Or, just maybe, and he was sort of guessing here, it had to do with the fact that his face was nearly underwater.
He sat up straight, hitting his head on the mast of his little sailboat. Why was he all wet? Oh. Right. The Leak. The damned leak that had plagued him for weeks on end. No amount of patching fixed it, and many of the things he did just made it worse.
He plumbed the depths of his sodden brain, trying to figure out why he was sleeping in his sailboat and not, say, in his plane, or even at Vera's. Oh. Right. Vera. He tried to recall the argument thay had had the night before. He tried to remember the night before that he had had after the argument. He vaguely recalled being told to go drown himself.
"Well, she'll be happy to know that I can almost do something right," he mused as he jumped out of the listing boat onto the shore where he tied off his plane.
At least that didn't leak.

brilliant !! harv is a lot sexier than i remember him... bush pilot ? sailboat ? even a leaky one... i was wondering when he was going to appear on the scene. now what happened to vera during this time ?? i know vera can take care of herself, but nonetheless our last episode left her is a very perilous situation !!! i'm a little worried !!! will she be saved by an amorous squid ?

Perhaps Hell is even nicer than Australia.
