    Rare sight

    Transiting from Lowestoft to SYH on Sunday. Looking at the horizon in the direction of Sunk VTS they looked like a skyscraper landscape anchored out there. Coming out on Monday en route to Burnham and the Medway conversations on the VHF from Sunk VTS seemed to indicate they were being despatched...
