Today was a bit odd, in that both Hoku and Kolohe were no shows during my observations . I'm sure they were hiding in plan sight and I just couldn't see them.
Today's cast began with finding RIP at the 2BS, and a bit later, R301 hauled out just left of 1BS. RM38 came along next, and briefly hauled out to R301's location but reentered the water with no interaction. He would move to a tide pool at the left end of the beach. RIP entered the water and swam to the left end where he and M38 met, and the two began RD#1. M38 was doing a lot of bellowing and posturing, but RIP stayed there and would not leave, moving from 10 to 30 ft away, but not departing. I lost RIP and shortly thereafter M38 entered the water again . At 1152 I saw a battle erupted in the shallows just off shore of R301's location. It was M38 and RIP, RD#2. R301 took off, wanting nothing to do with these guys. I lost them again until RD# happened in the shallows off shore of 3BS at 1201. That would be the last I saw of M38. RIP , however, hauled out to 1BS, and remained there the rest of the day.
At 1308, Sadie showed up , right of 3BS, and remained there the rest of the day.
At 1300 Kerby hauled out to the left end of the beach, and at 1441 RB08 hauled out to join him. It was she who initiated play activity on the beach, which move to the water at 1459. I relocated to the Makapuu Overview to watch them playing off shore of 1BS.
Thea called at 1713 to advise that R5AY had just been reported near Waialee Beach Park on the North Shore.
