Caribbean Pelican Rides, the new ambhibious waterfront attraction, is offering free rides to the first five persons showing up at its Coast Guard dock location Sunday. Rides begin at 1 p.m and run hourly through 4 p.m.
The Pelican is the idea of local resident Sonya Nelthropp to provide a land and water tour of Charlotte Amalia Harbor. The craft, itself, is a British version of the World War 11 landing craft called a "duck." Nelthropp stressed that the tours would be fun for residents, as well as tourists. There are special rates for residents.
