Why am I given patroll routs that can't be done?

It is just drunken orders from BDU. I was given coordinates to patrol a tiny piece of a square as the rest of it was land. I guess I was to look for skiffs to sink or something. I went and did it anyway. I would just return to port with what I can get as far as tonnage. I have used all my torps before on the way to the assigned grid and sent a radio message. BDU told me to return even though I did not reach my grid. Oh well, I got some renown but not all I guess.

Hmmm....reminds me of the time when I was suppose to patrol the coast of Greece in a place where 8/10 of the square was inland Greece. I went there, patroled the little water which was there and went on to sink a couple o' buggers around Malta

I got given the Solent to patrol once - it was then that I finally realised that Onkel Karl hated me...

Stretch of water in between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Not fun with GW mod!

But eh.....that's just a couple o' 1000 meters innit? Why would you like to go there anyway.....
