TV Show: Gilligan's Island Harbor Scene and Dawn Wells

This post is in honor of actress Dawn Wells,(Mary Ann), who celebrates a birthday on October 18 (80 years old). She and actress Tina Louise (Ginger Grant) are the only remaining main characters from the show who are still living as of this writing.

The show's opening-scene harbour was pointed-out to me by our Tour Guide while I was in Honolulu (one of my best vacations ever; in the company of my son, sibs, and other relatives).  Happy thoughts were triggered once again via my sister & brother-in-law's pictures while they spent a glorious week in Hawaii to celebrate her birthday.



 The informative link below will add info to the gaps of what you know about the show's opening season harbour scene. Someone spent a lot of time researching and deserves a shout-out via this post.

Science Matters According to Gilligan

Science Matters, Part 1

A Gilligan's Island fan thought that Science matters as evidenced by the picture below during a recent Earth Day event attended by our neighbour.  

Earth Day 2017 coincided with the Science March held in many places.  IMO, the march was just another opportunity for Leftists to get world-wide (free) coverage as they demean the POTUS;  and flex the muscles of their superior brains as we ignorant, average folk shake in our non-designer boots.  Okay, I admit to being ignorant on many Science/Environmental issues, but information is out there.  Fact is, there is way too much information on this divisive subject. Thus, I appreciate short articles that get to the heart of the matter. Below is an excerpt of one.  BOLD means a link for the source.

Green Energy is Inefficient

Climate change and renewable energy is one of the chief causes of the Science March, championed by Bill Nye and others. The march was deliberately scheduled to take place on Earth Day, when people are supposed to demonstrate their support for the environment by turning all their lights on...

Yet many of the fossil fuel alternatives championed by the eco-warriors are woefully inefficient. Wind farms in particular are a poster child for wastefulness, operating at 90 percent capacity or above for just 17 hours a year .  Solar energy is another shocker – according to electrical engineering professor Petr Beckmann,  it would take 1,000 hours of pure sunshine for a 15-square inch solar panel to generate the same amount of energy as a single lump of coal. 

In the U.K., vast sums of money have been poured into green energy schemes, only to disappear  after the companies that took advantage of government spending either went into administration or failed to deliver. 

Another problem for environmentalists:  wind turbines have killed more birds of prey  like eagles, raptors, and kestrals than deliberate shootings and poisoning.
