5/3/2010 DB Dailies

The one and only Rabbit Island resident today was Sadie. I found her cruisin' in the Morning Glory, 30 ft left of 1BS, at 0656. She would move down to cool off at noon, and remained there the rest of the day. The rain, and heavy duty VOG made visibility nearly impossible.
At 1050 I recieved a call from DOCARE Officer John Silberstein, saying that he'd gotten word today about a "dead Monk Seal pup" having been seen at Hale O'Lona Harbor on Molokai on Saturday, by a race participant. I called Schofield and Dera at 1056. Dera called at 1326 to advise that a DOCARE Officer on Molokai confirmed that it was , in fact, a dead shark !!!!!

No Mere Mortal would have attempted a trek to the end of the world in yesterday's conditions, but lo and behold I recieved Ka'ena Point shots from the Kendall Expedition after the dailies had gone out. I found the shots this morning. They spent the day with Kerby and Ka'ena.

My #1 son, RIP (the original Rabbit Island Pup...RIP), turned 7 today. Irma and I are sooooo proud of him !!
Sadie
Kerby and Kaena
Happy 7th B Day RIP.... They grow up so fast.
