DB Post Sunday 9/27

Today was one of the low points of my year. The Century Bike Ride once again made the roads of Oahu a really unfun place to be. I did my usual early morning route, and got to Makai Pier just slightly before the roads became inundated out this way, with every bike rider in the whole world. There were still toooooo many of them still on the road when I made my way home this evening.

At 0638 I found RIP on the beach, 20 ft left of 1BS on Rabbit Island. He would remain at that location all day.

I would not see another animal until Kolohe hauled out at the right end of the beach at 1322. He too would remain there the rest of the day.

At 1329 Mikala hauled out 110 ft left of 1BS, and she also remained there the rest of the day.

The Billands had a much more interesting day. Barbara called at 0630 to report that Irma was still at #1708 at White Plains on D#9. Barbara called again at 0734 to say that she'd found Kermit near the west perimeter fence but he was on the move. There may have been some water sightings during the day, but ultimately the Kermit the last sighting was when he hauled out to join Irma at 1442. I saw D#1 of Irma's molt in Barbara's shots today. It has begun !

The Billands also reported Rocky to the right of the Nimitz Beach jetty at 1124.
