Yesterday we held the autumn meeting of the joint BPA/UKMPG Marine Pilotage Group and as usual the discussions were full, frank and informative. Thank you for your input: Mike Bunton, James Clark, Debbie Cavaldoro, Hywel Pugh and Bill Evans. Always interesting and topical, this meeting was particularly memorable as Ben McInnes arrived 'a little late' having performed cpr on a young man on route. As you would expect from a marine pilot and harbourmaster, Ben took it all in his stride, and after handing over to the paramedics he continued on his way. How amazing are ports people! #ports #marinepilots #savinglives
