34 k of mercants in less than 4 hours

I left Vigo and I was heading north to my favorite hunting grounds (BF 13-17) when i came up 2 large merchants (french flag). I sunk both and after a 3 hours i sunk two more large mercants (french flag also).

It took me 4 torpedoes and around 90 deck gun shells but was totally worth it....

BF 74 and BF 75 (NW of Ferrol)...Never been here before,love it! Late May '40.

Will traffic from CG or CF then fine, you can be there, I often pass when I going south or other course

You'll often find a small convoy - 1 DD + 2 or 3 merchants - traveling from BF 74/75 north-northeast through BF 43 (GWX3.0). I wait for them to use my last one or two eels before sailing back to St.Nazaire.
