Weather: wind south, force 4–7; sea state 3–5; visibility 8 nautical miles; cloud 9/10; cloud base 1,200 metres.

The planned return convoy from Alderney to Guernsey was postponed by 25 hours because of the weather.

I intended to sail to Alderney on 19 November in F.L. 13 and F.K. 56, to inspect the specialist troop course ending at Naval Artillery Detachment 605 and to open the first N.S. command course on Alderney itself.
