Plot Overview

After several attempts to try to repair the SS Minnow, the castaways may have found a sure fire solution,thanks to Gilligan.This happens by chance.While searching trees for Sap,to use for syrup on the Islandmade Pancakes,the Castaways notice how sticky the substance is.So,sticky in fact it hardens on contact with anything.To test the substance the Castaways apply the sticky substance to wood to attach to the Minnow.After waiting for only a minute,the sticky substance holds.Everyone is happy.With that the Castaways pack,and prepare to set sail.Gilligan is proud of himself as are the other Castaways.Nothing can fail.Well,almost nothing.While staring at his reflection in the water,and holding the plate of pancake with the sticky sap,the pancake slips off into the water.This convinces Gilligan that the sticky sap is only temporary.Gilligan goes to warn his fellow Castaways who are about to board the Boat,but nobody will listen.The Skipper assures Gilligan that the SS Minnow is solid when he hits the side of the Boat.In doing so,one of the planks comes off,then another,and another,until the Minnow falls apart completely.All that left is the Steering Wheel which Gilligan is holding in his attempts to save the Minnow from coming apart.With the SS Minnow completely destroyed,the Castaways are completely stranded.Of course there will be other times,and attempts later.
