I do know, though, that river otters also fish in salt water. Apart from that, otters are just otters as far as I'm concerned. Cute little creatures.<br /><br />John V.<br /> John Vigorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215080385571534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-55623179668110270152013-01-30T22:49:20.645-08:002013-01-30T22:49:20.645-08:00I have to agree with JAS on this one.

Are you sure you don't mean River Otter? They are common throughout the inland sea.JAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530225974587637163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-14993653480204265112013-01-23T01:07:35.893-08:002013-01-23T01:07:35.893-08:00Heartly agree with you John, a marvelous area to s...Heartly agree with you John, a marvelous area to sail. I have in the past had some good times on the Canadian side, when living on Vancouver Isl. One of the most memorable was on a vessel "Pacific Grace", a 138ft Gaffed rigged Schooner. Along with 30 eleventh graders from the northern interior of B.C. we sailed the Gulf Islands for a week. Some of the students hadn't even seen the sea before and their first "dip" in the ocean in was enlightening to say the least! When a pod of Orca's made their way by just as we returned to Victoria harbour, the whole ship's company stopped what they were doing it seemed, to watch even though I'm sure some aboard had seen this sight many times before.
