Blow The Wind Southerly Blow the wind Southerly, Southerly, Southerly, Blow the wind South o'er the bonnie blue sea. Blow the wind Southerly, Southerly, Southerly Blow bonnie breeze, My true lover to me. They told me last night There were ships in the offing And I hurried down To the deep rolling sea. But my eye could not see it Wherever might be it, The bark that is bearing My lover to me. |

| The Demerara River of Guyana The Demerara flows in eastern Guyana. Its source is found in the Maccari Mountains, and it flows north for 230 miles to enter the Atlantic Ocean at Georgetown (the capital city). The Demerara is navigable for ocean-going vessels for approximately 60 miles upriver from the mouth to the bauxite town of Linden (formerly known as MacKenzie). This river gave the name to the county of Demerara wherein Georgetown (the capital city) is situated, and after which , Demerara Sugar, Demerara Rum, and Demerara Windows, are named. On the Demerara River 15 to 20 miles from the mouth, are the islands, Inver, Borselem, and Biesen. Borselem was once the Dutch capital of Demerara. The Demerara's major tributaries are the Kamuni, the Kuliserabo, Madewini, Moblissa, and the Kara-Kara rivers. from Destination Guyana |
