Kayaks home again

Paul collected our kayaks yesterday at Samskip at Rotterdam Harbor.
It took only one week to get them from Reykjavik to Rotterdam. It took Paul 5 hours to travel from our home town to Rotterdam because of all the traffic jams. Holland at its best.
Doing business with Samskip was great. Good services, nice people and quick delivery. We can recommend it.

    This is my island in the sun
    Where my people have toiled since time begun
    I may sail on many a sea
    Her shores will always be home to me

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father’s hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    As morning breaks the heaven on high
    I lift my heavy load to the sky
    Sun comes down with a burning glow
    Mingles my sweat with the earth below

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father’s hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    I see woman on bended knee
    Cutting cane for her family
    I see man at the waterside
    Casting nets at the surging tide

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father’s hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    I pray the day will never come
    When I can’t awake to the sound of drum
    Never let me miss carnival
    With calypso songs philosophical

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father’s hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
