6/2/2010 DB Dailies

At 0700, from the Makapuu Overview I found Ewa Girl and pup at their usual spot at the left end of the beach on Rabbit Island. While I was there they moved down to do the first of 3 observed swim session, and 4 observed feeds. Today's swims were in swimmable depth water for both of them, but still close to shore. They returned to their starting point after each session.

Also at 0700 I found Duke up in the grass at the right end of the beach. He would move down to cool off at 0930 and remained there the rest of the day.

At 1218 RIP hauled out at the left end, 30 ft right of mom and pup. He would reenter the water at 1259 and haul out again 80 ft right of 3BS at 1317, where he remained the rest of the day.

Team Billand called in early, with the report of Irma still within the signs they had left last night at Wind Sock. She had obviously overnighted.

At 0710 they found 4DF, just beyond the 2nd bunker to the west of Nimitz jetty.

Brenda Becker came through with yesterday's shots on the Rabbit Island mission.

Team Billand checked in on their afternoon check to advise that Irma had departed Wind Sock . They also confirmed that Benny hauled out to the east end fence at White Plains at 1600. As you know he departed Sandy Beach at 1820 last evening. Benny departed White Plains at 1804.
