After hearing several times from people renting that they had seen an otter in the channel, I finally saw it last week and paddled out to get a photo. It kept diving under and popping up 50 yards away so I gave up. It was MIA for a few days and resurfaced this afternoon. From the launch I watched as people paddled right by it snapping pictures. I paddled out on a SUP and let the wind drift me within a couple feet of it. A neighbor said he has never seen an otter in the harbor in the 50 years he has been here. He is a fatty!
