Sailing through the channel

It can certainly be done and I've also successfully tranversed it in 1939. BUT if you make a wrong move you can end up with a dead crew so it depends on whether you need to take the risk or not. In this case it looks more like someone who is in a hurry to get to their patrol grid rather than someone in dire need of the channel to get home after being damaged or some such.

The advice on using 2/3 speed rather than higher speeds will allow him to get where he needs to go via the historical method. If historical accuracy is not the goal then by all means use the channel.
