What a great day on the water! We loved offering free boat rides today and sharing a little sunshine and happiness between the rain. Thanks to everyone who came out…especially John Palminteri NewsChannel 3-12!

Businesses and tourist services are rebounding from the rain recently including the Lil' Toot which had free rides for a day.

When the temperatures rise, Santa Barbara locals know the coolest place to be is on the water. A ride on Lil’ Toot offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat. Thanks for joining us John Palminteri NewsChannel 3-12!

Waterfront area businesses in Santa Barbara are getting a taste of the real summer weather this weekend. Until now the days since June have been basically moderate. With the sunshine comes the customers.
