DB Post Friday 2/6/2009

The Rabbit Island cast for the day consisted of RIP and Buster, and a rare event, both of the girls RB08 and Sadie on the beach at the same time. All were at the left end of the beach, and the only action was moving down to cool off, mid day. There was no observed interaction.

After yesterday's Waikiki stop, I was sweating blood this morning, trying to match wits with Irma, and figure out where she might be. I checked every nook and cranny and ultimately found the lady doing 8 minute dives at Spitting Cave. It was comforting to know where she was, instead of waiting for the other Irma shoe to drop all day long. Tomorrow ?????

I called the White Plains lifeguards at 1420 , and was advised by Bryan that what he thought was Benny, had just hauled out to the beach, fronting the snack bar. According to Bryan he came out of the water, barking and the crowd and galumphed right into them, forcing everybody to hurriedly scatter. Yep...........sounds like Benny to me !!

A subsequent conversation with Tracy provided info that earlier two animals had been a short distance down the beach at the Wind Sock, at Kalaeloa Beach (probably Kermit and Benny), but that one had been run off. Thereafter , Benny hauled out at White Plains. Scientific....no, Probable....yes !

I recieved email from our pal Val, on Molokai, late this afternoon. The Bloy/Pike expedition was to have done another trek, but as it turns out, Val came up with this oh so totally lame , and oft used excuse for not going. You've heard soooooo many times before "Yeah well.... we were gonna' go hunt for seals, but ya' see there was this deer that jumped outta' the Kiawe and crashed into our car. Come onnnnn !!.... THAT ol' excuse ??? Val said she was in the shotgun seat, and got way more Bambi than she ever thought she'd get. Wow !!! Aloha, DB

Oooops..... I included the Rocky shot, but left out the paragraph , wherein I was supposed to say that Tracy called at 1310 to advise that there was an animal at Diamond Head. I managed to get posse person , Chanel Garrett to investigate, and she put up signs and got ID shots of Rocky, next door to her house. Aloha, DB
