The Cap'n and 2 of the crew take a dip in Lake Ontario, water depth 500 feet, and no land visible on the horizon. I remained on board for safety - mine and the boat's - I'm not a great swimmer, and the boat was still running - The boat was still running because we did not want any possibility of being stranded should it not re-start, AND I could see no good coming of all deck hands in the water in the middle of the lake with an empty boat still running.

I'll buy that story....for now.
Another wise decision by the resident Boy Scout.
...Too bad for stage your fright but the water was a lovely 80*F. (No I am not kidding! Hard to believe in 500 feet). However, it was good to have somebody like the Professor to keep us logical in unlogical situations. Of course, Gilligan and the Skipper were wet before I found my bathing suit.
hahhaha
