Rob, As you and I have discussed before, the sealion problem in Newport has become an extremely contentious issue, a tourist Kayaker was tipped over and attacked by one not too long ago, boat being sunk, all night barking ect. My City council friend has been really put to the test with these issues, and has shared some less than friendly e-mail with me from some of the residents. This issue goes well beyond the WSB Pen, and many articles and meetings have resulted. The most recent ordinance was the enforcement by harbor patrol to dump your bait and fish cleaning outside the harbor. That's a start, and should be observed and executed by all of us!
As you know this has been an ongoing problem in SF and Monterey, and is now effecting harbors all up and down the coast. It's not if, it's when when will it become a nusiance issue in HH. I can't imagine what would happen if you came down to the Magellen and saw a couple of dog's sleeping on the swim step, submerging it, and putting your exhaust ports underwater, creating a potential dangerous scenerio......I know what I would do
