Okay so I end this weekend on my first boat cruise and SOOOOO friggin glad I made the right choice. This weekend was jammed packed for me as I went to cobra thurs, vola fri, guv all night and finishing off here (probably not a big deal to promoters or photogs) Although this cruise didn't sell out like in the past I found there was the right amount of people. There was plenty of room to dance and the weather couldn't be any more perfect! After watching the soccer game I mustered enough energy to get my ass down there.

Arrived around 12:30 and was promptly on the boat by quater to 1. Now on the ticket it say departure at 1pm sharp.. like that is going to happen. So the boat finally started moving around 1:40 but music was getting me in the right mood and David Ace was getting things going. I couldn't handle the upstairs sun to start off with and I am sure Matt Herdman got things going too. Grabbed a burger and a beer and was pretty much being lazy and not dancing..
I was told beforehand that Dave Spoon isn't that great live and I am also not a huge electro fan. All that said and done I really enjoyed his set and it got my lazy ass moving . Some people might not be a fan of the high pitched build ups in electro but I didn't mind it. I am sure I would of heard 'At Night' but was surprised and soo pumped to hear at night mixed with 'Be'... song of the day for me! I slowly made my way downstairs to hear Ovi M finish up and by then I was so exhausted I was a walking zombie. Sour dj's are pretty good and seem to draw most of the crowd from upstairs to downstairs. On the way back got a chance to catch the best dancer in the world bust a move to Lee Osbourne who I think started out not too bad but I was soo bored towards the end. I remember this big dude coming up to him telling him "keep it going , keep it goin" and then says if he turns it up any louder he will kill the power or something like that. He didn't look to pleased...

Pretty successful first cruise and geating ready for the omid and demi cruise on Canada day!

good times Dave's set was good, but I absolutely loved what Lee was playing, I'd like to see more of him

and lol @ leaving at 1.45 *sigh*
so much for all the pre-boarding measures and whatnot

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

Had an awesome time !

Went with a good group of friends, saw some old friends, and met some New one's including 3 TA members (kristina,sasha,sundeep) ... u're all awesome !!

There were definitely enough people on that boat to have a sweet party yet with enough space to dance, and the music was oh so sweet!!

As jsiblin said, I myself am also not the biggest electro fan and though I do enjoy some of Spoon's productions from a few years ago I still wasn't sure if I would dig his set. I was wrong... thought he brought alot of energy and played some sweet, boat-party appropriate tunes !! really got the crowd movin !! Thank you Dave Spoon !!

Really enjoyed Ovi's set as always, and was a treat to see Lee Osbourne spin after not seeing him spin in ages... great set as well !!

Sour Dj's impressed me since I had no clue who they were before hand, they got the downstairs packed and dancing non-stop!!

Overall nice weather, good friends, great music and tonnes of dancing made for an awesome cruise !!!

I went on Rock the Boat a few weeks ago and it was the same story, in fact the security was even tighter on that boat it seemed. Also, it took at least half an hour to take off once everyone was already on the boat.

Ah well what can ya do... still had a blast at both parties lol

BBS team couldn't have done a better job, everyone was literally on the boat by 1:10pm, unfortunately and until now I am unaware as to why we left late, no admission tickets were accepted past 1:10pm, we were turning people away even though the boat wasn't leaving (we bent over backwards lol) Anyways...I'm not pointing any fingers because the original source of all these problems is governmental in nature.

Outside of that, my fav part after seeing spoon spin finally, was the excellent weather and the great people. Thanks to those who come for the support yet again hope to see you on the next one.

Ps Just dropped off Spoon, he thought the whole boat party thing was just "brilliant" and thanks everyone.

missed it. Too much to do yesterday

Not surprised. This boat used to be the best one, but it seems like each party that happens on it gets worse and worse.

I understand the need for security but seriously... on the Rock the Boat cruise they confiscated my freak'n lipgloss (which was a clear bottle full of pink sparkly freak'n lipgloss - come'on now...

The guy just took my $30 gloss and tossed it in a bucket without saying a word. I asked the girl who did my body search if I could just put some on - she let me. Looking into the bucket, it was full of girls' makeup - and a lot of it wasn't exactly cheap stuff - most of it wasn't even liquid. Are they seriously trying to tell us that some chick is going to store "stuff" in her face powder?

Getting on the Yankee Lady yesterday, I got to keep my lipgloss.... Yaysies - dry lips suck
