Mid June, '43. Patrol Sea of Japan/Hokkaido coast via La Perouse strait. Got a bad feeling about this.

Sank two lone merchants for ~10k tons approaching the strait. Submerged for the day in deep water to wait for night to cross.

About 3/4 of the way through deck watch spotted what I assume to be fishing boats under sail (no sonar or radar contact). Went to periscope depth to keep from being seen. Crawled out into deep water at dead slow. Made it through, recharging batteries and giving the crew some fresh air. Still very jumpy.
