Having a little issue where we tie up our boat at the cabin.

@timbray maybe some sort of ghost pepper fish decoy?

@timbray this is the greatest alt text of all time.

@timbray OH no, they ... sealed .. the dock shut!

[rphlegm@indieweb.social]

@timbray you're gonna need a bigger boat

[karlnelson@mastodon.world]

@timbray I guess it’s their cabin now. Sorry.

[deborahh@cosocial.ca]

@timbray so nice of you to build a sun bathing platform for them, tho. 🤭

[sueellenfast2@socialbc.ca]

@timbray charming agreed, good to hear and see them return, hmm https://www.hereisoregon.com/places/2023/08/newports-sea-lion-docks-and-their-rowdy-residents-are-back.html

@timbray I’ve been doing Research on how to prevent this for the several hundred feet of dock we’re putting in at Ukee.

The answer seems to be haha good luck the sea lions always win.

@timbray You need the seal of approval.

@timbray Just when I thought this couldn't possibly get any better, I read the #AltText

@timbray They're just reenacting the final scene from Titanic, as a group.

No wonder there was no space left for Jack. 🫧

[timbray@cosocial.ca]

@avi They're super seasonal. We hear they're off to procreate any day now.

[timbray@cosocial.ca]

@avi Seriously, I wonder if a resident dog, medium sized, loud voiced, might do the trick. They're pretty easy to scare off. And for the right dog to it'd be kind of the ideal life.

[mela@zusammenkunft.net]

@timbray it's the welcome committee.

[chriscorrigan@cosocial.ca]

@timbray @avi whatever you come up with, you can sell it to the suckers that cruise the “deer proofing” section of Island hardware stores.

[chriscorrigan@cosocial.ca]

@avi @timbray on Bowen, a) they have mostly left having been here since November and b) I haven’t heard a barking dog for months so, I doubt it. Maybe it works the other way.
