At 0635 I found Ewa Girl and pup at the left end of the beach on Rabbit Island, and Sadie also at the left end, but up in the Morning Glory 40 ft left of 1BS. Sadie would move down to cool off and would depart at 1039. I did not see her again.

Ewa Girl and pup were doing a water session, in the shallows, when I got back to Makai Pier at 0815. They would haul out at 0915 and do the first of 4 observed feeds. They would do another session from 1058 until 1114, and remained at the left end all day.

At 0815 I found Kolohe on the water front rocks, at the right end of the beach. He would be run off at 1400. More on that in a second.

At 1115 I became aware of a swimming head moving left, just passing 2BS. At 1131 what would prove to be RIP , hauled out to the left end. Though he appeared to be close to EG & pup, I don't think he was a worry to EG. He would remain the rest of the day. Incidently, my dollar is on RIP as the daddy !!!

A DOCARE Incident began at 1334 with the arrival of two teenaged, local males in a red and white kayak, who hauled out at 3BS. They remained in the immediate area of their arrival, writing stuff on the sand with the paddle and swinging it at the birds who were flying by. They began to depart at 1358 but were met by what proved to be an adult member of their family, on a long board. All three returned to the beach and went directly to Kolohe and ran him into the water. They departed at 1412. I made the first DOCARE call at 1338, with more to follow, since all district personnel were on Kaneohe Bay duty. Finally, the supervisor, John Silberstein, responded at spoke with the adult when they got back to Kaupo Beach Park. They were issued a warning. Tomorrow DOCARE personnel will again be at Kaneohe Bay, and of course since Monday is a holiday, they do not work !!

As I was departing the pier at 1600, the fishermen began to yell to me that there was a seasl under the pier. I quickly grabbed the bino and had just enough time to ID, Kolohe, swimming near the pier, and moving off in a Kaupo Beach Park direction. Good luck kid !!

It was a busy little day in the SW quadrant today, and just as stressful as mine and probably more. Team Billand reported Kermit at Wind Sock at 0835, and then Rocky near the bunker to the west of Wind Sock at 0849. At 0915 they reported 4DF at the west end of Kalaeloa Campgrounds, and lastly, Irma at Kermit's Reef, on the west side of the Nimitz jetty. Apparently Dana , and somebody else were in the area also, but I'm not clear on all the particulars.

Bad Guys - or just idiots
