Cruisin' In Peterburger

Another Sunset Cruise - another awesome night spent with LIFE listeners who lock their radios on 89.3 - our repeater station in the Kawarthas!

We departed from Lock 19 in Peterborough. Rozz and Terry were our Street Team Promo Crew, taking care of hanging LIFE banners, distributing LIFE info, organizing our performers and connecting with the boat caterers.

While it rained during our ride into Peterborough, the sun came out just as we pushed off shore from Lock 19. Handsome and Gretyl (my son Brett and his wife) were on first, entertaining us with a few songs from their EP "Hold On Tight Love". Man, they sold a mitfull of CDs! Then, LIFE 100.3 Karaoke Superstar Winner Andy Taylor took the mic, playing his radio hits, some worship and a couple of new songs he's written. A heartfelt performance!

Hanging with listeners builds the relationship. A boat cruise, on the glass-like Otonabee River, was a peaceful, relaxed ride, with the sound of worship music carrying us down the river. The last time we did this was with Greg Sczebel and I remember the power on the boat went out! No such bad luck this time!

The chicken dinner was great! In fact, the whole staff on Liftlock Cruises was great! We gave away a pair of front row tickets to the Hillsong concert this weekend in Toronto. And best of all - nobody fell overboard!

Thanks Peterborough! We gotta do this again next year!
