Mojo,RB08,Buster&M38@RI, Irma@Kalaeloa Beach, 1-10-08
I found Mojo (RI17) at the left end of Rabbit Island at 0842. His natural bleach on the top, left side of his head was clearly visible with excellent visibility and lighting.
Since Team Billand is not available, I elected to, once again check the SW quadrant. I covered Kahe Power Plant to White Plains and the only critter encountered was Irma (R010), once again , on her patch of off shore reef at the Wind Sock, Kalaeloa Beach. It is precisely where I found her yesterday. An overnighter is a distinct possibility.
When I got back to Makai Pier at 1312 I found that Mojo was no longer visible, but I did find little RB08 (a Molokai girl), at the left end of the island. She was accompanied by a Glaucous Winged Gull, which I'd first seen yesterday. We do not get Gulls here, but occasionally during winter storms, a gull will show up here. He's a long way from the West Coast. One of the Hawaii Undersea Research Lab (HURL) guys was out there kayaking and told me afterward that there had been two animals (a big one and a little one) at the left end, but that the larger one (Mojo ?) entered the water.
At 1409 Buster (RV08) , hauled out 50 ft left of 1BS at the left end of RI, and remained there the rest of the day. Two idiots hauled out with their kayaks, just left of Buster, but to their credit, stayed less than a minute. Once they realized that the rock moved and that this must be the wild life the Wild Life Sanctuary Sign was talking about, they hurriedly departed. It's a good thing they left. An earlier conversation with the DOCARE dispatcher had made me aware that there was nobody working in District #4 (Sunset to Makapuu) today.
The big coup of the day came just moments later. At 1411 RM38 hauled out at the 3BS at the right end of the beach. He galumphed up and into the depression and Morning Glory directly fronting 3BS. The Bloy-Pike-Billand expedition at La'au Point , Molokai reported him there yesterday. His new coat, posterior dorsal scar, and surrounding swelling were clearly visible. Thanks to Val Bloy's photo a few days ago what appears to be an abcess on M8's posterior dorsal appeared to have broken open, however swelling surrounding the area was clearly visible again today .
The game was called at 1600 on account of rain. Aloha, DB
