Skipper

Jonas Grumby, usually called Skipper or The Skipper, is one of the main characters. He is the captain of the S.S. Minnow, the small excursion boat that ran ashore on the deserted island.

Personality
The Skipper is a warm-hearted person, who has a very bad temper, especially when Gilligan, ruins rescues. Another running gag is that when Gilligan comes down out of a palm tree, he falls on the Skipper. Gilligan often drops something on the Skipper's foot which makes him mad. Before becoming Charter Boat Captain, the Skipper was in the US Navy-although it is not consist what was his position-in one episode he claimed to be a Cook; in another he was the Ships Bandmaster! Being the biggest man the Skipper is very sensitive about his weight-on one episode when he sits on a homemade scale the Professor tells him it only goes up to 200 pounds; likewise Gilligan tells him he weighs between a Large Mouth Bass and a hammerhead shark! He also seems to be quite determined, both when trying to get rescued and of his hope to be loved by a certain red head(Starts with a G, Ends with an -inger).

Outfits
The Skipper wears a short sleeved blue polo shirt, khaki pants, white sneakers, and a black captain's cap.
