      amen-ra I don’t no but you are very unreasonable. You don’t know when and where you will need a boat in Guyana. As a matter of fact boats are sold in Miami cheep and sweet for a few thousand dollars. So I would advise Guyanese to secure some of these boats that are returned to the boat basin in Miami to secure some boats for flood emergency in Guyana. -ra we need more boats in the out lying areas. This is no joke……next xmas Mr. Clause may arrive on a boat…
