LONELY ISLAND - A man is stranded on a desert island and must find ways to kill his boredom. As our Mr Lonely spends his time trying to find ways to entertain himself, we wonder if he will ever want to go back home.
 
The Castaway, is a new model with a new tool combination. It has two main blades but no bottel opener. It’s similar to the model called Carver from 2013, but the marlinspike replaces the awl/reamer.

Didn't we hear that in an old movie on TV years ago? We had no BBC in the US back then, but I recall that song....

"This is (By The) Sleepy Lagoon composed by Eric Coates and performed by Eric Coates and the Symphony Orchestra.

"The original version was recorded by Coates for introducing the BBC radio series Desert Island Discs, which has run since 1942, and the theme is still in use today.

"Other hit versions were recorded by Dinah Shore, David Rose, Fred Waring, Glenn Miller and others.

"The song made the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960, in a version by the Platters, found originally on the flipside of the 1960 top ten "Harbor Lights".

 
Not exactly alone.....on Mount Desert Island, Maine!

"Mount Desert Island in Maine owes its name to French Explorer Samuel de Champlain, who reflected on the island’s treeless mountain summits and named it “Ile de Monts Deserts,” which means “island of the bare mountains.”

At 1,532 feet, Cadillac Mountain is MDI’s highest point—and the first place in the continental United States to welcome the sunrise each day".


"Many visitors are unaware that Mount Desert Island—or MDI, as it's known locally—has a rich history, established culture and thriving economy separate from Acadia National Park. The island has a local population of approximately 10,000. This population swells in the summer, at which time you might see such "summer visitors" as Martha Stewart or Rockefeller heirs who have summer cottages here".
