I was on the road again at 0530, and once again the "Irma Quest" was a bust. At 0620 I got my first look at Rabbit Island, and found Ewa Girl & pup (D#26) snoozin' 80 ft left 1BS at the Morning Glory. RIP was also there in the Morning Glory, but a safe 30 ft left of 1BS. Sadie was at the right end of the beach, on the flats between Seal Rock Inlet (SRI) and Rocky Right Beach (RRB). She has begun her molt. She is approximately 1%, with a small bare spot center chest.

At 1156 Duke hauled out 100 ft right of 3BS. By that time RIP had relocated to that location. There was just brief , low level interaction, and both settled down to snooze mode.

At 1313, Buster briefly hauled out to Ewa Girl's location but stayed only briefly , having gotten "the eye" from Mom. He rolled back to the water and swam down to just off shore of RIP and Duke's location . He did not haul out. After a few head bobs he swam back to Ewa Girl's location, and the after a slow roll in the shore break, swam back to RIP and Duke's location. He summoned up enough guts to haul out and interact briefly with Duke, but got absolutely no feed back at all from Duke and departed again. RIP couldn't have cared less. I last saw Buster swimming out and to the left. I did not see him again today.

Team Billand called at 0654 with the report of Maka'iwi (MAKA E VEE) (4DF) fronting #1811, at Nimitz Beach. Her molt was at 60% today.

A brief note on naming rights. Nowhere in the Whisperer Code is the word "democracy" ever used. It's the same policy shared by Whisperers, the Harry Potter Wizards Union, and the Jedi Knights. Naming rights go to those who have shed blood, sweat & tears for an animal. Team Billand has shed lots..........literally! They have spent every single day with this little girl since she set flipper on Oahu. Barbara actually named her a week or so ago . I kept trying to get her to say so in da' blog. Wouldn't ya' know it.... Barbara is the ONLY shy Portaqee in the whole world, and too shy to say anything. I told her today, that I would take care of it. So let it be written...So let it be done ! I alway told her that since I've gotta' type this thing everyday, I might get lazy and slip in a Maka now and then.  We need to know what it means.. please explain Barb, don't be shy.

 

The Kenyon Expedition trekked off to the End of the World at Ka'ena Point today. They found only Ka'ena, but someone told them that there had been another animal there with Ka'ena, prior to their arrival. The only description was that it was smaller than Ka'ena and had "something red on the tail". My dollar is on Kerby, but ??????

Team Billand called at 1827 to advise that they had gotten a call from the Navy cops about an animal at Iroquois Pt. The responded but found that the animal was no longer at it's original location. They could see the critter in the no man's land behind the Shooting Range, but could get enter the area. They could rule out Irma by size, and suspected it was probably Rocky, but ????????

Buster, Ewa Girl and Pup

RIP, Buster and Duke
