Knight's Cross for 16k Patrol!?

But anyway, I have a question for the GWX players...

By staying clear of Scapa, I've made it to July 1940 (hurrah) and even managed to sink HMS Nelson, who I bumped into entirely by accident (extra hurrah) but now I have a problem. According to the GWX manual, my flotilla (2nd) transfers to Lorient this month. However, my mission orders state that I should return to Wilhemshaven (however you spell that) and all I've recieved by Radio is a message saying that there's a new port (or was it dock?) of operations at Lorient - not an instruction to return there. I'd like to return there, cos they've posted me to a DH patrol grid, and even on ahead one third I've had to go through Der Kanal (hugging the now-friendly French coast for all she's worth) just to get there.

So, what do I do? Where do I dock and how do I start operating from Lorient?

Thanks in anticipation

when you start your patrol. do you get a message ?
if so then RETURN to THAT base and not willy
(follow the RADIO messages and not the patrol logg)
