Chasing Otters sounds like an endless battle, like chasing squirrels from my back yard. Suggest somebody provide the Otters a place to do their business away from people? Maybe anchor a small 6 x 10 floating dock away from the yachtclub docks?
Anybody at the Yacht Club have a dog to police the docks? A friend has a Labrdor who loves to poop in the water. He actually jumps into the bay behind his house to poop, or he'll squat in ocean waves and take a dump. Friendly, loveable dog otherwise. What is attracting the Otters to the docks? Where is their natural habitat place to crap? Request population control of some kind? Open Otter day?

We have been on the wait list there for years and this is closer and cheaper. We were assigned a slip on the inside of the hammerhead at the end of the dock. When we tied up I noticed a large amount of poop on the dock. It looked bigger that any raccoon poop, like we had at our prior dock. As I was walking up I saw an otter on the dock. Apparently it is very bold and seemed to be nearly domesticated by the way some of the guys were shooing it away with little effect. My research revealed that otters develop habitual latrine areas and will go back to the same spot, out of the water where they live, to crap. Apparently, our finger pier is that spot. Any suggestions or crappy remarks are appreciated!
