"Realistic" transfer to Mediterranean

Finaly, the time has come to leave the Atlantic and go for the Med. My initial plan was to head for La Spezia, but I'll go to Salamis now, in Dec '41. One reason is to use the advantage of the longer winter nights to for more safely passage through the Strait of Gibraltar, and another is I'm getting a bit sick of Atlantic.

Patrol log
U-371 (Type VIIC), under command of Kapitanleutnant Johann Schwarz
1st Flotilla, Brest

Jan 27 1942
15:52 It's sunny tuesday afternoon, and I'm finaly leaving my home port Brest. The sea is calm, with 4 m/s northern wind.
I received my orders to patrol CG79 sector, and after that I'm heading for Salamis.

BF5544. Aircraft spotted. It's far away and I'm not sure if it is one of ours, or British. He didn't bother us, and we continue on course.
