Geocache Description:


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

Lenge siden nå, men enkelte er gamle nok til å huske Harry Bellafontes sang om Island in the sun fra filmen med samme navn (1957). Andre har spilt inn den stemningsfulle sangen senere, bl a Jose Carreras. 

Her skal vi imidlertid til Island in the sand, Verdals eneste saltvannsøy, og den er ikke stor! Øya ligger midt ute i sanden i Bjørga, ca 300 meter fra land. Det er ganske langgrunt her. Når det er flo må du regne med å vasse utover, evt ha med kano eller gummibåt. Ved fjære sjø kan man lett gå tørrskodd over. Men det er gjørme, så gummistøvler anbefales, evt barfot. 

The Harry Bellafonte song from 1957 is about an Island in the sun. This cache, however, is on an island in the Sand. This small island is about 300 meters from land. At low tide you can easily walk over to the island, but it is muddy, så it is recommended to wear rubber boots (or barefoot). At high tide it is possible to wade over to the island.
