Otters and Other Stuff

I am supposed to reveal my new DIY website today.  Not happening.  I have to face reality–it could be awhile. I got travels coming up.  Things to do. People to see. 

The new website might have to wait until after I get back.

But here’s an otter!

OtterHe was just hanging out on the kayak dock, soaking up the rays.  I’m a bit wary of the otters that stop by.  They are sometimes very angry.  And fast.  I usually make sure that there’s something high that I can jump on in case one decides to take me out.

But this guy just looked tired.  He barely raised his head to acknowledge my presence.

He didn’t even care that Maggie was checking him out.  But otters are definitely not afraid of dogs.  I’ve even heard them bark back at the neighborhood pooches.  “The water’s good, come in for a swim”!

Maggie and otterMaggie doesn’t go out much anymore.  She’s 15.  She likes to nap.  But she wanted to chase the otter.

Let’s wake up the otter!

Oh Maggie, he’s tired.

I thought he wasn’t feeling well but neighbor Sue said she had been watching him earlier. He had been barking at her dog and catching crabs.  He was just fine.  Just enjoying an after dinner nap. 

Come back anytime for a siesta! I’ll have my camera ready!

A Windy Day on Mason Creek

We haven’t been out on the boat in awhile due to the busy holiday season and when we had a free day it was usually too cool or the water was too low.  But we had another gorgeous weekend, the tide was up, so we set out on the boat yesterday to see what we could see…

Our House
After the boat started right up, we were off!

I’m going to throw some real estate in so you too can buy a place in Perfect. 

This is a lot around the corner.  Completely undeveloped.  $135,000.  Zowie!

It has a nice view but it will cost big buckets of money to get the septic tank and meet all the other requirements for building on the water across from federal preserve land.

See that flag, it really was a breezy ride.

Here’s an island for sale. With a house and dock already on it.

And this place is landside and comes with it! Gotta have a place to dock your boat when you go get groceries!
Windy Day
Another nice piece of property right on the point. That would have an amazing view of Mason Creek and Battle Creek. A short boat ride to the Gulf or to the Homosassa River.

Here’s a bunch of gulls hanging out on a oyster bar. Too breezy to fly?  Or maybe just taking it easy on a Sunday.
Casa de La Fuestes
One last piece of property for you to purchase. If I only had a gazillion dollas!

We got to Petty Creek that takes us over to the Homosassa River and decided that it was just too windy.  We’ll save that for a calm day!
