Here are a few maps of the Kauai male we are tracking (apparently he is back on Kauai and I am waiting for him to call). The first map is the entire track to date. The second map is his last week. The third map is some of his diving behavior recently at Kaena Pt. This seal still bucks the normal trend for monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands. He regularly has dives over 300 meters and his deepest to date is 474 meters. The deeper dives in the last image are to about 380 meters.
Updates on other seals. Still have not heard from Kermit but waiting patiently. Rip hasn't called in yet but should probably hear something from him later today.
Cheers,
Charles

Ok, is it me or did this one do an exact reverse trip to Kauai... compared to 13 Jun trip from Kauai to Oahu???
From a casual eye, of course.
certainly looks that way... and although similar to kermit, not as close as his two trips...
very interesting... and great observation. loving the tracking data, adds yet anothe dimention to these amazing critters.
