	Another hit- from Guyana: Land of Six Peoples
		The move is the latest in Veneuela's campaign to discourage investment in the Essequibo area which it claims as its territory in contravention of the 1899 arbitral award which finally settled the boundary between the two countries.
		Rodriguez was reported in an earlier edition of the daily (August 2) as commenting that Guyana had taken advantage of the fact that Venezuela's claim to Essequibo had not been actively pursued during previous administrations, but that he expected that the Guyana government would show good sense.
		El Nacional said that on July 13 the Venezuelan authorities had written to Exxon which together with Mobil is a partner with PDVSA in various projects, that any work it does in the 60 000-square kilometre concession granted to it by Guyana could be considered as illegal and contrary to the sovereign interests of Venezuela.

		The Venezuelan claim to all lands west of the Essequibo River - as displayed on Venezuelan maps after 1970 - became a new claim, since up to the period before 1970, a part of the Essequibo coast east of the line connecting the mouth of the Moruka River with the Cuyuni-Mazaruni junction was not claimed.
		Developmental activities of the Guyana Government in relation to the county of Essequibo, like all development, are in exercise of Guyana's sovereign rights and in discharge of the Government's sacred duty to improve the living standard of its people after almost two centuries of colonial rule.
		These articles were aimed at stirring up a fanatical nationalism over the Venezuelan claim to western Essequibo, while at the same time unleashing a scathing attack on the political and economic policies of the PNC regime in Guyana (which was classified as the South Africa of South America).

	Guyana Guide Part Two: Navigation
		The charts that are available for the Essequibo River are older charts and are certainly not WGS-84 Datum, so that may be part of the problem.
		The current in the Essequibo River probably runs about 3 knots at slack tide, maybe 4 to 6 knots with a falling tide, and maybe 1 to 2 knots reverse current (upriver) with a rising tide.
		We timed our travels up the river to coincide with a rising tide for two reasons: If we ran aground, we hoped to be floated off by the rising tide, and we wanted to be carried upstream by the rising tide, rather than fight the current of a falling tide.
