Skipper

Jonas Grumby, usually called 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 Profile
Skiper is a warm-hearted person, who has a very bad temper, especially when his little buddy, Gilligan, ruins rescues. Another running gag is that when Gilligan comes down out of a plam tree, he falls on the Skipper! 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 Gillgian tells him he weighs between a hammerhead shark and a humpback whale!

Outfits
Skipper wears a short sleeved blue shirt, khaki pants and sneakers, and his captain's hat.
