Last year in Tomales Bay, several kayaker reported being accosted by an
otter. He would board the kayaks and take things like water bottles and
leave. Never did any physical damage that I heard of. One person having the
encounter saw this otter was tagged and reported the number to the park
rangers. They said he was a known problem and had been brought up from
Monterey because of his boldness. Didn't hear what happened to him after
that, i've heard no more reports this year.
