How much time did U-boats spend in port?

Here's a monkey wrench, lets say your boat docks at a resupply ship like I just did.
Basicaly your there for fuel and eels, no major repairs or upgrades needed not to mention theres things you can't do to your boat if your not in home port. Given an ease of adjustment with SH3Commander I'm thinking 2 weeks max. What do you all think?
Must give the crew a little time to drink up before the next patrol after all

The supply ship being so close to Cadiz I'm thinking of sneeking into the Med. But it's still early `40 how much could be going on there.

At a supply ship I try to use Commander to let only one day pass, as the u-boats would not dilly about there. These supply ships (or milch cows for that matter) were in neutral harbours and hostile waters - ergo: Get in, load torpedoes - get out. To bad there is no way around getting repaired if you dock at one - therefore I never go to a supply point if at all damaged.

I agree for the most part, I'd also like to stick with the steamers for now.
One day seems a bit short though, I mean it's a supply ship not a cow. I thought to use Thalia untill the Bay of Biscay opens a few ports. Or perhaps even transfer to a med base after that. Anyhow yes resupply over does it. It would be super cool to limit what a resupply could do. Such as maybe 60% on fuel - torps.
