Recommended Posts

"I white-knuckled the tiller in my left hand, pushed the throttle forward in my right. The engine roared louder as a fresh level of terror rose in my chest," she wrote.

Debbie Snook, a reporter with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, wrote an interesting story recently about renting a boat from Mid-Lakes Navigation in Skaneateles and traveling the Erie Canal.

Included in the story is mention of traveling through Montezuma.

She wrote: "I white-knuckled the tiller in my left hand, pushed the throttle forward in my right. The engine roared louder as a fresh level of terror rose in my chest.

"I was now in charge of a 34-foot, 12½-ton boat on New York state's Erie Canal."
