A neighbor used to keep his off and the stench in the spring was overwhelming.

The water issue in your area could be related to the high water table and springs in your area of the island. When the family had a lot & platform near your place, before yours was built, the hillside of ours and others would always be very wet in the spring and at other times of the year. Water was an issue even with the sono tube pilings and during one winter the ice pushed a couple almost out of the ground.
