Well we continue to be amused by the "kid" Today we were called to the wharf at 12:50p.m. Seems KP2 has now become a construction worker. There have been some pier workers at the wharf for the last couple weeks. Today KP2 decided he would climb aboard the platform and take a nap--he even used the lifejacket as a pillow. Wish I would have had a photo of that!! When the workers were done for the day they could not get KP2 to leave the platform. They lifted the platform out of the water with KP2 still sound asleep (Dave wasn't too happy about that one!) Once they got the platform out of the water KP2 got off the platform and found his next snoozin spot under the picnic table. That's when my husband and I arrived
He is also really becoming a wharf/island mascot. Yesterday a car load of folks from Seattle came to the wharf looking for him cuz they'd heard about him and wanted to take his photo. He really is a great poster child--lots of good PR/exposure coming from this, I just hope that nothing "bad" happens to him.
Here are some photos of todays adventure.I will be telling this story next week at the conference--so pretend like it's the first time you've heard it!!! Fondly, val bloy

I feel great concern for this Legendary Monk Seal KP2. The story is adorable, yet, we all know this is not good for a little seal in a human's world. He looks great, he looks alert and plump. Glad the construction workers are good with him. This poor seal means no harm to any human,he justs wants love and a place to stay. A car load of visitors? How did they know of KP2? Hmmm, kid is really getting famous. I too hope no one harms this sweet kid, hanging out at the wharf. He has turned into a HARBOR SEAL!!! Hope the capture of him goes smoothly and KP can get back to being a monk seal and finds his other brothers and sisters at his next location. I want to keep this darling seal myself. I miss him ever since he left Oahu in December. Thank you Val for the update. It made me smile and concerned at the same time. THanks for being a good MOM to KP, he needs looking after, even if he is surviving on his own. He loved his octopus at the KMCB and we all loved observing his reaction to eatting one. Be anxious to hear if ya get em. Be gentle, he is so worth saving, he has grown on all of us and we want this seal to make it, along with all the others on Molokai. Good luck!!! Miss ya KP2, you'll always be in my soul!!!
