will, because it's happened to other players and come up for discussion before.
