Menai Boat Run 2023
This is the annual excuse to get the dive boats out of winter storage and onto the sea in the company of other dive clubs from Wales and the North West.
With that in mind our DO (Steve Bettison) decided to have a run out and took a boat over to join in.
The launch is at Port Dinas (Felinheli), and the boats motor down the straights, under the bridges heading out around Puffin island then back to Beaumaris for a fish and chip lunch.
The boat then does the return run back up the straits to Porth Dinas.
The money raised is for the Beaumaris lifeboat and has raised sums above £1000 in the past so the lifeboat came out for a ‘fly past’, leaving everybody in its wake.
It is obviously great fun but it also has a practical purpose. Those who joined in got an opportunity to have a ride out and practice some of their boat handling skills in the company of other boats.
It was obviously an enjoyable day out as the video testifies.
Thanks to Pete for putting the video together.
