Hi there, I’m Mike. I was born in Hamworthy, into a fishing family, and have worked in Poole Harbour all my life; commercial fishing, Poole pilots, RNLI (fleet operations & trials) and lifeboat crew for 30 years. I joined the Dolphin team in 2022 and it has given me a chance to share my lifelong passion for Poole Harbour with others.
