		<title>Lightning ahead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lightning silent through the rain ahead makes the clouds glow for a split second and reflects along the water. Other ships appear in the same moment then disappear as fast. Only to be seen with eyes, cameras don&#8217;t do it &#8230; <a href="http://timstimes.net/2010/08/20/lightning-ahead/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Mirrored tanker in the &#8220;silence&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A still night in March where the dark waters of Grangemouth dock became a mirror. The only sound was the oil rushing through the cargo lines and the cargo pumps whining at high pitch so you couldn&#8217;t really have heard &#8230; <a href="http://timstimes.net/2010/04/08/mirrored-tanker-in-the-silence/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Pilot by night in the German Bight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early this morning the Cuxhaven pilot boat loomed out of the mist around our stern to pick up the disembarking pilot. Called Lotse in German, Lots in Swedish. All these names are derived in some form from Lodestone, or leading stone &#8230; <a href="http://timstimes.net/2010/03/10/pilot-by-night-in-the-german-bight/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
