Ivana’s talk will cover a day and a night in the life of a Thames Sea Pilot: from first call and passage planning, to being bounced around in a pilot boat and THAT ladder climb. She will walk and taus through every step to meeting the Captain on the bridge and what entering and leaving the Port of London looks like, on any given day, at every stage of the tide.
Ivana is currently a marine pilot for the Port of London Authority and has worked as a marine pilot for over 6 years. Prior to becoming a marine pilot she navigated warships in the Royal Navy. She is obsessed with all things nautical and is passionate about the sea… and safety!
