No longer dead in the water
Roberta Poklemba was reading a romance novel in the dusk of a warm evening over the Memorial Day weekend. She sat on the rear deck of her docked 34-foot Silverton with her basset hound, Lacey, sprawled on the bed inside the cabin. Poklemba's barbecue dinner sizzled on a grill set on the pavement of Seneca Fall's canal waterfront.
It's the 18th year Poklemba, of Deposit, a tiny municipality 30 miles from Binghamton, has cruised the state's canal system with husband, Fred. The retired couple take a lengthy trip every summer to the far reaches of the state's canals.
“You get away from the hustle and bustle,” Poklemba said. “On the canal you can only go 10 mph. A lot of places you just go 5 mph.”
