It's worth it.

Hang around ED94, ED95, ED96. (Just north of Port Of Spain).

You'll have heavy tanker traffik but, you'll also be very close to 2 naval, and air bases.
The tankers run fast, and there is much ASW activity, so it's best to keep a low profile.

Any of the IX classes will make the round trip without resupply.
If not, somebody is doing something very wrong.

Almost all are fast US flagged tankers.

These guys run north of The Azores, then straight for the south of England.

Eventualy, you'll see the USN escorting fast convoys of these tankers.
And they aren't cheap with the escorts either.
