DB Post Monday 5/25/2009

First of all I have an "Oooops" to "fess up" to in yesterday's dailies. I neglected to put in my all too brief sighting of Kolohe (RW22), and Spitting Cave at 0746. Just as my wife and I were coming down the last few steps, onto the rocks, we saw Kolohe with a Yellow Tang in his mouth, just outside of the big rock at SC. It was well over a mouthful for the little guy, and he dropped it and surfaced twice more gnawing on something. The entire episode was something less than a minute, and we did not see him again, though we stayed for quite a while. Okay.... now, on to today's news.

The Rabbit Island cast for today would be Ewa Girl & the Pup, and M38. Ewa Girl & Pup would do 3 feeds and 3 swim sessions today, all taking place at the left end of the beach. M38 popped up at 3BS at 1003, and at 1139 on a pan I noticed that he was no longer visible. At 1214 I found him rolling in the shallows fronting 1BS, but Ewa Girl & Pup were swimming in the area, and Ewa Girl charged him and he took off. I did not see him again today.

White Plains , Lifeguard, posse person, Sara called at 1400 to report that Irma (N3) had just hauled out to the right side of the east perimeter fence. The place was a total ZOO today, with hordes of Memorial Day crowds. The lifeguards cordoned her off and the Billands responded initially, confirming the Irma ID. Barbara confirmed in a call at 1700 that other volunteers would be manning the fort until dark.
Aloha, DB
