Let me toss out a couple of questions... I want to go back and research all the shark references too just to see how this applies ** -----
* Ok if Ginger Ears was a doorstop he would have little or no opportunity to learn to swim until it became necessary. Where does Dominic sit when he swims or flounders about in the water? On his head? Since he can't see, how would he watch for sharks unless the parrot has been trained (?) to watch for them. LOL, and who or how would you train a parrot to watch for sharks without ..... 'Gulp'..... him being ....well..... Fish food
I recognize this is crazy ass story stuff but hey, some detail you just gotta ask yourself "How is that possible?"
* On that same idea, I could see Squirrel Lips not being concerned with learning to swim since hey he knows he can float. But, after that last 'save' and the loss of his row boat don't you think it would become a priority to his piratey lifestyle? And what shark is going to really smell or want to bite something titanium or oak? That is hardly an appetizing meal when Charlie Tuna is probably close by.

Okay this is making a hilarious mental image - Ginger Ears flailing in the water with a parrot on his head.

Ok, I think I've been dense. I thought about the echo sound from the first kill and you know a voice from inside a barrel probably sounds umm yeah 'hollow'. Why did I not catch that before? And it would be impossible for Ginger Ears to punch someone in the face. He's got wooden flippers for heaven's sake. I wonder if CGE sounds like seal when he smacks them together? Sorry that was just a visual passing through. However Squirrel Lips could use a cutlass, punch in the face with the good arm glued back on and fire a pistol as well. I kept thinking about almost every story having something specifically about driftwood or drifting and doh, there I see he drifted for 6 years.
He drifted in the open ocean for six years, surviving purely by drinking sea water (which due to his wooden kidneys was perfectly safe to do) and feasting on any curious fish that got trapped in his barrel chest looking for whatever it is fishes like to eat.
