Rocky overnighted at HB. I found her waiting for me at 0615 this morning, and on a recheck at 1530 she was still there.
The Rabbit Island cast was Kerby, Hoku, R301, and a special guest star, Benny !! He had been seen and photographed by Joanne Tabor at KP at 1341 on Sunday (8-24-08) and today I found him waiting for me at 3BS, RI. Amazing !!! Once he woke up and got going , he was like the Energizer Bunny.... nonstop "cruiser mode". He encountered Hoku first, and then did a play/swim session but Hoku gave him the slip, hauling out to the mid Middle Cliff (MMC) area alone, and remained there the rest of the day.
Later Benny would find Kerby, and they also entered the water for a swim/play session. This same scenario occurred 3 times in all, with Kerby, and on every occasion, shortly after entering the water, I would find Benny searching up and down the island looking for Kerby, and Kerby would haul out by himself right where it all started at the left end of the beach. Benny finally ran out of battery around 1130, and took a snooze at 3BS, but he ended the day along side Kerby again, but there was no attempt to get him in the water.
R301 quietly hauled out to the extreme left end of the beach at 1500, and remained there by himself.
After a recheck of HB, I called it a day at 1530

Benny was our first seal report and job along with Lona. Benny is a seal who loves to be with other seals. At times when we find him, he seems to be looking around for a companion to bask with or bug.He has so much Character and seems to have travel powers from KP to RI. Wonder what speed he goes, hows his mileage, what are the hours he takes to get to RI.Determined little guy!
