It turned out that it was going to head back to Menai Bridge landing stage with the few passengers it collected there.
We decided that we would have a trip so we boarded at Menai Bridge stage did the trip under the bridges around the island and Puffin island to Llandudno.
Then 400 passengers alighted and just twelve of us we brought back to Menai Bridge stage. Five hours most enjoyable.
The sunset was unbelievable and I can assure you that none of the photos have been enhanced. The sea was actually red with reflection from the sun.
There were two bars and a restaurant on board.
No. 1 Balmoral.
No.2 Under the new bridge, the new steel work carries the London to Holyhead railway.
No. 3 Old bridge looking through the new one.
No.4 Speed boat showing off.
