As you can well imagine, it was a pretty depressing day in the Rabbit Island world. Nevertheless, there was a cast waiting for me when I got to Makai Pier at 0700. M38 and Sadie were together , up in the Morning Glory, 30 ft left of 1BS. They would move down to cool off, and remained at that location all day.

Also at 0700 I found Duke up in the grass behind Seal Rock Inlet, at the right end of the beach. He too would move down mid morning, and remained there all day.

At 1212 Buster hauled out at 1BS and began galumphing toward M38 and Sadie. At about 20 ft M38 gave him a probable gurgle, and Buster did a definite right turn and kept a 20 ft distance for the rest of the day.

Team Billand is back !! They called at 1029 with the report of 2AW at Tracks, and again at 1059 with the report of Irma on the reef at Wind Sock, Kalaeloa Beach. The rising tide got Irma off the reef but she relocated to the beach at the same location. ( Yipee! Barb and Rob are back)
