Default 2016 Niagara Cruise (Sat May 28) [UPDATE MAY 26: GTA Pre-Meet at Sherway Gardens / What to do if you get lost FAQ]

EDIT MAY 26: GTA Pre-Meet updated in link below to Sherway Gardens at 930 am, leave by 10am. It's at the same place as the Wednesday meets. Also, look under CRUISE ROUTE for what to do if you get lost.

EDIT MAY 21: Lunch cancelled due to lack of interest. We are now rolling as one group from start to finish NEW meetup time of 11am at Casablanca and departure time of NOON sharp!

EDIT MAY 14: Route added.

EDIT MAY 12: Given the higher than expected numbers, we can't order a-la-carte, and we're required to do $40-45 set lunches. Please give us feedback on this. Either way, we're planning on stopping by for photos so you can always meet up there instead.

EDIT MAY 8: We've changed the schedule to accommodate a lunch instead of a dinner - please check your availability


Alright, our 4th annual Niagara Cruise will be happening this year on Saturday May 28, with a rain date for the following Saturday June 4. It's a very relaxing and social cruise, and the *opposite* of what the August Muskoka cruise is like.

For those who've never been on one of our cruises, this usually involves about 4-5 hours of driving, including pit stops for photos, snacks, etc., that ends at Mather Park on the Niagara Parkway for some great scenery. We're also gonna try to stop at one winery since they're some really nice ones along the way. They make for great photos, as well as a place to pick up something nice to bring back home. At the end of the cruise, some take off, but a bunch of us usually stay around to grab a bite. Post up if you can make and/or want to drop some ideas/recommendations.

GTA PRE-MEET: GTA Pre-Meet 930 am, leave for Casablanca at 10 am
MEET UP LOCATION: Casablanca Rest Stop (Click for Google Maps)
MEET UP TIME: 11am (Socialize and gas)
DEPARTURE TIME: NOON SHARP

CRUISE ROUTE: CLICK HERE [please, please, PLEASE save this to your phone]
email this link to yourself, open it on your phone with Google Maps - then you'll be able to get turn-by-turn directions!
-if you get lost, call to find out where to rejoin the group [with a group this large, we can't stop the cruise to chase you down]

GENERAL POINTERS:
1. Bring a radio if you have one (Channel 4)
-This is, quite possibly, the most important thing to bring. It'll prevent you from getting lost and it makes the ride more fun with the ongoing chatter.

2.
Keep your headlights on
-It makes a big difference to be able to see the tail lights in front of you and the headlights in your mirrors.

3. 2-Car Rule
-Whenever you make a turn or are getting on/off the highway, make sure you can see 2 cars behind you before turning.
-if you really must turn because you're holding up traffic, then stop right after the turn so the car behind you can see you (there may have been a few cars between you guys).

4. Stay within the yellow and white lines
-This really isn't an issue on the Niagara cruise, but we cannot emphasize this enough - safety is paramount and we're on public roads.
-If you cannot stay between the lines, then you're driving beyond your limit.
