I saw why there were only two sets of navigation lights showing last night on the More convoy. The More itself is conspicuously lit with vertical mast yellow lights but the Novara, in tow has no lights at all and disappears at night. To overcome this, the Bominflot 5 is anchored bow leading to the Novara's stern. There appears to be only port and starboard lights at the rear of the Bominflot 5, so the illusion is that the anchored vessels appear to be one very long vessel (2 X 85 metres for the tankers.
Weather is ideal for mooring, a very light offshore easterly breeze and calm waters. So far, so good, for the More convoy enterprise - whatever that may be.
