Enroute to the patrol area in the "Atlantic Air Gap", the TC dropped to 1. I checked the log and then I noticed the "shallow waters" icon flashing. Wondering
why that icon would be flashing in the middle of the ocean, I climbed up to the bridge to be presented with this sight! The only deserted island in the
middle of nowhere and I was about to run aground on it!
It's situated about 150 Klm NbW of Loch Ewe in the waters North of Scotland and is not visible
on the map unless you zoom right in. Back Emergency saved the day and I didn't have to sit out the remainder of the war on a small island with 43 blokes
and no women!
