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

No otter, but we also have mink at our club. They come on the dock only to catch fish, not to poop. Also have a blue heron fishing on the dock (Henry as we call him, or her, or whatever). We like him better on the dock than the masthead. Pierre Tremblay Avalanche #54988 CC38-3 WK, hull #76
