Exciting Start from the deck of the Falmouth Harbour Commissioners actual Pilot Boat the L K Mitchel.
This is a remark of respect to the L K Mitchell Falmouth Pilot Boat which is coming to the end of her 46 years of service and to the pilots, coxwains and crew that worked on board her during that time.
Our grateful thanks to the Falmouth Harbour Commissioners for the opportunity to start the Pilot Cutters Race from the deck of an actual Pilot Boat L K Mitchell.
