Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: The compound of huts seems to be very close to the beach, as the Professor, Skipper and Gilligan look out and can see it. Other times, it's a fair distance away through the jungle and obscured.

Gilligan's Personal Magnetism - S3-E21
Visible crew/equipment: Toward the end, the group is around the table, talking about Gilligan. Then they see a pear and a bunch of grapes float over to a plate at the head of the table. Skipper goes over and addresses the invisible Gilligan. If you look at the top of the hut, you can see the wires used to make the fruit float. Also, earlier in the hut with Ginger, when Gilligan bit the pear, you can see the wire holding the pear as it shakes after the bite.
Continuity mistake: The professor is put under a trance, referred to as "zombiefied." When it first happens, the professor is looking to his left. Later on, he's looking straight ahead.
Splashdown - S3-E22
Plot hole: Most of the episode focuses on just Gilligan and the Skipper riding the capsule out to sea (although the Howells and the girls attempt to stow away with them at first). However the whole plot changes at the end... suddenly with nobody aboard the capsule, Gilligan tells the Skipper it floated off and Skipper yells at him saying "We could have ALL been on that capsule!" when it suddenly explodes thus saving everybody as if the plot now called for everyone to have been on board. It was still supposed to be Gilligan and Skipper only.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: When Gilligan is lifting the Skipper in the lounge chair, you can see the wires used to raise the chair up when the camera is close up on the Skipper.
Continuity mistake: When the imposter Gilligan is playing chess with Mr. Howell, the long shots show the imposter holding the spoon transmitter near the center of the table the chess board is on, whereas the close-ups show the transmitter close to the edge of the table.
Other mistake: On the beginning, the butterfly Beasley calls the Pussycat Swallowtail is yellow. Later it's orange. Also, when Beasley holds the cage with the painted butterfly, you can see the wires making the puppet move.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: The book the professor is supposedly reading radiation information from has an odd decoration on the cover over the title. It is actually technical manual TM 9-729 for the M24 Chaffee Light Tank.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When the camera is in wide shot of the table scene where everybody fainted at the Professor's announcement, he has the book at belt level. In the close up, he has it at chest height.
Continuity mistake: In the hut, "Gilligan" has the spoon of his transmitter knife open so his commander can hear the conversation. In the wide angle shots, the spoon is half way out. In the close ups, it's fully in position.
Gilligan Goes Gung-Ho - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: In the final scene when the Skipper has Gilligan in jail, he is holding the law book in front of him. The shot changes and he is now holding it by his side.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: While Mrs. Howell cleans the hut at maximum speed, the book Mr. Howell reads changes position as the scene cuts.
The Hunter - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Gilligan advises Kincaid that there's no game on the island. This contradicts an earlier episode in the same season where the castaways spotted a wild boar roaming the island (episode "Where There's a Will").
Answer: Hungarian-to-English translation aside, Erika's log-book entries were utterly meaningless. When the radio interviewer expresses confusion, Erika even reads entries from the log: "You take a left at a big, beautiful, pink tropical flower, then pull over and park," and "After the storm, we backed up and made a U-turn," etc. Her directions were scatterbrained, to put it nicely. Additionally, Erika's yacht was forced to leave the island during a tropical storm, and they lost their bearings for several days before the Navy found them. Given that Erika was such a scatterbrain, we might also assume that she didn't hire the most competent yacht crew, either.
