That’s a silly blog title and very misleading but is an old film that came to mind when we landed on Herbert island yesterday. We haven’t exactly gone bananas here but we’ve had a fun, relaxing day in the sun. We’ve dried off anything was damp, charged batteries with our powergorillas and solargorilla, cooked treats like pancakes, popcorn and potato cakes, gone for a very short walk, foraged for sea weed and now we’re chilling in the tent for a bit. Birds and sea lions cruise past every so often and the volcanos on the neighbouring islands keep changing their cloudy clothes, revealing glimpses of snowy flanks from time to time. We even saw the top of the active volcano on nextdoor Chuginadak island for about 5 minutes!

I haven’t checked the latest forecast yet, that comes in when I send this but based on yesterday’s prognosis, we might move on to you Chuginadak tomorrow afternoon when the wind was due to drop a bit.
