Suggested correction: Just because it appears dry on the surface doesn't mean there isn't water between the slats of wood making it drip.
Private: Skipper, should we tell em the ship is outta gas?
Skipper: Just smile and wave, boys, just smile and wave.
Trivia: In the scene where Marty the Zebra is building his shelter, Alex gets jealous and looks to a basketball with a handprint face with grass for hair and says, "Shut up, Spalding". This is a reference to the film Cast Away, in which Tom Hanks' character, Chuck Noland, starts talking to a Wilson volleyball and gives it the name "Wilson."
