On my 0600 check of Irma's , Irma was gone. I picked up the signs and continued the adventure.

At 0651 I found Duke, tucked into the base of the cliff, 60 ft left of 1BS, on Rabbit Island. He would move down to cool off at 0955, to the far left end and would relocate to 1BS at 1201. His D#3 molt is 5%.

At 0941 Buster arrived. He hauled out 40 ft left of 1BS, and would galumph over to join Duke at 1018,only to stay 2 minutes, and roll back to the water.

At 1200 on a pan I noticed that Duke was gone. As I panned to the right I found Duke and Buster just hauling out together , 40 ft left of 1BS. They remained there the rest of the day.



Team Billand checked in at 1554 with the report that Rocky was at Kermit's Reef, on the west side of the Nimitz jetty.

At 1704 they reported 2AW at "feedlot" CIP.

Tracy called late in the day, to advise that she got photos of Lona, on 9-28-10 at the Campbells Bird Refuge

on the North Shore.

An 1843 call from posse member , June, advised that she had received word from Bob , a Whale Clan guy, that his brother , Rich, who lives on the beach in Waimanalo had a newly hauled out Monk Seal in front of his house. When I arrived at 1907, the animal had departed, however a neighbor is said to have taken photos, so hopefully, there will be some possibility of an ID. You'll know when know.
