This weekend, at least twelve cruise yachts are expected to begin arriving in the Essequibo River, sailing south from Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago and up Guyana’s coastline from Saint Laurent du Maroni in French Guiana for the 5th International Nereid’s Rally.

A release from Public Communications Consultants Limited said that the Cruisers, originating from the USA, Canada and Europe are expected to begin clearing Customs and Immigration tomorrow at Bartica and drop anchor to spend the next ten days offshore from Hurakabra River Resort in the Essequibo River. There will be an official luncheon welcome by Minister of Business with responsibility for Tourism, Dominic Gaskin, on Thursday, September 14th.

Bartica’s Regional Chairman, Gordon Bradford, on Tuesday, September 12th will host the yacht crews to a day visit to Bartica and a tour of Baracara Falls.
