Things were going swimmingly until somehow the Skipper and Gilligan managed to turn the little boat COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN (the picture does not give a good representation of how the boat ended up) and in the process the steering thing-a-majiggee (the tiller, I think) broke off and sank to the bottom of the lake. There they were, the Skipper and Gilligan, floating around in the lake tryin to turn the boat over. Meanwhile, a very fancy ski boat came over and volunteered to help, but the Skipper being the proud man that he is said NO - I CAN DO IT BY MYSELF (while Gilligan looked longingly at the nice new motorized boat). It took about ten minutes, but finally the boat got turned over and the Skipper and Gilligan threw their bodies over the edge and got back in the thing. Then they had to figure out how to sail it back to shore without the steering thing-a-majiggee and lo and behold they finally accomplished this task. Meanwhile, Ginger (aka ME) was happily sitting on the shore drinking beer and being glad that she was not a passenger on this doomed voyage. The Skipper assures me that the boat will be in ship-shape once he goes to the hardware stores and buys a couple of shovel handles to make a new steering thing-a-majiggee.
