Even so. There are any number of creekers, whitewater paddlers and sea tourers here who find them inspirational - and the proof is everything lutrine from stickers and bracelet charms to foredeck inlays to little figurines for the bow.

I'm not anti-otter. I took your "kayak companion" phrase a little too literally though I think.

One kayak company I rented from in Alaska called sea otters the "dirty old men of the sea".

I find them fascinating (as well as adorable).

Check out these guys. Cute might be the wrong word.

Up to 32 kg (70 lbs)! I didn't know any kind of otter got that big.

Wow!

I will add that I'm partial to sea otters....now even more so

 

[Lorenzzo]

That is hilarious!

I’m glad you can laugh. I still have 2-3 dinner plates from 3 sets from having divorced one. Italian not Albanian.

You find sea otters adorable, or dirty old men?

Its easy to laugh when it isn't personal.
Sorry your experience hits close to home.

It’s been a long and winding road lined with some broken dishware.

Opening lines from the article.

The 24-year-old, from Batumi, Georgia, and millionaire businessman husband Galip, 57, have paid $195,500 to surrogates between March last year and July this year.

Kristina, who’s originally from Russia, spends $96,000 a year on 16 live-in nannies, who work around the clock caring for their rapidly expanding brood.

Look at those dates! They are ALL between 9 months and two years old. Apparently mom has devoted her life to being an Instagram hit. WTF?

ETA: The surrogates were paid $10,000 apiece.

I don't get it. That isn't a family. What reason would a millionaire have for breeding 21 children? All I can think of is Clone Wars.

 

[Lorenzzo]

Wait, how do you get 16 nannies for $96,000 a year ($6,000)? If the nannies knit sweaters while the babies are sleeping they could run a profit.

You live in Batumi, Georgia. Very different cost of living. Plus, since they say they are "live-in" nannies, I'm guessing they don't have many every-day expenses as far as rent, utilities, maybe even food and such.

Yes, another article* on the same topic said they had their own kitchen, which I thought implied cooking. However, "they could order whatever they wanted."

*I shopped for a version of this that wasn't plastered with obnoxious blinking ads. You're welcome.
