Continued from my previous entry...(sorry about some of the useless information here,it keeps me busy.Its just a copy of my exact notes I make in game on paper)
13th Oct 1942
Day 33
08:56
After our earlier sighting of the light cruiser I came to PD after 1.5hrs submerged.LC was nowhere to be seen,no sound signature either.
Surfaced.
21:45
Dark now.Weather no change.
3100km from S.Naz,about 7-9 days away.
Lowered speed to 8kts,fuel dwindling at this rate,below 25%.

Day 34
07:00
Light time.Nothing more to note.
15th
Day 35.
No change.
05:38
BD66.On our final leg east towards France.Approx 2700km from base,9 days away.
18:00
After a long spell of clear weather,it finally broke.
Clouds heavy,medium rain,Fog heavy,wind 15 south westerly.Decided to make regular dives during darkness in these conditions,as will be unable to see incoming threats,of any kind,plus unable to use radar in these seas,rendered blind.
21:00
Dived 50m,speed slow,attempt to ride out storm.
16th
Day 36.Surface when light,more visibility during daylight.
07:00
Surfaced.10 hrs submerged.
No change.
17th
Day 37.
Nothing more.
07:00
Surfaced,10hrs sm.
11:00
Recharge time +4hrs.
13:00
Changed speed to 9kts,seems we have slightly more reserves than previously thought.Making about 8kts in this sea.
21:00
BE54.Approx 2000km to go.
From here on will attempt a run on the surface at night,as such conditions may also affect the enemy's capabilities,except for their radar of course,but I am hoping our detector will pick up their signals giving us time to dive in advance.
18th
Day 38
No change.
07:00
Uneventful night.Will repeat from here on out.Standard anti aircraft measures to be implemented as soon as we enter the British AZ.
19th
Day 39
BE64
We have now entered the British Air Zone (BAZ),and now comes the dreaded Biscay Gauntlet
Emergency stations by everyone.Lets hope this storm lasts and shields us from the relentless air attacks.A brief moment is shared by everyone now,leaving him with his own thoughts for a few minutes.Report is sent in to HQ notifying them of our position and that we are almost home.It has been many weeks since they last heard from us,they may be thinking the worst.
