10/3/2010 DB Dailies

The Rabbit Island cast for today would be Duke and Buster. Duke's D#7 molt remains at 20%. Both remained at opposite ends of the beach all day.

On our 0741 Spitting Cave check we found Kolohe doing 7 minute dives.

A call from Dera at 0947 and a subsequent email from Diane, indicated that R5AY remained at the Stables area of Turtle Bay today, and that yesterday's Kuilima Cove animals was still there. Today however, the necessary right side CC and left side natural bleach, confirmed the Lona ID. Thank you Karen !

Shots of Ua Malie yesterday showed line coming from her mouth, however no line was seen today. Once again, thank you Karen.

Team Billand had a busy day. At 0959 they found Irma at Wind Sock, Kalaeloa Beach, and then at 1047 they found Makaiwi at Nanakuli. At 1114 they reported RI37 at Tracks. At 1145 they called to say that Benny had hauled out to join Irma at Wind Sock.

Team Kenyon did the KP trek today, and reported Kerby, T15M, CeeCee and an U/U on the Waianae side trail on the way out. They had thought it was possibly RI37, but the shot, and the Billands confirmed RI37 sighting, make that impossible. My personal opinion is M&M, but it's just that, personal opinion.

Is that a fishing line hanging from Ua Malie's mouth?

good eye... when i blew up the photo it does appear to be something coming from her mouth...

ANY out there notice whether she has had anything coming from her mouth in the last week.... or is it some leftover sea cucumber debri?

Yes, it was noticed and we were looking at her closely the next day. Whatever it was, it hasn't been seen again.
