Hurakabara River Resort is on Essequibo left bank

Dear Editor,

Re Notice To Mariners on Thursday,  September 8, 2016, I believe Hurakabara River Resort is on the left bank of the Essequibo River, not the right.

The left bank of a river or stream is determined by the direction of flow towards the sea or lake.  Hence the left bank of the Essequibo is the western shore.  This is taught in a school’s Geography class.

Yours faithfully,

John Willems
