Day at the Docks in Falmouth

I met up with Peter Childs, Chief Executive of A&P Docks in Falmouth. The good news was it was one of the best days weatherwise this year.

There are exciting developments at the Docks. Projects to enable larger passenger ships to dock alongside will provide additional wealth to the town. There are also major plans to build a marina where some of the old pontoons are currently being taken down.

The docks employs and provides skills to many people in this area. It is without doubt the lifeblood of Falmouth and the surrounding area.

I spent a lot of time around various docks in the world when I was sailing around in the 1970's. There is always a feeling of excitement and travel - and of course, the smell of the sea!
