And, it was Gimli's way of covering up. You know how, when you are caught at something (Gimli at his new-found admiration of Galadriel, an *gasp* Elf), you find an excuse? Well, that is was Gimli was doing. It was sort of like he was saying, "Hmm...well...darn...caught me...but look! We must be off! Now! Okay, had a nice stay and all, but, I must be off now...*clears throat nervously*". And he was probably nervous about water, like many others have suggested...
