Goodbye Island is the eight episode of the First Season of Gilligan's Island. It aired November 21, 1964

Synopsis
Despite his best efforts, the Professor can't make nails to patch the holes in the Minnow. Gilligan tries to make pancakes from tree syrup and ends up making glue! It seems that Gilligan has found the solution to patching the Minnow, even though he and the Skipper get "attached" to the Minnow and have to be unstuck with Mrs Howell's perfume! Just before the Minnow is to be launched, Gilligan discovers that his "miracle glue" only lasts for 24 hours before dissolving! When he tries to tell everyone else, no body believes him until the Minnow literally comes apart!

Trivia

 * This episode would set the surreal slapstick comedy tone of Gilligans Island; however, the only part of the ship that should have come apart should have been the boards glued over the damage to the hull, not the whole thing!
 * Another view of the S.S. Minnow prop can be found on the page for the episode, Birds Gotta Fly, Fish Gotta Talk.
