U69 hailing friendly destroyer on it's way back to Wilhemshaven

Some of you might be thinking "But that's not right, Dowly's sailing to wrong direction.

".

Ok, so here's the deal. My 1xTC was literally 200 meters away from being a total catastrophe. Last night, I was 3 hours away from port on max speed, but I was knackered, so I lowered speed to 8 knots and calculated I could get 8-9 hours of sleep and my boat would be in position to turn to south to enter the bay of Wilhemshaven. (I dont use waypoints in 1xTC).

Anywho, I overslept by roughly 7 hours, jumped out of the bed and rushed to my PC just in time to hit the All Stop key; my boat was 200 meters from hitting the beach just west of Hamburg.

All clear now, going back towards Wilhelmshaven.
