Yachts grace Guyana’s shores
Nearly two dozen yachts graced Guyana’s shores as they made their way from Trinidad and Tobago to French Guiana, as part of the Nereid Rally.
The first set of vessels arrived recently while the remaining yachts sailed up the Essequibo River, earlier this week, and were welcomed in grand style at the Hurakabra River Resort, owned and operated by Mr. Christopher Nascimento and his wife, Gem.
A second convoy is expected in October; this will be led by former international sailor, Simon Wall.
When the vessels arrived, they made their way to Bartica, at the center of the confluence of three great rivers, the Mazaruni, Cuyuni and Essequibo, some 40 miles up the Essequibo River. Bartica is an official port of entry and welcomes the arrival of cruisers.
Planning for this highly anticipated event began months ago. A team travelled to Trinidad and Tobago, in early August, to promote the event and to encourage maximum participation from yacht enthusiasts there.
