There may be no resolution to this question unless it comes from the German side who can find some report where the U-85 was given that mission; to land spies on the coast. There were several landings around this time.
One intriguing thing is that U-85 was operating in shallow water when it was caught by the Roper. If the captain wanted to recharge his batteries my thought would be that he would have made sure he was in deep water so he could dive to safety. This U-Boat is often visited by SCUBA divers because it is easily reached.
