Sorry, not 10.5 and I knew that, not sure why I had that scrawled in my notes. I think I had forgotten to scratch it out when it didn't have any but since I only put the numbers and not what they are, I forgot.

Thank you! It is kind of borderline. There's a lot that Williamson probably observed, and a place where a man comes looking at the otters who is clearly Williamson if you know his story. I did think about asking, but then I thought it was too novelish in the way it gets inside the otters' experiences. Anyway, happy to accept the extra points :)
