DB Post Monday December 29th

Buster,Sadie&Kolohe@RI, Kermit@WP, Irma@KCG, 12-29-08
Kermit was last at White Plains on 12-3-08. Thereafter followed his SE quadrant adventure to Rabbit Island and Sandy Beach for 23 days, where he completed his annual molt. Yesterday's stop in Waikiki was a reasonably sure sign that he was headed back to the SW quadrant. He departed Waikiki late yesterday at 1730, and the White Plains lifeguards reported Kermit fronting the 2nd cottage, at their beach,at 1225. Kermit has come full circle.

The day began at 0530 with a trip to Waikiki to check Kermit's status, and finding that he had departed, picking up the signs etc. I did not find an animal until 0726. From the pier I found Buster at the left end of Rabbit Island, and Kolohe tucked up against the cliff near the 3BS. Later , at 1119 I found Sadie at the rubble beach at the far right end of Rabbit Island. All were still there when I called it a day at 1500.

The White Plains lifeguards reported animals at the cottages, and at the last bench at Kalaeloa Campgrounds, The Billands would later confirm that Kermit was in front of the cottages, and Irma was down at the campgrounds.
