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.

Objet : Stus-List Otter Problem
A few years back, we had a family of 'mink' at our club....they were no problem
(that I know of) until they started coming aboard boats. 'Final solution' was
to eradicate them...I believe they were trapped.
I saw a another mink at the club just a few weeks ago. Guess it
wasn't the 'final solution.'

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.
