Thanks for the replies and helpful information. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I need to be doing now.

In answer to your question, I was just about to enter the english channel off the south east coast of England. I had been assigned a patrol grid just the other side of the channel and it 'seemed' the fastest way there, but it's not the fastest if you never get there at all!

It's true it is very shallow there which certainly doesn't help my cause. I think I will be taking the long way around now, up through Scapa Flow. I'm sure it will be busy there too but at least there's some nice deep water once i'm through the channel there.
