Okay, I like good WX, but this is ridiculous!

On my last one and a half patrols I've also experienced 'perfect' weather and it was also in Dec '40-Feb '41. But both these patrols brought me to the North Atlantic so I don't think that transferring the Norway will give you any guarantees. Although I can imagine that on average the weather will be worse there.

On my last patrol, I had weather changing every few hours. I was about to start bitching but remembered the weeks and weeks of rain and towering seas.

Now you've said that you will get heavy seas with thick fog for the next few months lol.

I'd wish my patrols were like that! The moment I clear the Kiel canal, BANG! 200ms winds, rain drops the size of an car and a fog that prevents you seeing your own eyelashes!

I have been on my Med. runs again since that S-Class I took under and the Med. weather is very calm until recently. I took the advice to try patroling over to Malta just yesterday for some better hunting.

At first I was considering just rounding the island (deep channel at the north end is nice), but then the seas and winds started picking up as the sun set, all just due north of the Grand Harbor of Valletta! I'm now gearing due south, bobbing under for some hydrophone checks, then back up flank on the surface. If I can out-skirt the patrol craft in this fortunate bad weather and sunset, I'm good for tour of the Maltese harbor before sunrise!

I'll send you all some postcards.

On my latest patrol I've had bad thunderstorms, heavy seas and rain right up the African coast from Dakar to southern Spain. Not a single break in the weather. Prior to this the weather during the patrol was changeable, but with good periods of fine weather. This morning I came across a Passenger Cargo and managed to hit it with one torp out of two but the weather claimed the kill
