5 March 1943 Channel Islands Sea Defence diary

Weather: wind 90°, 11 m/sec. Between 06:00 and 07:00, S 68 and S 85, returning from an operation against the enemy, ran on to rocks north of Guernsey in fog. Three harbour-protection boats went to assist them. Both E-boats freed themselves and entered St Peter Port at 09:10. Harbour-protection position 8 off Jersey could not be manned during the night of 5/6 March because of the shortage of boats.
